Alright, I was at a buddies of mine near Chicago, and I found a PA speaker in his house
Its one of those semi-big ones.. Has 2 wires coming off of it...
Does anyone know how I can wire it up? I was thinking about somehow putting it in my car (not mounted) just to mess around with.....
I get really, really bored.
im not sure if the OHMS would match up, but i'll move it to the audio forum so someone there could help
It's not made for a car specifically
Its an indoor/outdoor type :)
it should be 8 ohms... hook it up to an amp... wire it mono and it should make some noise.. make shur you have FULL PASS to it

Im a moron.. I didnt notice a digram on the bottom of it
How would I go about hooking up a microphone and stuff to it...?

ANSWER: Use my CB
<EDIT
Some cb radios have a pa out, makes it nice since it takes care of the mic and amp already for you. A long time ago when I was young and delinquent a friend of mine managed to "acquire" a rather large out door pa speaker. We put it under the hood of his chevy 1500 p/u and hooked it up to a cheap walmart cb. It made for hours of amusement and pissed plenty of people off.

lol... do that and play some music and turn the CB on and everyone can hear! lol

Music comes out like crap over a pa speaker.

Well...
I also have another PA speaker i got.. but this bitch wont fit under a hood.. hell it's about 4.5' tall
BIG ass one.. I have it on my stereo in my room and face it out my window if we have something going on outside
...or the hollywood sound effects cd of sirens, guns, helicopters works too
Naturally, since the frequency response is in the voice range, typically 1000-8000 Hz. It is not designed for music.Quote:

most pa speakers suck, i mean if youre looking for bass then you wont find it there. Also power handling is crazy low... alot of pa speakers only handle like 15w or so and the suspension (spider and surround) are much much stiffer than the stuff used for car audio...
Im not using this foir car audio
..im using this to be a dick
in that case go for it (i guess)
