You can get relatively cheap plate amps and stuff off of www.partsexpress.com and hook up your sub to it so that you don't have to get an AC to DC converter to run a car amp. |

Silver Member Username: SolacedagonyNew Jersey US Post Number: 707 Registered: Oct-04 | Oh, and if oyu do decide to get an AC to DC converter, make sure you check amperage output at 12V. Need a lot more amperage at 12V then you do at 110V. |
