Ok so my appartment is a shrine of things that are being used improperly, but are serving a purpose..

this paticular one has me stumped

i have an old car amplifier, one used for like subs or whatever (sony xPlod i think it's 200 watts but i dunno offhand..), but, i have no car, so why not use it for speakers in my house? i have 2 real options, my computer, or a television. I know that it needs to be powered with DC power. I've never hooked it up before though so i dunno where all the in/outputs are...that shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Since it needs to be powered with DC power, does a PSU from a computer put out DC power? and if so, could i have the power go from the wall, to the PSU, out (something) and into the amp?

any useful info please
