[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8831797, member: 682903"] A computer power supply will work fine. A cheap server supply as well, can get one that puts out 50 – 70 amps to power an amp as well. The fans in the sever supplies are a little noisy, but likely the cheapest solution for high current at 12v. Check your local thrift stores as well, I’ve seen tons of home receivers over the years. What part of Ohio are you in? There are many server supplies you can use. Example of a server supply; this will put out 12v 70 amps at 120vAC input on a single 20a breaker. However, you have to know how to wire it up, which is not as difficult as it may seem, the information is easily found to do it, and you need a plug that fits the AC input, it is not a standard PC cord. Would power a 50w 4 channel amp easily though, along with a head unit.
