I am a bass player and recently moved and had to sell my amp. But I do have most of what used to be my car stereo. I don't really have interest in putting the stuff back in my car so I am trying to figure out if I can rig an amp to my two MTX 9000 12" subs and use the contraption as a bass amp. I have two amps, the one I was going to try to use is a Kenwood KAC 7285 600W amp. Can this be done? Am I going to blow up my house when the thing short circuits and goes supernova on me? Also any idea, if this works, how I could control the volume? |

Those can run up to $100 alone. Volume control can be utilized with an inline dual-ganged potentiometer. |

Thank you for the info. The amp only has 2 20A fuses so I was guessing it only needed 40A of power. I have a 12volt power supply that will go up to 50A. You don't think that that would do the trick? |
