stero speakers

[aroma]

right you learned types
have a cd player in the jeep but cant fit 4 inch speakers
spec are max 50w x 4
continuous 22w x 4
load 4 ohms
preout max 2.2V
now can i use a set of computer speakers and what do i need to look for on the sticker
this might as well be a foreign language to me so simple answers please
my speakers have 3.o W x 2
and dc 9 volt
thanks

as long as the ohms (resistance) is the same they will be all good. not sure what power rating computer speakers are tho. have you been to see a car audio shop at all?? maybe they can fit them somewhere else something more suitable maybe

very unlikely that the computer speakers will work in a car.
Impedance would be 6-8ohm normally , but being a powered speaker they could be anything.

if you hook them up to a 4ohm head deck they will go bang!

What about building boxes to go behind the seats?

You can buy sound bars that mount to roll cages, i have one in my wrangler

My mate had a Logitech surround sound computer speaker system set up in his Hiace. It can be done. Will ask him about it on the weekend.

You can do it thru the pre outs if you stereo has them

or maybe you can run two speakers per channel im sure that drops the resistance by half. dont quote me on it tho

If you use the pre outs on stereo ohms wont mater as it still uses inbuilt amps

if they are 9V then you obviously need to bring the 12V down to that. that can be done with a voltage divider but that involoves mucking around. i set up computer speakers in my very first car (corolla). just chopped off the 240v transformer (cos they were 12v comp speakers) and wired in to the cigarette lighter. then wired the front channels from the head unit in to a 3.5mm plug which went in to the sub/amp and from there the speakers plugged in to that. what i found was you had to keep the volume quite low on the headunit and use the speakers' volume control to turn it up and down. get some wicked clipping if you crank the headunit volume up pre-outs would be the way to go. just get one of those rca-3.5mm (or whatever input you have on the speakers). that would probably stop what i experienced but i only had the stock toyota hd.
personally, i would make some speaker boxes for 6x9s/components cos i hate having shit sounds

oops have been busy but
no room behind the seats and WILL get very wet
roll bar is outside the cab and prob not doing internal but???
have been promised some old computer speakers so will wire them up and
don't expect to hear the stero over 50 or 60 k's due to wind and tyre noise
and just relised haven't put compressed caps on my ht cables yet!!!!!!!!!
thanks guys/gals
