I have two speakers that came from a stereo system that broke. They both have a max handling capacity of 5 watts, an impedence of 4 ohms, and the imput wires are simply positive/negative wires. Is that wattage additive or constant when concerned with building an amp? What type/size of transformer do I need to utilize? And after purchasing the necessary parts (please let me know if I miss any necessary components), specifically where in the circuit do I incorporate the various components? I hope this question isn't too taxing
does no longer or not it truly is extra efficient determining a thanks to make a speaker cable from the dock? also no longer particular why you would favor to warm cord a speaker on to the iPod's contacts.
Computer speakers are shielded so they aren't affected by the computer and don't affect the computer. They are also powered, or have amplifiers in them. You won't get much sound out of stereo speakers if you hook them up to your compter and may damage your computers sound card. Stereo speakers also have no shielding and their magnets may affect your computer and be affected by your computer.
Sounds like a lot of work to get some old speakers to run with a computer. If the speakers are rated at 5watts, this would be their RMS value or constant wattage they can see for long periods of time. Without getting into too much detail with regards to sensitivity, 1w1m specs, etc. If the speakers are rated at 5watts I don't think they would be worth the effort just to plug them into your computer. Most computer speakers today run on a 25 -50 watt amplifier and costing around $50-100 and can produce some very high end sounds at your computer.
