Question:

Need help hooking up speakers!?

I have a radio but the only way to hook up speakers is through speaker wire, there's no rca hook ups or anything else except plugging in speaker wire. I just got another set of speakers but they plug in through a standard 3.5 mm jack. I have some speaker wire too. I just need to figure out how to convert the 3.5 jack into wire so it can plug into my radio. I'd spend $10 but not much more to get a converter or somethingany ideas are welcome - thanks

Answer:

alpine cd + jbl amp + kappas + alpine amp + jl sub sound like a winner to me, yet while u blast ur music u gets some distortion particularly if its heavey steel music with lots of loud electric powered guitar noise. A small tip tho: ur benefit administration point on the JBL amp might desire to be adjusted like this:: turn that time each and each of ways down, and ur stereo volume each and each of ways up. then turn the point administration on the amp up little via little till u hear ur audio device distorting, at that element circulate back a notch and circulate away it at that placing.
The speakers that have the 3.5 plugs are computer speakers they may have an amp built in and that would harm the radio, if no amp is inside the speaker you can cut the plug off one end and just run bare wire that way but the impedance of the speakers may not match the radio either so you need to find out what impedance the speakers are and the impedance tolerance of the radio.
