Rig an iPhone to old speakers?
I have no idea if this is possible or not, but I've tried and failed enough times that I figured it's time to ask. A pair of JVC speakers from about 1990 with positive and negative terminals on each + old Sony headphones stripped to reveal the wires + phone = music somehow?
The iphone doesn't put out enough current by itself to drive the speakers. They require considerably more power than headphone speakers do.
But you can do it with a small amplifier. Most electronic audio stores should have something like that.
Sure, you just need to put an amplifier in between. The headphone jack is line-level which is far too weak to power an audio speaker.
- Would my iphone or speakers blow? During tech in school i made speakers which are very very loud. That to keep the volume stop from blasting my ears i have to leave it on half-full on the iphone. I connect the external speakers i made to my iphone and i was wondering because its so loud. If i play very loud music through it would my iphone blow out. I have a feeling that my speakers will as they are tiny but would my iphone get damaged because of it.
- What can I do with my old pair of speakers? I have this set of speakers that are very quiet. I would use them for my iPhone 4 but my iPhone 4 is at least twice as loud. My laptop is at least five times louder. I want to take the speakers apart and do something cool with maybe the magnet and wires and any other part of the speaker. Does anybody have some suggestions? It would be great if you provided steps for how to do something.
