Bought this one on German Ebay, to power my home stereo.
Since others may have similar plans, and asked questions about powering car-[PG] amps at home... here it is.
It has 8mm. terminals on the back for power connections, a sense connector for voltage compensation over long wires, status leds [2] and behind a rubber plug is a small pot to fine-tune the desired voltage from 12 to 15 volts
It will put out 120 AMPS continously, and 130 max. [manual recommends to use THICK wires :wink: ]
The fans run very smooth, almost unnoticable [temp. regulated, so they will rev up when huge current is demanded]
Weighing 11 Kg., it was cheap to have it shipped.
2 years warranty.
As for now, I'm very happy with it; my amps are as well... :lol:
Nico.

Yes, what about the price? I'm interested in a power supply for my home but don't necessarily want to pay a hefty price tag.

This unit costs 319 euro, [app. $470].
The MS1000 setup was already working, [you're right Harold],but I saw voltage drops from 14.4 to 12.3 volts, and I didn't like that.
Now it just stayes at the pre-set voltage of 14.4 ,no matter how loud I play :D .
These voltage drops occour only since I started to use Eric's modified MS1000.... the other [normal] one never had this issue; the difference between an original one and a TA.....
Anyway; I think this powersupply is good value for money, though it is not a cheap thing to buy in the first place.
If any of you want one, and need assistance I'll be here.
