Sub and Amp to PC!!!

[PCTweaker5]

I just removed my sub and amp from my car because it needs a new engine and I was wondering if there was any way that I could connect that to my PC speakers. It may sound kind of weird but I dont want it just sitting there not being used and since my friend had several subs and amps connected to his stereo system I figure it can be done here too. Thanks!!!

Not exactly highly technical, but.....

You'll need a high amperage DC voltage source. You can get one from Radioshack for $60 (10 amp I believe). Now, run a line-out from your sound card to the line in on the amp. Done.

If your line-out cuts your speaker output off, then you'll need to splice a wire from the speaker out of the sound card to the speaker IN on your amp. If your amp does not have a speaker in, you may be out of luck in this case.

Some sound cards have a .1 channel - if yours does that is the "line out" to go to the subwoofer.

im pretty sure my friend didnt have one of those since he is quite the dumbass, is there any other way to connect it?

you can run like 5 PC power supplies in parallel to get enough amperage...

I used an old computer power supply to power an old Pioneer head unit. I just used the speaker outs and hooked up a couple 6x9s. It was kind of cool. I sold the headunit, but forgot to take out a Tupac CD. Damn it. 😀
