Also for those interested in good audio powered by 12 volts, do a search
on Ebay for 'equalizer booster' and you will find several high powered,
12 volt, equalizers. Most can be directly driven with a speaker output
from a receiver, and if you want to drive them from a high impedance
line input it is usually a simple matter to locate and remove the input
swamping resistor. They do take a lot of 12 volt power, but it is one
inexpensive solution to the power amplifier. Don''t forget to fuse the
speaker leads too - 100 watts per channel is a lot of power (even if it
is peak power) and can melt speaker voice coils quickly.
