Where to buy AC to 12V (13.8V) DC convertor that can support 20+ amps?

Anyone know where I can get one? I'm searching on google, but it's not turning up too much.. looking at home theater amps, and they're $1k+ for an amp that could supply a decent amount of power to my subs.

You powering them with 12VDC?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Yeah.. they're car subs. The amp takes 12V DC input. It pulls a little under 20 A.

Radioshack has one that looks like it claims it can do it

First I'd check with some stereo guys to be sure the amp will like the power supplied to it. Seconds, what type of subs do you have that you're looking at 1k+ for an amp to power them? Perhaps its overkill and you're not going to be able to hear the other sounds over the thunderstorm in the corner? Personally I'd sell the car subs and get some for theather use that match in both sound and design (I don't want car boxes sitting in my corner )

I've got a 30A ~12V Power supply...I believe the brand is Astron , that has taken a similar beating to what you are proposing.

a couple of links up I saw a link to AES...looks like they are selling the model I have...RS35-A...for $149

This mofo is HEAVY. What ever you get, put some fans on the heatsink

How do these things output? Do I need to buy some 8 gauge wire to connect to the terminals on the front of the unit?
