Hello, i wanted to power my amplifier wich is working, with dc power. The amplifier has a power supply on it, but i wanted to power it from a battery or from a other power supply, i figured out what the gnd and vcc traces are, i connected a power supply on it, it worked but the subwoofer maked strange sounds.I upload photos so you can see the pcb, when someone aks where the amplifier comes from, its from a speaker system from Trust gxt 38 tytan 2.1. Now i need help, i hope someone can help me, Thanks.

U have a SMPS as a PSU in that amp PCB
I presume it has the feeble TDA2010 or TDA 2030 chips.
U can use two 12V 5A SLA in series to supply ±12V.
Might need an additional regulator to provide any auxiliary supply if the SMPS has any.

by the way, if the sub-woofer is making noises, try replacing it's amp chips
Thanks for the reply, the subwoofer is working when i use the pcb power supply. but when i use the externel power supply then the subwoofer makes strange sounds. And the power supply is feeding the amplifier with 30V and 3A, and i used the exact same voltage and ampere on the external power supply.

U need to supply ± Voltages.
Measure the PCB positive and negative rails.
I don't think a single ended supply is used originally.

Give me the Subwoofer IC number first

From ur image it seems u are measuring 30V across -V and +V.
U need to use the ground line which is the 0V reference.
In the image I have marked the 0V line

U need ±15V for this amp.
±12V will also do, if you wanna use batteries. But do use two fuse for the voltage rails. One for -Ve and one for +Ve

Hello, i measured again the rails, there where you marked the 0v rail there are 15V and the other one i marked are 30V. The problem is the subwoofer line is connected to 2 ics, The first one is LM1875 and the other one is TDA2030A.
