Hey BG thanks for the advice on the PSU. I have to do some research on a few more chargers to determine exactly what I need for total output and ouput for each terminal. You are probably right though. If you can suggest a better unit and share a link that would be great Sir.

On the house fire issue. From what was shared by the fire department with a friend of mine the plug had been cut off and one was put back on by twisting the wires together and taping the leads. It really was an unsafe setup for something that could create a lot of heat. My point was that if they find anything that is of a personal nature for a short like modding a piece of electrical equipment in a way that makes it not for what it was designed for, and it makes it into an investigators report, than the insurance company can jump on that as an excuse not to pay out.

Think about it. If you bought a new $40K car, and also purchased a 5 year warranty to protect your investment. Then you remove all of the stereo gear and put your own personal setup in the car just because you do not like the stock gear, or you just add an after market amp with a nice big CAP. A month later in the dark of night while you are asleep the amp or the CAP shorts out for any number of reasons and starts a fire buring the car up totally. Should the warranty cover the car? They can very easily declare personal neglegence and refuse to pay out on the warranty. Remember BG we are not necessarily talking about you directly. Not everyone is gift like you in electronics. I would not trust any home made device if I did not build it myself and I knew what I was doing. Would you let me pack your shoot on a 20K feet jump? If it fails who are you giong to go after(if you live)?

Insurance sales people are usually very nice, but the fat cats who hide in the back office and decide what is payable and what is not could give a shit about you or I when it comes to giving out money. If they can find a loophole or a way out of paying they will do it in a heartbeat, and laugh all the way to the bank. This is why they are considered to be one of the richest companies in the world. Until it looks like they will have to make a big payout for a disaster, then they want to file bankruptcy. Tell me they are not cooking the books then. I honestly do not remember what company they had insuring their home. It was about 7 or 8 years ago. It was more than likely some local company subing for a bigger insurance company.
