I don't think you're going to be able to find a estimator ability supply with a single +12V rail that will be able to supply enough electric current. A 2KW computer ability supply would take multiple +12V track.

Hold with ka888, no chance of finding a 'pc' power supply to run a 2K amp and why the heck would you wanna?

lol @ this.

Kid- you can buy a DJ amp that is rated at 100watts that volition output fashion more power than your 2000 watt car amp.

Look at something like a crown 402 if you want clean power cheap.

yous only want a 2k transformer. not a reckoner psu... or a battery charger and a bombardment. connect the charger to the bombardment and and then the amp. if yous dont use a battery your probable to blow the amp as the battery works as a kind of regulator.

A 2KW transformer is useless without the rectifier and filter stages. Pure Air-conditioning isn't going to get you anywhere and a 2KW transformer would exist huge and heavy.

The bombardment would act similar a capacitor non a regulator.

Before y'all purchase annihilation check your habitation fuses/breakers, effigy 1amp = 125 watts, a typical fuse/breaker for whatsoever room except utility/kitchen, should be 15Amps, which would give you 1875Watts, commonly you don't want to exceed 80% of the fuses capability. For this case, 1500 watts would be your max on a 15A fuse/breaker.

Amps 10 Volts = Watts

In Summary:
15A: 1500Watts
20A: 2000Watts
25A: 2500Watts
30A: 3000Watts

Recall this is EVERYTHING on that fuse/breaker, which is normally 2 rooms per fuse/breaker, so if you max out on i electrical socket (which I don't recommend anything over 1300watts on an private plug), nothing else can be using electricity or you'll blow the fuse.

Also many Amps on a fuse/billow tin crusade significant damage to your homes electrical system, depending on how erstwhile your home is, wire guage etc...

Promise this information helps.

As well, keep in mind that a lot of car stereo shops will oversell wattage on cars... based on A 10 V = W, every bit stated above, a 2000watt Amp would require a 165A Alternator in a auto. Alternators of this size are typically found on large diesel trucks, whereas 120A's on Pickups, and typically lx-80A on cars (stock). Cars/Trucks usually are 12Volts, to mimimalize the compexity of vehichle electrical systems.

You would probably be fine pushing a 1000watt PSU into the Amp, nonetheless check the 12V rails for maximum wattage, even if you got 700Watts, that would be almost the maximum yous could get from a car alternator if you never upgraded it. (Meaning piffling to no change from what was in your motorcar, assuming no upgrades).

Too on fuses/breakers, typical homes with 15Amps have 14 guage wiring, and 20Amps 12 guage, do non exceed the maximum specification of Amps on the wire or you'll probably commencement a fire. Scratch that: You will start a fire if you exceed the amps/volts on a what a wire is specified at.

1000watt psu from a old server will work merely fine, mine produces 40 amps
no sweat of totally make clean power with no hum or noise i can hear. That probable wont totally max your amp, but its unlikely your amp really put outs more than 400rms.

At that place is no unmarried PC PSU larger than 2000W.
You could probably use a car battery charger(non certain) or a bench ability supply, both are expensive options, no doubt.

Yes, y'all can. With a 2000w DJ amplifier. There out there, but look for 1 with the lowest harmonic distortion. The second best pick, rig upwardly a high output alternator to run off a beefy electrical motor. If you lot're deadset on automobile equipment indoors look upwards BigDWiz on YouTube. He shows a pretty bulky indoor setup.

Look at 3:08 for an idea of the ability needed to run 10,000w indoors. For 2000w you will need at to the lowest degree a HO alternator, a battery or two, and a beefy cap (five-25 Farad). Get with a DJ amplifier unless you ABSOLUTELY have to!
