Hey guyz

i've just purchased a bass tube and an amplifier for it for my car

Bass tube- https://harmanaudio.in/jbl-gt-x1200t-subwoofer-tube.html
Amplifier-http://www.sony.co.in/electronics/car-amplifiers/xm-n502

And i want to hook it to my computer or any stereo output just for fun

and i'm having a spare old computer psu of 17A Dc output through +12V Rail
so i wan't to use that psu to power my amplifier and i dont know how much power it will require

and after searching through the internet i found out that i can do that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOTjI7FpUKk this guy here in this video is using a cheap 600W psu to power that thing but my psu is around 400W

So i wan't to ask u guyz here how could i make this possible plz help i'm an amateur in this kind of stuff plz help
 
The specs on the Sony amp show that it will draw 15 amps when used with that 4 ohm bass speaker. If you multiply the 15 amps by 12 volts you get 180 watts. Your 400 watt PSU should be OK.
