I'm a bit confused... eh, I'll get over it

[killerjackalope]

Not a bad concept and pretty decent looking, just needs amplification for the speakers...

[Srgnt. MuffinBottom]

What do you and spoonty mean by and amp or adding amplification?

[killerjackalope]

For the bigger speakers, you need to amplify the power coming from the MP3 to get proper sound and to avoid blowing the tiny amp meant for powering headphones...

[Srgnt. MuffinBottom]

How can I do something like that though? I seriously have no clue lol.

[killerjackalope]

do a search for portable amps on 'ibles, loads of instruction, many with full circuit schematics for the amps... Basically the circuit takes the audio signal and amplifies it by repeating it at higher voltage and amperage to power big speakers...

[Srgnt. MuffinBottom]

Wow thanks and thanks for your help. =)

[killerjackalope]

No worries, the easiest thing to do really is take prebuilt low power computer speakers and run them off batteries, don't follow the 'ible that was made recently, I'll be finishing a nice one soon...

I like #2 a lot better. Maybe you should put a dock in...instead of sitting your iPod on a headphone jack.

[Srgnt. MuffinBottom]

Thats actually a better idea thanks, ill get working on that soon.
