Wiring computer output through car amp to cab speakers?
(1/1)
Dougmeister:
Picked up a cheap car amp.  My cab came with four built-in speakers.  Have some speaker wire.

If I don't care about stereo sound (amp is only mono anyway), how do I hook 'em up?  Just get some old headphones, etc. for the 1/8" jack then cut off  the earphones on the other end and splice the speaker wires to them?

(Then run wire to amp, then to speakers)
SS427:
Suggest using a stand alone computer power supply (this is how mine is setup) instead of hooking up to your computer power supply...or power thru other means.

Here's a link to Zakk's site over at Massive giving amp install instructions.

For the amount of volume you'll need, I recommend wiring all four speakers in SERIES.

Definitely. You don't want to kill your PC (even if temporarily) if you turn up the volume at a party or something.
