Thanks.

An electric car seat draws an incredible amount of current.  I probably wouldn't hook that up to a PC PS... unless I had one sitting out in the garage... which I probably do...

Basically, I'd expect it to cook out in a short time if it worked at all.  No way would I hook it up to the same one that ran the computer.

Since you are interested in powering a car amp and a car seat you might want to look at using a car battery and a automatic charger.   The battery can provide the huge number of amps you need for both the seat and the car amp.   Heavy guage wiring is a must to get proper performance.   A charger and battery is alot cheaper then a DC supply that can provide the power you need.
