Will this work with my speakers?
So I bought these speakers from eBay,
http://www.ebay.com/...0552581662
not knowing I need a receiver to play music from it. I'm now stuck with these and I don't want to spend more money buying a receiver.
Can someone please explain to me if there's another way to play music from these speakers? The only thing I really want to do with these speakers is connect my iPhone to play music from it.
You bought a PA speaker, not one designed for home listening.
Let me guess - you spotted the "500 WATT" and thought it sounded powerful?
Did you know that speakers are MOTORS and they consume power?
You need an amplifier of some type to take the tiny/weak audio signals and convert them to speaker level.
Those speakers are designed for PA work, not home use so I suspect even if you did buy a used AV Receiver or stereo it will not work.
Put them back on ebay/Craigslist.
I know it is hard for a guy - but ask questions around here or other sites before you purchase. We can probably steer you away from these mistakes.
You need a power amplifier of some sort, period.
You should get an amplifier of a couple hundred watts RMS per channel.
OMG, could you have bought anything gaudier that that? OK I was young once and maybe I might have, in a complete lapse of judgement buy those myself. However, older and wiser now I try to do a bit of research before I click "buy it now'.
Anyways, back to your problem. In order for those speakers to work with your iphone you need an amp. Does it have to be and expensive one? No it does not. I think something like this would work for you.
- Will my iPhone 5 adapter work with my speakers? I got an iPhone 5 adapter and I tried plugging it into my speakers and even though it says its charging, the music won't come out of the speakers, and that's happened for every device i've tried to use it with.Am I doing something wrong, or do I have to go out and buy a whole new speaker?
- Why won't the speakers on my iphone 4 work? I just updated my iphone4 to ios 5 and it seemed really cool at first but then i tried listening to music through the speakers on my iphone and nothing would come out, it only works with headphones, help? Also can i get siri with this new update?
- Why won't the speakers work for my iPhone? I have an iPhone 4 and after the 6.0.1 update, the speakers stopped working; I checked everything, nothing was out of place. However, when I plug in my headphones, the speakers work perfectly. What's wrong with it and is anyone else experiencing this?
- Sound in iPhone 5 speakers do not work? Just asked this question but i have found out more information. Okay so my phone speakers were working earlier but now they are not. Just bought it not even 5 hours old. They do not work, they were working on youtube but now they are not working on any app, siri, or even when calling i can't hear the other person. However, plugging in my headphones i can hear through the headphones. Does anyone know if this is just a firmware problem, or is it defective?
