Anyone know about the POWER MAX 100 amp power supply?

ThermalTake 600w
and
Random High-Power CPU ATX PSU's

From what i gather, the PSU you have is capable of 1440 watts continuous and can accommodate a bigger amplifier than most consumer level computer ATX power supply could dream of, just need some cap(s) to help filter it I think, I don't know though I'm just talkin' out my @$$.

If it is a switch mode power supply (i think it is) you may have noise issues without a bunch of 'filter mods'.
If you use a ATX computer power supply make sure the "continuous" output is going to be enough for your current demands under full load, also I have never used a computer power supply for an amplifier only a radio, it seemed clean enough though.

Thank you for the Info.
When I get ready I think I'm going to do as BBB did and run some longer leads from the P.S. to the amp. but at the P.S. I will put some giant caps I can get from my car stereo guy then go to my Battery's, and then the amp. I hope that will work.
It will be a month or two before I put the base up, after we move.
