You might get by with something a little smaller if you don't blast it. parts express has a 40A for $230. 32A for $170. High current low voltage isn't cheap, especially in a home. I am also seeing some computer 12v power supplies (@ newegg) that look like they are capable of some serious power. I've never used one to drive an amp though. Looks like they are 12.0v so you would have to have an amp that's not sensitive to <13v. |
