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 |

Why not just use a fully charged battery?

Why not just use a fully charged battery? I could but my radio testing for speaker placement could take several hours. I was looking for something I could get clean power from for a long period of time and not worry about having to recharge a battery once I'm done. Plus, having a bench top power supply allows be to easily test electrical components pre assembly. |

The computer power supply is a good easy alternative and it's real easy to modify. Many youtube videos, some are how to make a real nice PS, but you can just marette things together in minutes if you just want 12V. |
