Yes there is. You have to get a power supply converter though to convert to the correct voltage. It also has to be rated to handle the amps your car amp will pull.
Why are you hooking it up to your stereo? Do you want louder sound or something? |

Don't do it. It is not worth the money and trouble. Sell the amp and get yourself a receiver for home audio. |

There's a 30A (32A surge) 13.8v power supply on ebay for less than $100. That would power the 300w amp - probably 400 or 500 if you don't blast it or try to play tones.
Any bigger than that and you're better off just getting a home audio amp. |
