if you have a decent pc power supply 400 watt or more you can connect it to that
this is what i normaly do tried and tested that way for years

That's was the first idea in my head jukejohn ,bud den thought wud b hard on pc system,as I going 2 run 4-6 speakers at 60watt rms,just don't want fry the motherboard on that heavy ish load,safer stay separate

[jukejohn]

no it wont fry your motherboard lol trust me im a electronics engineer the worst that could happen is
at full volume the amp would struggle
if you have a spare pc psu you could use that its only a matter of linking 2 pins together to run
it as a seperate power source

but if your not comfortable with that dip into your pocket and order a 12volt psu 7 amp
should be plenty

Hi guys

I was told once that if you use a car amplifier you must also use car speakers (aparently there is something diffrent about them ?), I dont know if this is true as I've never tried it.
Maybe its nonsense but I just thought it was worth a mention. 

[jukejohn]

no thats not true its all about using the right impedence

So my SHARMANS MODEL PS-5    13.8V...5AMP CONSTANT      7AMP SURGE,,,,,wud b ideal to handle that amp bud?

no thats not true its all about using the right impedence

agree with that............jukejohn......
i must post few pics of my home cinema......u may guys b interesting to c my package....as we all involved r passion about music and other electronic stuff

[jukejohn]

yes that psu should do the trick

i also have a home cinema set with 40 led tv and sound bar i use xbmc

[dex]

nice1 bud...........u say that u have sound-bar,,,how did u find surround effects from that bar ,,,,,,what brand and specs is it,,sori 4 asking so much,am just in 2 that stuff big time
Am using Mordaunt Short MS500 5.1 THX-Certified .........bought 8 years ago.......going 2 cinemas dis days.......thinking my speakers sounds better.....lol
Music is my passion

[jukejohn]

to be honest im happy with the bar its a no branded of ebay about £120 but you cant beat a real
5.1 surround speakers or 7.1

also was dj myself but hung my mice up about 12 years ago i was a cheesey dj local pub
and weddings more tony blackburn the pete tong if you know what i mean seems djs i come
across these days are scared of the micophones just play constant house and rap music

god im old
lol

[dex]

nice to meet the older gen Dj,as technology growing up, we also c a dif typos of Djs.lol
i personally use MIDI controllers with Serato,,,,,,,,,,,and its best thing ever dis days,,,,,,but still hard work as u constantly monitoring tracks and taking requests loll
Pete Tong,,,, 4 sure..hard 2 beat an old school
And yes, u r right about some Dj scaring the mic,,,,, i personally think its main foundation being busy with music and also talking on mic as it create better atmospher feeling 

[jukejohn]

you got it thats the spirit

was on cds dude for me heavy kit to carry around must be a breeze using mp3s but its
all about presentation

[dex]
