come on now, let's not be that way.they have this forum for US. let's not abuse it with language.and we all know curegeorg is going to put his 2 cents in no matter what.i too think this project is a waste i'll say what i can to keep you from doing it but i'll not slam you. the stereo shop would have a good regulated power supply.why not ask them what they paid for it.the response may send you to a home theater store(where i'm sure a lot of people think you should be)

sorry about the "gong" thing GONK
