First off... Where's freezer I need his help.

Anyways I have a Raidmax PSU rated at 500W and (i think) 22amps. Here's a link for the tech details.

Power Supply Specs

What i want to do is buy a cheap little 200-300 watt amp off of amazon such as this one.

and then wire it to a sub. Not a large one just a little 8"-10" that doesn't require much power. I want to make a full little station for music to bring out to parties camping etc etc. So i'll want regular speakers and of course inputs for Ipod and other Aux applications. I'll also buy a cheap little car radio to use. So far i've been using this youtube video for some advice and direction.



So i've got all my Blacks and yellows seperated (racist!) then my green to black to keep it turned on then i have 1 white 2 purples and another color (I'm slightly color blind) just floating about. Does anyone know what i should do with them? Or just cute em off and tape em?

So far this is as far as i've gotten. I'm still learing the tech side of this so any advice or past experiences would be great to hear. I do plan on making a full project out of this taking pictures and even making a complete tutorial for anyone that wants to know how to do it in the future.

I'm not an expert on this field but from what i've learnt, a computer PSU is not exactly ideal to power audio equipment. They have no output filtering at all so unless you add a capacitor or a battery that acts as a cap to the system there's going to be lots of noise in the output
A computer PSU ran audio system doesn't generally sound like a very lasting concept anyways. Compared to conventional power input there is a higher risk to damage the audio equipment or the PSU itself even if the installation itself is properly done.

If you decide to go for it, though, i suggest additional cooling to the PSU because an amp is likely to require more constant power input compared to a computer and thus produce lots of heat.

this^. a dubious idea to say the least.
if you open your mind too much your brain will fall out.
