You need a power supply that has either 4mm outputs (gold tube/Corally connectors), or a couple of contacts that'll allow the use of crocodile clips.

As for current rating, it depends on what voltage the power supply is.

I'd go for a ~6A power supply at 12V, or a 5A power supply at 13.8V

If you're feeling handy, check out this thread about making a solid power supply for close to nothing.
