help powering saz1500 in house

[aimone 4]

so i currently got it hooked to a psu that can barely power it. the psu has a max output of like 450w. i know the amp isnt even puttin out that much power. im wondering if theres a cheap way i can power it so it dont shut off when it just starts to sounding ok. is it possible to daisy chain 2 psu's? any help would be appreciated.

btw b4 anyone asks WTF for? because my tranny went out in my car and im goin nuts without my bass. its like stress relief lol. so im bangin from my laptop till i get a car in a month or so

Buy a battery charger and batts.

Or use a other power supply.

well i aint got the cash to go drop on a power supply with that kinda power thats why i was askin about daisy chaining/strapping

and i've got a quite a few batts sitting around but our chargers gave out......ill see if i can get a charger 4 cheap on craigslist or sumthing tomorrow when i get paid

It can be done but it takes modification to the PSU's. There's tech forums out there with the information on how to do it. In all honesty it will take SEVERAL PSU's to get the power needed to run that amp with any efficiency and with a bank for the power (i.e. battery, capacitor bank, etc.) quick sudden bass lines, drums etc. will continue to drop the voltage quickly. Personally I wouldn't be doing it unless I had the equipment designed to supply that kind of power. I seen on a forum somewhere where a guy built a super heavy duty 12v power supply out of an old welder somehow. It was good to over 200A of current too.

cant remember exact model number but Sears has one for $99.99. It's microprocessor controlled for standard, gel and agm\flooded batteries.

Specs are- 2A low, 15A and fast charge 40A. If you select the wrong current rate, the computer will compensate and adjust it for the best value based upon current charge level of the battery.

I'd get it, it's nice as i have one.

It also shows realtime voltage present at battery before, during and after charge is over as well as "%" of the battery's level before it's done charging.

If you are not present when it finishes, it will stay in trickle and periodically shut off current output when batt is maxed all the way out.

It's a little noise, i'd say in the ~40db-ish range.

Ghettooo

I'd just take a patience pill.

lol damn right ......ghetto-tech to be exact. why drop a fat wad of cash on sumthing when u can improvise for like half the price or free when u got stuff layin around. hell at one point i had 3 psu's running 3 amps all mounted to my wall 1 dinky cheap amp on my highs, 1 on a kicker l7 8 under my bed, and 1 on 2 10's. wires running everywhere lol everything hooked to my laptop. i'll admit i was on a large ammount of a controlled substance but hey my room was louder then most cars around my city.

btw im no longer into that lifestyle

im patient but i can only listen to my ol' lady bitch for so long b4 i wanna flip out.. lol
