Hey guys.bought a new snap on classic tool box and I'm wanting to hook a car stereo system up to it.I know I need a transformer that converts 120v into 16v, but I'm wondering what size of wattage I need to run my car sub.its a500w sony amp.any help if anyone has done this before would be great. Thank you
sounds to me as tho you need a heavy duty/high amperage power supply, which can get pricey. to be honest you might be better off just buying a home receiver and pluging it into the wall. im also thinking you might need a battery or two to keep up with the amperage demands. if it was just a head unit i would think a 10amp 13.8v $50 converter would do, but your adding an amp that would need upwards of 50+ amps maybe.
I think 10 amps is enough just make sure the power supply is fully regulated to make your system sound better. If you need more audio info or manuals, you can visit http://www.servicetron.com/car-audio-manual.html
i don't see how that site is relevant to his question. he isn't repairing anything, and i don't think 10 amps is enough anyways.
