no problem, glad i could help!!

Hey can you help me out real quick? i wanted to know if just one of these wires is really enough to output all the power cuz why not use all the black and yellow wires at the once? would it give me extra power? @@CustomKartsAndMore

thanks brotha!

@@naiphodeo glad i could help 💯

your welcome, glad i could help!

LOL, well glad i could help you out brotha!

awesome, glad i could help.

Of course it absolutely applies. You'll want to make sure your power consumption on your audio amp is below the output of your pc power supply.

yeah, it should work.

There are enough yellow and black wires in the power supply that you can clump them together to about the size of 4 gauge wire. You will need 750w or higher power supply to allow your amp to go at full power.

@@jboblk I have 750 watt power supply I’m trying to hook up my single kicker cvr 15s was using Xbox 360 block 270watts and I could only go barely half way before it cut so I decided to get a pc power supply will this do the job I’m trying to use more then halfway volume

@@jboblk also I’m running planet audio 1000 watt amp

yea the power supply handles that.

Connect more yellow (12v) wires and you'll draw more power out the PSU

Does it also increase amperage?

thats actualy a good question. i never tried that before. but im thinking the amp is only going to use as much power as the power supply will supply.

Yes if u add all the yellow wires and and all the black wires together u will get more output

yeah any one of the black and yellow ones. all of the individual connectors should have a black and yellow wire.

The more yellows the better. A single one will work but is too thin to really carry any serious current. I ran 3 yellows to my car stereo amd the rest to my kicker mono amp. Ive had mine since about 2018 and use it all the time here in the oilfield cranked up loud all day and no issues.

I did this with a 600 watt power supply with a kicker 400.1 mono amp to one American Bass 10 and an Alpine bluetooth receiver running four 6.5 coaxials and holy hell is it loud! Ive had it running since 2018. I took all of the yellows together and all of the blacks together. One yellow won't supply as much current as multiples will. I ran 2 or 3 yellows to the car stereo and the rest to the amp. People are so blown away at how loud it screams and how low the bass goes.

id try and keep it above 300w. but yeah im thinking any other ones should work.

@JoshuaShultz8287 thank u bro and amazing video too 😊👏

lol, yeah thats 12v. i actually copied another video i had seen and made my own video.

@@CustomKartsAndMore can I ask what's the max watts for the speakers your running off the amp are?

2-10’s and i think the amp is 1200w. somehow that little 400w cpu power box runs them with no issues

im not even sure to be honest. but i would think it would double the current LOL. i never tried it

Yes it makes a difference the more you add the more power you get

not sure actually. i just happend to have a 400w power supply laying around and hooked it up. the amp itself is 1200w i believe. and somehow it still works fine. the bass has never cutout or anything. i found out how to do this watching another video on youtube and just decided to make my own. to be honest.

i doubt it with that little power supply. its only like 400 watt to begin with. lol

dnh300 you must have something not connected right.. or try using a different power box.

that should be alright, the amp still only puts out 12v, it’ll just has more voltage to back it up.

@@CustomKartsAndMore okay thanks, gonna get me one now 😁

im not totally sure. i would think the 300w would work good.. it could be going bad possibly.. i would look around for a 350 watt similar to the one in the video and try that. im still using the same setup as of today.. good luck.

@@CustomKartsAndMore ok thank btw lol that 300 watt ps was used and tested as working and work at 12v but shut down when i connected it the amp

yeah, you should be able to

@@CustomKartsAndMore hey can you make a video on how to hook up 2 power supplies for better voltage thanks

@@CustomKartsAndMore it is but my voltage drops below 10.9

115v

no, you should be alrite. my amp still works since i’ve made this video.

make sure all of the connections are right. sounds like somethings not hooked up right. or it could even be the box is bad possibly..

@@CustomKartsAndMore okay cool. Thanks for the quick response🤜

tell me more of what you mean and why youd want to do that.. i might have an answer. i mean you could of you capped off each wire so none of them are touching

@@CustomKartsAndMore so basically I wanna cut the remaining wires and all the connectors and can I take the green wire out the plug and connect it to the ground wire out of the case

@abdullahchowdhary802 to be honest im not sure. the way i did it was the only way i was taught.. but if you come across anyone else online doing that, id give it a shot. otherwise i would do it the way i did. hope that helps

​@@CustomKartsAndMorehey man I really appreciate the reply after 4 years 😂 and will do thanks so much man

haha hey no problem brotha. thanks for stopping by, take care

Because i have a psu and dont know how to use it for amplifier so guide ne plsss..

@@jibranshah384 You will NOT power a 4000W amp with a computer power supply. I have a 1250W power supply and its one of the largest. I doubt you will come across one that will power 4000W, not only that but depends on how much of a load you want to put on it (how loud you actually want your sound to be) which means you will need even more power. I suggest getting a smaller amp, instead of finding a larger power supply.

if it were me id find another power box if possible, with different color wires like the one i used. or look up the box you have and see if there is any writing on the wires to identify which ones are which.

not too sure man. maby the power supply is starting to go bad. i honesty didn’t know i could even do this until i seen a video on it. but hopefully you get that figured out. good luck!

That's the over current protection in the psu. If you do not have all the yellow and black wires on the psu connected to the amp that would be the problem, if you have all the yellow and black wires connected than the psu isn't powerful enough to run that amp. Hope this helped

Well I did connect all the yellow and black except there were two yellow with black stripes can I also connective it is better at hits harder especially a low in but still if I crank up a movie it will shut off nothing like before though it's way better

Meant to say can I add the black striped yellow wires to the existing gang of them I did hook up. Very much different after going from 1 wire to 8 but if the striped ones are good to go Ill add them, anyone know?

make a dummy load on 5v rail (red wire) 10w should be enough to do the trick

not exactley sure, never tried that.
