Hey guys, gals, and other? 8O ,
I am working on mounting speakers on my handlebars. I shopped around for some ready made ones and found that they are ridiculously expensive. The cheapest amplified speakers I found cost around $400! I thought I would try some home engineering and see what I could come up with. I found that most computer speakers run on DC out of a wall-wart. So I bought a 5 dollar pair of amplified computer speakers and dismantled them. I am still experimenting and will post updates as I go. The 12 watt amp from the speakers is audible, but just barely. I am going to try daisy chaining two of them to see what happens. This is an early breadboard stage project, but I will keep you updated and if anyone has any input, feel free to speak up.
