sound to cab speakers?

(1/1)

originalself:
How do i get audio from the sound card to my cab speakers, I have everything connected via a jpac to the jamma harness. Most people seem to use pc speakers but i like my cab speakers. can anyone help or point to a good guide?
How do I make the wires to goto the jpac, do i strip a headphone plug?
thanks

Well you will probably need to get some sort of amplifier for them..

I have heard some people getting a pair of computer speakers and then gutting out the amp in the subwoofer..  or if you can find a stand-alone amplifier for them..

I went off the deep end ;)  I bought a receiver on sale for 79.99 to drive my speakers.  Have a pair of polk audio 6.5" component speakers.  I just plug the digital out of my soundcard into the receiver and viola.. as a bonus now  I can play AM/FM on the thing too..

At first I was looking into a stand-alone amplifier.. but unless you can get a used price.. it's almost cheaper to go this way..

Cheapest way will probably be some sort of speaker hack.. but i'm inexperienced at those..

I think this might be what you want to do:

I did this for my cab and I am very pleased with the results.
