what is it that you want to change???

Some ppl add larger cap's in the power supply in hopes to increase headroom/stability into low impedance loads.... (generally more in home audio)

Mostly, you hear about modded car amps, and they just re-wrapped the transformers in the power supply so the amp is making more voltage/less current or vica-versa to change the load it can make full power into....

If that's the case I would suggest using a (homemade) autoformer (or whatever they are called- they are a transformer after the amp) instead of messing with your poor amplifier....
