[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 74603, member: 122"] Not recommended. There's so much inefficiencies during the 220V-12V-whatever-the-amp-uses-internally that you'll be converting a lot of power to heat. Then there's the issue around which PSU to use? Linear PSU's doing 12V would need 40A to be sufficient and SMPS's out of Computer's would need many outputs connected in parrallel to get to that current. You welcome to try, but may just be better off buying a plate amp (around R1800) and selling your monoblock amp that you have. [/QUOTE]
