[QUOTE="Blackout67, post: 8831736, member: 683415"] So I have a pretty nice Kenwood units that I paid a decent amount for that's just sitting around in a box. I've also been wanting to set up a room for general music listening and got to thinking that I could use the HU as the main receiver and have a decent 4 channel (nothing big maybe 50watts a channel max). Also, the hu has a lot of great sound tuning options, very nice variable crossover selection, 6 RCA out puts, and it's just an over all pretty unit. That and I can't seem to find a quality 4 channel home audio receiver for less than $200. I've seen Pyles, but based on the reviews, they have a lot of distortion past half their rated power output. My problem is I don't know how I'd set up a power supply for the radio. I've seen articles that say you can use a power supply from a PC. I've also seen power supplies such as the one from Massive Audio but that's expensive. Is there anyone with experience in this field that has a cost effective way to implementing this? Don't mind if I have to do any splicing or anything like that. Or has anyone got a recommendation for a good home audio receiver that has DSP and variable crossover points? [/QUOTE]
