12V DC Motor Wiring Help Needed
(OP)
Ok, first of all...I know nothing about electrical wiring. Now for the help...how can I get a 12V DC & 15amp, motor that has 16AWG red and black wires to run off a power outlet in the wall? What do I need and how do I wire it? Sorry for the stupidity and thanks for the help.

The supply above is pricey and has more precise regulaion than you need. I would look for a unregulated or brute force power supply. Could probably find one on ebay for $40 or less.
The motor should have two wires and the supply will have two terminals. To reverse the motor swap the wires to slow down the motor reduce the voltage. To reduce the voltage you will need a regulated power supply or resistors.
