I've looked for a while on this and haven't found an answer yet, I know you can turn a PSU into a DC Power supply for 1 psu there's tutorials on the web for that for making Lab PSU's but i'd like to take maybe 3-5 psu's 500w - 1000watts (Would be plugged into outlets with different breakers) and take all the 12volt lines and run them together to get something like 100-250amps continuous power output. This would be used to power a amplifier without it's own power supply so the current draw would be rather sporadic. Also would i be able to use the -12volt line as a ground or would i just make the ground wire on the amplifier go to a solid piece of metal or even the ground in the electrical outlet?
From what i know you should be able to combine all the 12 volt line of the psu's and have them add together, turning on the psu's shouldn't be an issue i can make a basic switch for that. Any help or ideas would be great, and bonus would be if someone knows if the 3.3 volt line could be added to the 12volt line to give an output of 15.3volts and if the 3.3volt line would be able to keep up with putting out enough amps.
The amplifier is a car stereo one reason for no power supply on it, and only reason i'm debating on hooking it up in the house is cause the thing is a little bigger than i thought it would and weighs about a 100lbs it's a JBL A3000Gti should be able to take up to 200amps at 12-15volts no problem. Oh and hte sub it's powering is a 5400LMS 18" from TC Sounds, it also seems like it's too big for the car, i was just going to pay someone to install it in the car and mod it but decided i'd just keep my old system and put it in my new car. Thanks for any help!!
