more than likley the computer power supply is not near big enough, ask him how many watts it is and if you get a blank look I think you can guess what to do

what can i tell him to get him off my *** about it? i told him the power supply wont be able to handle it and he's like "i know it wont crank like in your car but it will still crank".. i wanna give him a good technical reason to **** off about it.. hes already told a couple people about it so im gonna look like a douche if i just go in there saying no i dont want anyone using my shit

just tell him that low current will blow it and you dont have the coins to buy more

because something will go up in smoke, his power supply, your amp, or his house.

how would a PC Power supply even hook up to it? If it could, it needs to be a big *** power supply and a heavy one. If its light then it has shitty capacitors in it and will most likely **** your stuff. Before they even break anything, the fuse will blow inside it. wonder if he has one of those cheap 350 watt PSU's he got for $40.
