Default powering car audio inyour home

nevermind, that idea is going to suck a lot even if it did work. not going
to be enough power period. just going to do it the red neck way and trickle
charge a car battery.

the info on my adapter is

input : 120 vac 60 hz 23w
output: 12 vdc 1000mA

this good enough to test a sub and amp?
sub: 1200w 400rms 2ohm
amp: 800 rms 2ohm

I know you can use a computers power supply to do this, but I currently
have all my extra computer parts in storage, but I happen to have a 12v
adapter similar to this one

think there would be any issue sniping the end off and attaching that to
my car amp, and hooking up a single sub and a mp3 player through the rca
in?

my only concern is there is no way to ground the amp like you can with a
power supply.
