Default Power Supply To Use Epicenter @ Home?

I have an Audio Control Epicenter that I want to use at home, since they no longer sell their "Phase Coupled Activator".
http://www.mobileaudiocontrol.com/pr...oduct_id=14165

I just bought an SVS sub that can handle the 1st bass octave quite nicely - http://www.svsound.com/products-sub-box-plus2.cfm and really want to get the Epicenter hooked up to give me the lows I'm looking for.

Anyone know what sort of power supply / converter I need to use to be able to hook the 12 volt Epicenter up in my house through 110v regular wall power?

Any help is greatly appreciated... thanks!

A standard AC/DC 12v converter will work fine. The Epicenter shouldn't draw much current so a small converter will work fine. Maybe cost ya $30-$50? Check places like Frys, Radio Shack etc. Or whatever your comparable electronics stores are.

Cool, picked one up and got it hooked up.

Sounds absolutely INCREDIBLE, watched Fight Club last night and have run several cd's through the system and the lows are crazy with this sub / setup.

Can't imagine what it would sound like in a smaller more loaded room (my room is large with a few hallway / doorway openings that hurt the loading of the bass).

thanks,

I didn't get it from that website, just using that for the description. Works great so far, have run about 50+ hours of music and 5 or so movies through the system since the Epicenter install and nothing has failed to rattle the windows.

Even had one of my canned lights almost rattle all the way out. The bulb had literally unscrewed itself until it was hanging by about two threads. I've started checking the lights now for safety to make sure none of them drop out of the ceiling!
