hey everybody,
so here's my project...

I want to put my two 1,000 watt Yamaha passive PA speakers in my trunk and have them connected to the car's audio system.

So my plan...
-Put in an amp under the passenger's seat
-connect the PA speakers to the amp's RCA output with this patch cable

-now because the speakers are passive, they don't need an external power source, they can play without a power cable directly running through them

heres a diagram i drew.. lemme know if this will work
and soon! cause im lookin to buy the stuff shortly

 

Um, why this route?

 

because i don't know how else to do it?

 

I think the question is why do you want PA system speakers in your car?

Are you attempting to get the band back together?

 

x2 why the PA speakers?

 

because then i don't have to go out and buy new car speakers
not to mention that if i ever need them for some random reason, i have them in the trunk of my car

they sound great and use no external electricty
and lastly, they look badass

 

Seems like it might be a nice target for thieves. You can get new speakers for cheap....

 

ok..
can someone please just tell me if it will work?

 

As long as you can get an RCA male to 1/4 audio male you should be fine......











ridiculous, but fine

 

alright, thank you

 

You have to post pics and vids of this when your done...

and I sure hope that you can tune a stereo, other wise your just gonna blow the PAs, along with your ear drums...

 

hahaha
ill be sure to show ya'll when im done

 

I wish I was kidding...

And seeing as how you have your age here on the forum set at 16, I just wanted to throw a warning out there for ya...

not to call you young and dumb, we just have alot of that around here and due to the content of this thread, I wouldnt be surprised if that is the direction this thread went...

but hey... not my car/cash...

 

hmmm

so don't ask questions on the scion life forums?

and did it really set my age at 16?
strange, i never set my age on here nor am i 16

 

no by all means please ask questions...




just dont prove yourself young and dumb...



But I digress, good luck!

 

understood,
i will prove myself worthy of discussing other topics in the Xb genre

 

"Turn it up!!!"

 

our ish goes up to eleven!

 

I just don't think it will sound very good... PA speakers aren't designed to operate in such an enclosed environment. By the time you turned them down low enough for them to not be painful to listen to, you're not going to be giving them enough power and it's not gonna sound right.

 

a few Q's
#1 what amp are U planning?
#2 factory H/U ?
I ask Because factory other than 08 HU has only High LVL output and second I have never seen a car amp With power out as RCA the RCA's are normally lo LVL input NOT output, the output usually are Banana or wire under the screw type
+ the tonal range on most PA speeker's are not that wide +
if it is 8 Ohm and most auto amps want 2 - 6 ohm max that could cause low power output from amp plus premiture failure of amp
