Bronze Member Username: ReefPost Number: 14 Registered: Oct-05 | How does that work? |

Bronze Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 84 Registered: Oct-05 | Comp. audio out to stereo's Aux input. Stereo puts out 650 x 2 @ 8ohms so I wired the 2 4ohm subs in series to the stereo. |

Bronze Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 89 Registered: Oct-05 | lol. First, you either need to splice some RCAs into a headphone type jack to plug into the back of ur comp. (or buy a converter). Then plug in the RCAs into the Aux or input on ur stereo. Plug in your subs' wires to the stereo's output (usually home stereo is 8ohm so wire them right) Then turn your stereo to Aux, then play music on your comp.... not all that complicated. Don't forget to turn on your stereo... oh and your comp. lol. |

Silver Member Username: LanzarchampBakersfield, California United States Post Number: 135 Registered: Sep-05 | theres ono way to do it without spliceing rca's or buying a converter oh and watts the rms when you do this |
|
Silver Member Username: LanzarchampBakersfield, California United States Post Number: 136 Registered: Sep-05 | ok i found some xtra rca's how do i splice them then what do i do |
|
Bronze Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 92 Registered: Oct-05 | Rms is whatever your stereo puts out before it gets distorted. Just splice some RCAs... it's only a 2 min. job. That is if you think it's worth the hassle. |

Silver Member Username: LanzarchampBakersfield, California United States Post Number: 138 Registered: Sep-05 | im bored today and i dont work today, got all the time in the world, how do i spile them, just combine them? |

Silver Member Username: ShadylimitedxPgh, Pa Usa Post Number: 364 Registered: Apr-05 | i did the same thing u did SIX sounds go0d but i got a hummin noise but still sounds go0d |
|
Bronze Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 93 Registered: Oct-05 | the 2 wires in the RCAs and the 2 wires in the headphone jack both have 2 smaller wires in each. So in total, theres 4 wires in the RCAs and 4 in the headphone jack - just color match them; you'll see. |
|
Silver Member Username: LanzarchampBakersfield, California United States Post Number: 139 Registered: Sep-05 | ok so i expose the wires in a pair of head phones, i did that and theres a red a black and a yellow? |
|
Bronze Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 94 Registered: Oct-05 | Scott, on ur comp., turn the volume on everything down to 50%. The hummin' noise is excess wattage goin' to the stereo. |
|
Bronze Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 95 Registered: Oct-05 | Eddy if the red and black each also have a copper wire with them then it will work. Just match up Red to Red, Black to White. Do the same with the bare copper wires that accompany the reds black and white. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3585 Registered: Jun-04 | i can also play dvds through my dvd rom on my computer using my nvida fx 5200 256 meg video card with s video out put to my television and send the sound out through your stereo reciever as before using windows media player or winamp.....if you need more svideo inputs and sound inputs like I did you can add a selector box with svideo inputs and then push the button for the device you want to use (like your xbox ps2 dreamcast pc video card or whatever) ps...winamp is 5.1 comaptable also |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3586 Registered: Jun-04 | if you download movies to your hard drive you can also watch them on your tv using a svideo out video card like I have....I watch illegal street racing videos I downloaded off the internet its nicer than a tiny computer monitor....also dvds wether compressed or standard format look pretty much just as good through my video card to my tv as they do on my monitor except on a 27 inch tv screen instead of a 17 inch monitor .....i added a wireless keyboard and mouse also if I want to sit from my couch and send commands but you can also add a remote control for winamp or windows media player instead |

Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 572 Registered: May-05 | or WHAT IF, I hooked my home subwoofer (15rms) up to my kicker 450.2 AMP!!! that wouldn't be pretty. |
|
Silver Member Username: Iufan4lifeulPost Number: 573 Registered: May-05 | Oh and to be honest, I might be pulling out my 2 Pioneer 3 ways from my car. Is there any way I could hook them up to my current computer stereo system or even my TV or something to get added better quality sound? |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 3591 Registered: Jun-04 | "or WHAT IF, I hooked my home subwoofer (15rms) up to my kicker 450.2 AMP!!! that wouldn't be pretty." you could with a 12 volt power supply to the amp "Oh and to be honest, I might be pulling out my 2 Pioneer 3 ways from my car. Is there any way I could hook them up to my current computer stereo system or even my TV or something to get added better quality sound?" three ways come to mind for the computer 1. you could hook the 3 ways to a set of powered computer speakers that you gutted for the built in amp and build a new enclosure for the 3 ways and the amp that was built in and you would have a new set of 3 way computer speakers 2. have a cheap stereo reciever hooked to your computer via the sound port as i did in my example above and send the power of the reciever to the three ways through the stereo reciever 3. have a cheap amp hooked to a pc power supply to turn the amp on and run a 1/8 single male single input adaptor with dual female ends on the other side out (1/8 inch) into your computer sound card (dual female side) out a another set of rcas and then send the other side out to your amplifier and hook the three ways up to the speaker wire connections on the amp and your done ....or once again use a 12 volt power supply or buy a power amp used for home use out to tv to make it easy you could hook the 3 ways to your home stereo and send the audio from your tv through the home stereo and place the three ways in an enclosure....you could run audio through your tv still and control it with the remote like before and control the three ways with the stereo remote or manually by the volume dial.....this could make a nice 4 way speaker set up if you placed them on speaker stands or on a wall mount or even behind your couch with the tv sound as your front stage and stereo as your rear sound stage (kinda) would make for a cool tv and gaming sound experience ...this all assuming you dont have a dolby prologic reciever |
