[QUOTE="xSomeguyx, post: 626907, member: 552077"] You COULD use a computer power supply, and it will work (I've tested many a deck/amp with mine). However, you've got to pay attention to the maximum current output on the power supply on the 12v rail. I'd make sure that the current you're putting out is about 1.5 times as much as your amp will need (so if you've got an amp that may draw 20amps, then find a power supply with 30amps available on the 12v rail). Also, be away that it's going to look terrible, not to mention make noise (because of the fan in your power supply). [/QUOTE]
