Have been searching for a good set of speakers for my PC for a while but after a long search and no results… I’ve decided to use car speakers. Always seen them as good quality and provide the right amount of bass I’m looking for. Not a big PC gamer; just for the music.
I’ve got a fairly basic Sound Card - just the one that came with the PC. So not sure what effects this will have on sound, and whether I will need to upgrade?
This is the Plan…
I’ll firstly buy a “Y” cable with a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack to 2 RCA phono plugs. These will connect the PC to a Car Amp (1000W). That’s where I buy the Amp, I’ll need a 12V AC power adaptor as they were originally intended for cars. Now I have the Amp powered and connected to the PC all I need to do is connect the Car Speakers and Sub, Right?
Buy some seperates, car audio is not that good quality, especially the car subs, whats your budget? sure its gonna be cheaper to buy a car sub and build an enclosure for it, but your going to need a propor HT plate amp for the sub aint you?
Good PC speakers are the Logitech Z5500, the 10" sub is preety powerfull for a PC Speaker setup, capable of shaking stuff up preety good :p, its around 180-200 quid at the moment.
When u setup a car stereo system…u require 3 types of speakers…
1 for High Frequency Sound - Tutors
2nd For Medium frq sound - Speakers
3rd for Low freq sound - Woofers/subs
and to get the best output of the whole system you requires atleast two Amps…1 for your internal speakers/tutors and 1 for your Sub…
Then you get good quality sound…And if you want whole this thing with your computer to listen music, it will cost you heaps…more than 1500 Bucks, if u go with the good ones…
One easy option is as willz stated in his post, buy multimedia speakers..Other is if you have a stereo system at your home then check at its back side if you can do RCA input to it… Buy a 3.2mm audio wire to RCA converter cable and hook ur pc with that System…
If you still wanna go car subs too, I think 2 Alpine Type R 12" 500W rms subs will be good, I think there around £105 each and seem to be amazing for the priuce they are.
