so, i purchased this a while back and had issues since the drive is up in front and the carputer is in the trunk. I have the external enclosure where the power comes through the PS2 cable. I noticed that the drive didnt work well because of power issues being that the cables needed to be too long.
So, i did some searching and found that i could power the drive using the molex connection. I did exactly this. Ran a power and ground from the (red) and (black) from the molex.
After wiring everything up and using 12 gauge wires, my opus 150w wouldn't power up. The green light wouldnt blink as usual. As soon as i pull the tapped power wire from the molex the opus starts up.
Am i using the full wattage of the opus?
If so, what other options if any do i have in powering my dvd drive.
thanks guys

That should work. It says it is capable of 1000ma (Thats 1 amp, by the way). You may need toOriginally Posted by lagunatl2k
