ps recomendations

just got my brand new power source from hobby lobby (power force 30 amp ps ) and its a bust , a piece of bleep . plugged it in and it took a dump on me . now i know why maxcraps sells them . so what is a good ps that puts out 30 amps ? and is resonable on $$$$ ? i think im gonna go by radio shack right now and see what they have . just my luck

ofna power supplies are excellent and very reliable... i have the older 18amp and i know ive put a full load on it and it still held over 13 volts..... the new 30amp ofna is also very nice and is only $100, for its size and weight its great!

I have been checking these out as well and for the money this one looks like the best bang for the buck. Thanks for putting this on here Harold.

Had one of these for about 6 months. It just burned out on me a couple weeks ago. It says 30 amps, but I was probably only pulling 25 or so and it just started to smell like something was burning and while I was investigating what it was it just stopped. Its dead. I'd say its OK if you dont plan to use a real heavy load on it.

I'd say convert an old computer power supply... But that's just me.

id pass on those power cubes, they like to randomly fail both of the ones ive seen local have failed and both bought the new ofna 30 amps.... but you need a damn good PS when your rocking two duos.


Buy once and not twice, a good power supply is like a good charger, its a good investment.

Best deal IMO- http://cascadeaudio.com/power_conver...converters.htm

Any reports on these bad boys. I have been checking this one out even though it is a little bit more pricey in comparison.

the ofna 30amp will do 400w and is only $100, those 400w ones are a $150....... where is the good deal?

id make sure amain will give you atleast a one year warranty on that thing, but the specs look good.

how about the p350 that steve neu sells on his web-page ? hopefully it works seeing as i ordered it yesterday . now i got to wait for this one to arrive and send the other one back to hobby-lobby . i was on another web-site that had pc power supplies and there was alot of comments or feedback on there about people recieving brand new ps d.o.a. . so i guess this is like a hit or miss with p/s . if this one doesnt work im gonna have to try that pro-tech 40 amp one that was posted on here , it is discouraging though ill say that .
