Trying to run a HU in a house

Ya automobile car electric systems run on Direct Current, In the united states(since you use 120v as an example) we use Alternating current. Basaclly fry the shhh out of that HU.

Alright sorry was gone for a bit there. I'm not planing hooking up the speakers to the deck I'm wanting to use the RCA hook ups to run the two amps i have in my room. one is for the sub, the other is for the speakers. After the first response i got from dwarren. i have bin looking at the home audio receivers that are out there and i have found that there aren't any receivers that will work for me. what i need to have from the receiver is a two pairs of RCA's that is for the lows, mids, and the highs. either one is for the lows and the other pair is for the mids and highs, either way. another option is i could have one pair of them that runs both the sub and the speakers. i already have the crossover to separate the signals. o ya the receiver also needs to have a aux in so i can hook my computer to it. after looking around i haven't bin able to find anything that will do for me. if anybody knows of a receiver that is going to suite me please help. if not i'm going to go back to doing the deck. witch already has all the RCA's that i need and the aux to. please help and thank you guys so fare for all the help.

On the12volt you give some info and you get in

First off, almost all receivers have line-level outputs, so I don't know what you looked at.  But are the amps you plan to use designed for car audio or for home use?  If they are car audio gear, you will be wasting your time trying to make it work in your house.  Not a good idea.  You'll end up spending more for power supplies than you would simply buying the proper home gear.Support the12volt.com

Back to the original topic of using a car HU as a music source, I have an old Pioneer mounted in the wall of my garage using a 450watt computer power supply as my AC-DC converter and the HU amps drive a couple of old bookshelf speakers.  It's my workshop radio.  So it can be fairly easily done if you know what you're doing.  Power amps, though, are a completely different kettle of fish.Support the12volt.com

Yea if you just want deck power, you could hook up an old at power supply with the switch, or even an atx. If you go with an atx you will need to rig a switch to power it up, but its not too hard. Good luck.

thanks guys you answered really quick. dwarren wrote: "Let me ask you this, how many inputs combined do your amps have?"    the answer to that would be two pairs left, right, left, right. And as an answer to DYohn no this is not car audio stuff that i have in my room. i have a Pyle pt-1800(Pyle for Pyle of crap, but it works) and a rythmik audio amp for the sub. the amp for the sub is real nice though. o ya and a Pyle crossover(still crap). DYohn I've bin hearing about this computer power thing could you explain on that topic. i would really like to do this and have that nice alpine deck staring at me (actually working). is the power strip big, complicated, or hard to work with. i gust want to get the deck fully operating, as it would be in a car. also is the stuff to make the strip expensive. DYhon wrote: "So it can be fairly easily done if you know what you're doing." "fairly easily done" that doesnt sound to reassuring, if you could tell me what to do in order to do that for this deck (Alpine cda-9851). or if you think i would be better of going with something else tell me. but i still would like to do this though you now gust to do something different, and cause it is a nice deck to run this setup with if i could get power to it. thanks AaronWant to know some good equipment- JL,Adire Audio,Mcintosh,Brax,Helix,Eclipse,JBL,RE,Dimoand Audio,Zapco, pritty much anything DYhon,Forbidden recommend
