Q-Ball Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I know its been done. Klipsch has done it with some guys truck and someone else did it with Logitech's. I personally have the Klipsch 5.1 Ultra's, but for my car I get a set of Logitechs z560's for free. With an extra sub. How can I get this connected to my car? What do I need? Thanks.

CSI_MuNkY Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 You spend $600 on a fancy alarm system... only to put computer subs in it? Do I have to drive accross the city to smack you up the back of the head, or will you come here for it?? What ever happened to the wife buying you some subs? does she not love you anymore?? Mine bought ME subs! Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckethead Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Do I have to drive accross the city to smack you up the back of the head, or will you come here for it?? I would have to agree... computer speakers don't belong in a car. You'd be better off keeping your stock sound system than doing all the extra work to hook up those computer speakers. If I were you, I'd sell those speakers on ebay, take the money and start buying real car audio stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegasm Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I would have to agree with everyone else. If you want to get technical, computer speakers typically run at 8 Ohms, whereas car speakers run at 4 Ohms. So if you run computer speakers in a car, you have the risk of blowing something up, either the speakers or your HU. Plus, the PC speakers most likely run off of 120v AC, so you'd need to run an inverter from your battery to power the speakers. It's almost easier to just sell those and buy car stereo equipment.

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I think it will look silly. Get some components for the front, run them off the HU for now, and get a cheap amp/sub package from Best Buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
