Hi, i'm new in the forum and i have a question. I bought an amplifier module (TDA7297) for my speakers and i'm wondering if i can plug it directly into a molex connector from the power supply on the pc. The specification says 12v 2a and i'm not sure how many amperes have the molex. Thanks for the help!

Yes provided you install a molex connection to the module 2 amps through the molex is completely acceptable.

Thank you very much! so fast.

Can you tell me how many amperes have a standard molex from the power supply?

Standard molex on paper is capable of 10-11 amps but that isn't really recommended since some have had incidents with adapters for PCI-E power and drawing too much power. A few amps continuous shouldn't be any worry however.
