Members Thumper Jack Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hery Guys, Probably a noob question but I had to ask. Recently I was given a pair of hi fi speakers with speaker wire like: I already have a PA system with two speakers and was wondering whether or not it was possible to somehow incorporate the hi fi speakers into my setup given that the output out of the speaker bins is for instrument cable/guitar lead. Any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps: generally Hi Fi speakers aren't any good for PA purposes, also don't use guitar leads for speaker level signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NUSound Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 All you really need to do is solder a 1/4' speaker connector on one end. Not sure why you'd want to though. What's the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jwlussow Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 Chances are very good that you will smoke those speakers. NUSound is correct. Just pick up a 1/4" speaker connector from RatShack and it should work. Either that or pick up a speaker cable with 1/4" connectors and cut off one end.

Members kevinnem Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 all things are possible, but not adviseable. keep the "hi fi" in your family room, and teh P Ain the garage, and never the 2 shale meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted October 2, 2009 Members Share Posted October 2, 2009 Efficiency and REAL power handling is not high enough on HI FI speakers for most uses. All that you are likely to end up with is damaged speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
