another good point, thanks ien2222 the suggestion to wire in series makes good sense in this case in order to keep the ohms load up and better protect the amp from damage due to too much current. So, to hookup in series do this : SPK+ output wire of amp to + input on first Aurasound. - of first...

uh, yeah, that's a good point americanaudiophile. thanks. I forgot this amp is designed for a box. The ACTUAL amplifier speaker output wires are the red and black ones on the photo of the rear. Looks like black/red-stripe is spkr + The rest of suggestions are spot on too.

"The cd player has your regular wires, plus 3 rca outputs... The amp is a 2 channel amp with one set of rca inputs." regular wires? if so, connect exactly as you would in the car. DC 12V power to cd player's switched and unswitched inputs ( red, yellow?) DC 12V power also to power amp switched...

"Maybe figure out why you blew 3 speakers first before hooking up more and blowing them too. " To help here, the point is maybe the Pioneer amp is defective and damaging your speakers. So try this : disconnect all speaker wires at the amp. If you have a multi-meter or voltmeter, set it on DC...

That doesn't seem correct. The whole point of having the RCA inputs on the amp is to take in a low level signal and boost it up to a much higher level (amplify it) output which then would HAVE TO BE routed to the speaker wire outputs. RCA in to RCA out will not amplify the signal, this is more...

Interesting setup you have. My first thought is whether the xbox360 power supply is big enough to work. You would need 12 volts PLUS a lot of current (amps) to run your setup in the house. Look at the ratings for the xbox supply and verify it can supply, say 10 amps or so of 12V power. I suspect...

Not sure why you're trying to use RCA jacks for the bass shakes. You should be using speaker wire from the high level output of the subwoofer amp to the speaker input connectors on the bass shakes. Hookup like this : PC headphone audio output jack cable runs to line in RCA connectors on...

Alternative hook up = Sansui tape rec out to ADC line in, ADC line out back to Sansui tape play in. Then, ADC tape rec out to Phase Linear line in Phase line out back to ADC tape play in. TO USE : press tape monitor button on Sansui G6700 to hear the ADC with any source. Press tape monitor on...

in your case it sounds like under is better as setting the speaker for ear level when you are sitting makes sense. the speaker sound bar is somewhat directional so if it fires over your head you may lose some high end. try it either way and choose what sounds best to you while actually...

those Bose 10.2 's are good floor standing speakers. you should be able to run a pair of RCA style cables from the back of the tv where it says audio out to an AUX or tape input on your Hitachi preamp (don't use phono input) if your tv doesn't have audio out jacks then you could use the...

i don't think the ohms rating is a function of higher quality IF you can try out whichever headphones you are interested in and hopefully demo one pair against the other, then close your eyes and pick the pair that sound best TO YOU. that should be real easy to do. as far as the ohms rating goes...

250 is simple answer but it depends on the amp and the ohms rating for the speakers. IF you have a stereo ( 2 channel) amp with 1 speaker on each amp channel and the speakers each have the same ohms rating (say 8) then your available power is evenly split. But the actual power you are putting...

put your money into the better speakers. what you hear is the sound waves from the actual speaker not the electronics in the sound card so getting better sounding speakers is a better investment than upgrading the electronics. i believe you'd be better off with recording studio monitors than...

the output power specification on this looks pretty small so you'd be probably better off with a lower ohms rating for your headphones or powered headphones. demo a pair and see if you can get the sound you want without cranking the volume control all the way up

cheap amplified speakers can do this. your testing is valid. sounds like you may be describing noise from the subwoofer's built in amp. actually this is a good way to check your powered speakers because with a good system you should be able to do as you did with no input connected and there...
