I have a computer providing the audio output, and already have a variety of speakers around the showroom. Am wondering how to get the same audio to play in all the speakers? Half the room’s speakers already have wire running to the computer area – the other half don’t. Is there a way to set up a receiver by the computer, and then have another wireless receiver set up on the other side of the showroom to connect the other speakers to?
Thanks in advance for any help!
that’s easy just get a stereo amplifier – around 100w per channel and a 3.5mm stereo plug to 2 x rca plugs lead and plug the 3.5mm plug into your computer and the 2 x rca plugs into the amplifiers aux or cd input then connect the speakers on one side of the showroom to the amplifiers left speaker output and connect the other speakers on the other side to the amplifiers right speaker output then turn the amplifier on and select cd or aux input then turn up the volume on the amplifier

I was researching 2 cars and I saw that performance speakers were and option as to regular speakers are standard.Is performance speakers better?Can you hear the bass with performance speakers like if it was a sound system?
Sound quality is the difference.
I have a couple of Polk Audio bookshelf speakers that I’m trying to use with a new Onkyo TX-SR504 receiver. When I try to play a DVD or a CD after a while the speakers cut out.
Onkyo tech support said either my speaker wire or my speakers have a short. After trying new speaker wire, and connecting the speakers individually, the sound still cuts off after anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. So, I guess the speakers have shorted…
I’m not very savvy with electricity or electronics. Just curious how the speakers may have short-circuited so I can avoid it in the future.
Also just seeking a second opinion. Does it sound like my speakers short-circuited? Onkyo tech support said if the receiver was the problem, I wouldn’t hear any sound at all.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks all for your suggestions and ideas… can’t believe how complicated this all is. But I will try to do some troubleshooting this weekend!
Thanks again.
thanks to everyone who gave their advice. it was *all* useful… going to be tough to pick a best answer.
As for the receiver, I’ve decided to return it and try a new one. Everything seems to point to the Onkyo, particularly after the heat, wiring, and other knowledge shared here.
Thanks again.
Perhaps someone can correct me if I am wrong but although it is common to experience a short circuit in speaker wire it is not very common to have a short circuit in the speakers themselves. A short circuit occurs in an audio system when positive and negative charges meet, interrupting the way the current was supposed to flow and causing an undesirably high current flow from the amplifier. This usually happens when the positive and negative wires touch at either speaker or amplifier terminals. It is possible for there to be a short circuit inside of a speaker but if this is the problem it can be repaired. I would check to make sure you have no exposed positive and negative wires touching (not even a little!). The Onkyo tech should have advised you as to how to isolate the problem. You should try some other speakers with the receiver and try the speakers on a different receiver. A possible source of your problem could be that the receiver cannot drive a 4 ohm load. Many Polk bookshelf speakers have a 4 ohm impedance. Eight ohms is the norm and the lower 4 ohm impedance causes the amplifier to work harder. Some receivers can only drive a 4 ohm speaker for a limited time before overheating and going into protect mode (no output). I would expect, however, your Onkyo to have no trouble with a pair of 4 ohm bookshelf speakers. As for the Onkyo tech…I am sure Onkyo has a very skilled staff, but I am also sure that standard procedure is to get customers to look at every other possible source of a problem before concluding the source of their problem is in the Onkyo product. Unless one of the experienced techs that sometimes answer questions here rules out the receiver as a possible source of trouble I would not assume that all is well with your receiver until you have checked to see if your speakers cause a similar problem with a different receiver.
I thought hard disk speakers looked cool so I’ve made one.
the hdd which I’ve used is an old Seagate (631mb capacity – yeah.. Really old.)
Don’t do this with new/good hdd’s because once you open that drive’s case, you can’t expect to use it as a storage drive anymore.
“hard disk speakers” are nothing more than eye candy. they sound pretty crap and you need an amplifier to work it. they’re quite easy to make though.. – if you have a dead hdd lying around, might as well play around with it =D

It seems like the speakers "jolt" to life only when the volume level crosses a certain threshold. (About 40 to 50% of max volume.) Once the speakers come to life, the volume can be lowered again, and they continue work until I turn off the amp. I never noticed this before moving into my new place. I’ve tested different speakers and even a different tuner/amp. Could it be the speaker cable? The runs aren’t that long – no more than 10 to 25 feet.
That’s beacause, if you have a tune of particularly demanding bass then the subwoofer in each speaker can’t produce any noise untill cranked above the level you’re talking about.
The speakers will be producing noise, just maybe under the the humans hearing range (20hz-2Mhz), however, when cranked above, it enters the hearing range and allows you to do this.
The only solution I can think of is to turn off all bass EQ’s (equilisers) and turn on any treble EQ’s.
This may not work, if not, you’ll just have to buy another set of speakers, or live with your problem.
Whenever I’m on the computer, the computer speakers start making all this hissing sounds right before my cell-phone starts to ring. They speakers also make a lot of noise right before getting a text message.
Sometimes the speakers start making noise, but my phone doesn’t ring. Then after a while I get a call on my homephone or cellphone, and people tell me they were calling me, but got no answer.
What’s the deal with my speakers?
This is normal, it is called EMI, Electro-Magnetic Interference. Your cell phone is a transmitter, if it too close to your speakers/wiring, the speaker’s amplifier is amplifying your cell phone’s transmission and you hear it through your speakers as noise. Move your phone away from the computer.

For example, if you have rear deck, front, and rear door speakers, does that mean you should buy six speakers? If you don’t, do you shut off the power to the speakers you don’t replace or continue to use them?
start with the front speakers they are the ones you hear the most
