Ok, I know amps run off of 12 - 14 volts, and your plugs in your house are 120 or something. So what does a guy use to as a sort of "transformer" to take taht 120 from the wall down to like 12 volts?
A very good power supply. Figure at least 10 amps per 100 watts rms.
I rigged up my Soundstream class A 50II bridged to my home theater center channel with a small 7.5 amphr 12v gel battery and a battery charger. I guess my lil Soundstream had good noise rejection because it sounded pretty decent. Only problem was I forgot to disconnect the battery charger and it ended up cookin that lil battery.
This method I of course do not recommend especially for larger amps, but a good 40 amp power supply is gonna run ya at least 200 bucks or so.

something funny that happened that my friend told me was back in the day he hooked up a shitty jensen amp straight up to the wall outlet to see what would happen(god knows why you would do that) of course it caught on fire and toasted the amp lol
