How can i power my car amp?

I have a 13.5 volt transformer, its 50hz, and its 1000mA

But this cant seem to handle the current draw.

Any better idea's?

1000 milli amps = 1 amp . thats your problem mate. it cant produce enough current to power it . id see if you could buy a 230v to 12v transformer. then wire it to that

Loads of people have tried it on Talk Audio. I can't remember the transformer but there is a really good one for between £100 and £200.

If you are only trying to test the gear, a computer PSU will work.

Check www.talkaudio.co.uk for details on how it's been done.
