Hey Nas, just as an after thought, the ripple voltage wouldn't matter tremendously should you ever decide to go this route. I happened to think, the objective of the dc power supply is to take the mains 120V down to an automotive voltage. I tended to get distracted by some of the discussions in other forums about ripple. So, like, the guys that have the CB Ham Radios that have no internal power supplies in their units, the ripple would be important. As it is, car amps have their own DC/AC and DC/DC converters with plenty of capacitance. I'm no EE, I really don't know what the audibility threshold is with ripple, but I imagine with an external psu powering an amp with its own psu inside, I guess it could be relatively high. Its kinda consistent with what Easy E and CV have educated us on; power is power. For instance, some people have OCD worse than me (LOL!) and actually believe a ripple down into the microVolts makes a 'discernible' difference in sound compared to a mlliVolt ripple (if their psu has a D/A converter). What bless-ed golden ears, right? My Eclipse HU does not have a D/A converter and sounds perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned. Come to think of it, my temporary charger/battery setup just had ground loop noise, but I figured it just was not practical to use it on a 1200 W amp.
I hear ya with the school in the email you sent me. School can certainly be a b*tch sometimes, LOL. As a matter of fact, there seems to be this tremendous disagreement between what employers value as significant qualifications and what schools value as significant qualifications for employment. Guess that's what happens when morons are in control of countries like ours, LOL. And then there's organizations like Autism Speaks that don't do sh*t for adults on the autism spectrum as far as employment is concerned. LOL, oh well.
Nas, whenever you move into a bigger place, I'll definitely be of service to you should you ever go the PSU route. L8er man.
