Trying to find a 110 volt power supply to power a 12 volt car radio for installation and sound testing. Looked on-line and need a recomendation as to what to use/buy.
Thanks, Greg |

The fan is more than 10a just by itself.
If jumper cables from the car with a battery won't work, spurge for a jump box. I went with the 1000a minus the crap air compressor for work, but this one is currently on saleStanley 'FatMax' 700-Amp Peak Jump Starter. It's my battery substitute for all the project cars. A battery charger, specially the newer ones, are expecting a battery, not the variable demands of an operating car. Older charges will also introduce a hum to the speakers, specially with an amp. |

Yeah, sorry I was talking about just the radio or any component by itself. It likely wont run the whole car (at once) for testing. |
