Frequently Asked Questions

Q10) Can I use an instrument cable (shielded) to connect my amp to my speakers?

Ampeg : Frequently Asked Questions
No. Using instrument cable to hook up your speakers can cause intermittent power loss, cause your amp to oscillate and damage the amp and/or your speakers. Please use 18 gauge cable or heavier (16, 14, or 12).

Can I connect your subwoofers to my computer or computer speakers?

HSU FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
It is relatively easy to connect a HSU subwoofer to certain computer sound cards. These sound cards have a dedicated subwoofer output. Without a subwoofer output on the card, it is still possible to hook up a VTF or STF-3 subwoofer, since these subwoofers have stereo inputs. Use a Radio Shack splitter/adapter (one 1/8-inch stereo male to two 1/8-inch stereo female). Take the stereo 1/8-inch output from the computer sound card.

Can I connect a guitar amp head to the JDV without speakers?

Radial JDV active direct box FAQ
No. The JDV is not a load box. This means that you must connect the amp to a load 1st (like a speaker) and then you can connect the JDV to the load.

I don't have a speaker cable. Can I use an instrument cable to connect my amp to my speakers?

SWR® - Amplify Your Future™
No. Using instrument cables to connect your speakers can result in intermittent power loss, amp oscillation and speaker damage, as well as rendering the cables useless for any purpose. We recommend using 18-gauge or heavier speaker cables.

How can I connect the unit to my speakers?

MP3 Jukebox Player Frequency Asked Questions
The audio output is a standard line-out 3.5mm stereo jack, with an AC voltage of 1-2V. This can connected directly to the auxiliary input of most HIFI amplifiers, in place of a CD player. There are also four solder points on the PCB for 'hard wiring' audio. See the manual for more details. Another useful gadget is an FM stereo transmitter, which can be used to broadcast the audio output from the player to nearby radios and/or HIFI receivers.

E. How do you remove the rear speakers / amp assembly?

Frequently Asked Questions
I just removed one yesterday from the junk yard. It's the same procedure Matt D listed below. Just remove the the rear seat enough to lift the rear deck lid up around the speakers. There are three clips and three 8 mm bolts. I removed all three bolts and two clips. Then I went to the trunk and carefully pulled the speaker and amp assembly down. If you simply need to remove the speaker, that is even easier and can be done solely from the trunk. - /Bryan (91 SE), 6/16/01.

What size amp should I get for my speakers?

Vidsonix Tip, Tricks, & F.A.Q. Page
If the speaker are rated for 400 watts peak and are 8 ohms, then you can use an amp that is 400 watts (peak) per channel @ 8 ohms (an 800 watt amp). You can use a lower wattage amp, but you will be limited by the amp. You can also technically use a higher wattage amp, just don't use it a higher volumes which would drive the speaker over its wattage limit and potentially blow the speakers.

How many speakers can I plug into my amp?

Support - Face Audio
This can be a long answer, but to keep it simple; each speaker has a load resistance usually given in ohms. When you add speakers in parallel, jumping one to another, it lowers the ohms by half (i.e. - adding two 8 ohms speakers is a 4 ohm load on the amp). So back to the question; if in the amplifier specs it gives you the wattage for a certain load (Ohms), it is safe to run the amp at that level per channel.

Should I spend more on the CD player, Amp or Speakers?

Radfords - HiFi - Home Cinema - Custom Installation
There are many schools of thought on this subject. Linn for example say that more should be spent on the source (CD player, Turntable) and less on the amplification or speakers. We on the other hand tend to think that balance is best; basically spend the same on each component. By doing this if you decide to upgrade your hi-fi at any time in the future you will know that your system will always be balanced. Also by balancing your system the features on your equipment.

What speakers do you recommend for use with your mini-amp circuits?

runoffgroove.com FAQ
While the Ruby, Little Gem, and Little Gem MkII practice amps can be used with any speakers, best results are achieved with full-size speakers intended for use with guitar amps. The amps will work well with an total impedance of 4, 8, or 16 ohms. We've tried hi-fi speakers, clock-radio speakers, and auto speakers - they just can't cut it. For me, using anything other than a speaker designed for the frequencies of an electric guitar produced sounds more like a toy than an actual amp.
