I think the amp was $30 and the speakers were $20. --- End quote --- What brand of speakers and amp did you end up going with? --- End quote --- They were Pyle 5.25" 3-ways, and a stereo 200w Soundstorm amp. |

What kind of input are you guys using for the amp? Is there an internal card you can use to wire the speakers into the computer instead of an amp? |

--- Quote from: kiwasabi ---What kind of input are you guys using for the amp? --- End quote --- i just use a regular stereo 3.5mm male jack to jack audio cable, between my pc onboard sound line out, and the lepai amp 'mp3' audio input. you could use stereo 3.5mm male jack to 2x male rca plugs if you prefer. some tips if you get the lepai: 1. get the 'lepai lp-2020a+' model, not an earlier revision. 2. if you plan to turn it up very loud, consider using a 12v 4A-6A adapter as opposed to something like a 12v 2A adapter. if you read some reviews about the amplifier you will notice other people recommending this. (i use a 12v 5A adapter) 3. if you buy it brand new/unused the amplifier has a kind of 'burn-in' time of a few hours after which the bass becomes stronger and the sound opens up (you also hear people chatting about this in the reviews). --- Quote from: kiwasabi ---Is there an internal card you can use to wire the speakers into the computer instead of an amp? --- End quote --- sorry i have no idea about that |

I wish they did separate volume control for these amps so you could mount them away from the amp mounting position |
