isnt it possible to take altec lansing surround sound computer speakers (sub and 5 speakers) and put into car?

Question

just using an AC to DC inverter to power the sub/speakers... im not gonna doing this just wondering if it is possible - then just plug the green sound plug into the AUX input on my car radio..
how much power would this draw?

Answer 1

Umm, no it won't work. The AUX would have to be an output, not an input.

Otherwise it will work.

Answer 2

You mean DC to AC inverter.See what DC output voltage is to your speaker system is first,you may be able to get rid of the transformer.The speaker system is DC voltage so it would not be a problem to do it .Your current draw would be based on the total wattage of the speaker system.Take the output wattage of the speaker system and divide by 12 volts,that will give you the DC amperage.Always buy an inverter larger than what you need,if you run the inverter at 100% it will fail early.

Answer 3

That would work, but you would need a 100 watt invertor, But you can't put the sound plug into the aux input, you need an output. Really this isn't worth the trouble.

Answer 4

while this is possible with the right equipment and knowledge the way you describe however will not work because the speaker would have no signal when you plug it to the aux port...it accepts a signal not able to send signal

Answer 5

or you dont even need a power cable, just wire the altec speakers directly to your regular car speaker wiring...it will work the same, but might not sound as loud unless you have an amp

Answer 6

its possible but you need to hook it to your rca outs not your aux in and one last thing why in the hell would you do this trust me from my own experience half assing in car stereo is a bad idea and i never did anything this crazy
