how much would this cost

[Jedrokivich]

lol "common sence"

[gelvenchief]

i like this idea a lot but I have been trying to find a way to have a more advanced sound system in a bag. The places that i would be using the speakers are loud enough that just regular computer speakers wouldn't be loud enough. any ideas?

Is it possible to OVER charge?

[zim0909]

if your talking about batteries then definitely. There are many things that influence how long to charge batteries for but for a general rule, stop charging if the battery gets warm. P.S. don't leave batteries charging unattended

Solder them to what?

[limey_cricket]

I'm sorry; this step is a little unclear to me and I had a few questions. I'm using a set of computer speakers and I've opened them up. The "main" speaker has a cord coming out that connects to the computer. Do I just cut off the connector at the end and strip the wire? And um...WHAT exactly do I solder the wires to? (Noobish person over here! XD)
