Using DELL computer speakers with the car radio??

hi there

computer speakers need a direct power supply aswell, not just connection of "sound wiring"
you could do this by connecting to cars power supply, but why bother when you can buy a good set of car speakers reasonably cheap anyway

No you can't really do this as the Dell speakers will plug into a headphone socket, which is only a low power output. If you hook into the normal speaker output from a car radio, which is a high power output you can blow the amp in the Dell speakers. On decent car stereo, you will have an Aux output which you could use, or some you can change the speaker outputs from high to low, both these options are used to hook into and amp.

I assume your radio is old and doesn't have an jack input for MP3 players etc.

We recently upgraded our car radio and now run a wired link from the laptop to the car radio. It is great, as the volume from the laptop navigating software was way to low to hear in a fast moving 4WD.

No problems hearing the information or music stored on our laptop. Beats installing extra speakers.
