Im Trying Something Crazy...help?

Question

Alright then...so this might sound kinda stupid but my friend did it in a smaller version and I wanna see if I can do it to.My dad gave me his HUGE speaker box that he had in his truck for a sound system,u know the ones you buy at the sound system stores.Its a Pioneer if that helps...so i wanna see if their is a way to connect it to my ipod or my stereo so I can have some crazy soundsystem in my room.I know it can be done I just need ideas on how to do it.Thanks

Answer 1

not worth the trouble

you would need a radio to plug the ipod into with enough RMS (continuous) wattage (at the correct impedance- ohms) to power the speakers correctly

(or you would need an amplifier (with the correct RMS wattage) that runs on AC as opposed to DC current

Answer 2

once you buy the 120V to 12V adapter build teh system like a car audio system, but your gonna be looking at about $1200 easily for a somewhat system, you're better off buying a home theater system (including tv and DVD) and hooking your ipod up through the reciever's AUX input...

Answer 3

You dont need any power supply unless you are also hooking up a car amp.Just hook it up to your stereo!If its not loud enough get a bigger home amplifier,stereo

Answer 4

yes you can do it it is a waste but you can do it

you will need a 110v to 12v adapter( you can find them at most electronic stores--like radioshack)

now i don't know how you would run a amp you will have to tell the guy/girl what you are trying to do.

Goodluck
