i have a:

KENWOOD
Class D mono power amplifer
KAC-x10D
300Watts RMS x 1 at 4 Ohms and 1% THD+N

Fuse(40 Ax1)
Operating Voltage 14.4volts (11 - 16 allowable)
Current consumption 318x65x286mm

is there a way for me to able use my house electricity to connect to that amplifier without blowing it up?
my brother told me to find a transformer that can handle the amount of electricity to have it running...
the reason why i want to do this is because i have 4xKeenwood 1200w each 12inch subwoofers that are sitting in my basement...
and i have a home theatre there but have shitty subwoofers...and planning to use those 4 or just 1 as my woofer :)

buy a 12 volt power supply, or a battery charger (make sure amp power wire is fused)

If you have an old computer/ computer power supply lying around at home you can rip out the psu and with some simple cutting you can power it easily.

they tend to not have the correct amps and cut the amp on and off when really banging the subs
