You can wire your power supplies in parallel to utilize more current, however be sure the voltage output of both power supplies is set exactly the same. Check with d.v.o.m. and adjust voltage if necessary.

does this stand the same for most power supplies? running in parallel?

thanks

for most power supplies, yes.... Most regulated supplies have an adjustment inside of them for voltage as well.

100% in agreement.

more ideal would be to split the power bus in your amplifier.
the PS35 can power two pills. if it were possible to split the power bus, you could power two pills from one ps35, and the other two from another PS35, and so on.

Yet, it is entirely possible the power bus in some amplifiers cannot be split.

Also, if you ran the amp with just part of it powered-up, you could burn the RF combiner.
