charger would likely be cheaper but would be terrible on your amp, due to very poor filtering. If you do it definitely use the regulated power supply it puts out a clean 12 volt DC where as the charger is extremely dirty.

The carger's power ouput will not be a consistant 12 Volts as they are cheap and prolly only use the bare minimum in changing the current from 115 volt to 12-14 Volt.

The regulated power supply will give you the best 12Volt supply with consistant power and voltage.

DONT even think about using the charger. you dont really know how good it is/isent.

Yep. And why uninstall your amp and put it in your room? The alt shouldn't take more than a few days total for any competent repair center to replace.:-)
