Yamaha Stereo Speakers

thats what it looks like. all it has on the back is the red and black thing shown in the pic. It does not look like a port to me, and i dont know how to use it.
the red and black thing is not like a regular port. it does not fit in flushly at all.

The red and black connections are for speaker wire, and there will be corresponding red and black connectors on the back of the amplifier/receiver. Speaker wire, whatever the colour, has one plain coloured wire and one with a black stripe. This is how you use the connectors.

Bare the ends of both wires, take off about 8-10mm of the plastic cover and twist the bare end of each wire so you don't get any strands of wire sticking out. Take the plain coloured wire and hold down the little red tab on the back of the speaker. Push the bare end of the plain coloured wire into the little hole just above the tab. Let go of the tab. It will spring back up and hold the bare part of the wire tightly. Make sure that there are no strands of bare wire hanging out. Now do the same with the wire which has the black stripe. Put that into the black connector on the speaker.

Now connect the other ends of the wires to the amplifier in exactly the same way - plain colour to red, striped wire to black.

By the way, that's a very fine pair of speakers you have there, even by today's standards.

Price: $99.95

Acoustic-suspension design for clear sound and taut, controlled bass response
One pair of 2-way indoor/outdoor speakers
Each speaker measures 5.41 x 10.125 x 6.16 inches (W x H x D)
120 watts maximum power capacity, 35 watts nominal
5-inch high-compliance, polypropylene, mica-filled woofer and .5-inch PEI dome tweeter; magnetically shielded and water resistant

I realize home speakers have an impeadance of 8 ohms and car speakers are usually 4 ohms. I was just curious if it would work; because I have some Yamaha home speakers that have busted cabinets. I have a nice home theater system and have no home use for these speakers but I could really use some high end in my car. These speakers of course have built in crossovers in each cabinet. Any advice would be helpful, except "go buy some 4 ohm tweeters", I am in nursing school so money is too tight for that. Thanks.

Keep in mind that you're adding load to your head unit which may cause it to get hotter....

Your system won't mean squat without a well designed box to put your subs in. Some manufacturers have recommendations as to dimensions of various types of boxes. It is best to find someone who builds boxes if you go with something other than a sealed box.

You should always match up RMS (Root Mean Square) watts of Subs and amp per channel as well as impedance's(resistances). When a sub has rating of 600 Watts MAX it really has an RMS rating of about 200 Watts RMS. RMS is the nominal wattage your most likely going to get out of it. Remember, a 200 Watts RMS amplifier has more power output than a 200 Watt MAX.


If your amp is rated at 4Ω don't subject it to 2Ω, it will fry.

Here is the formula for subs in parallel:

Z = 1 / (1/sub1 + 1/sub2 + 1/sub3 + ....)

For series, just add them up (sub1 + sub2 + ...).

You can mix and match these equations to get the right impedance required by your amp.

Example 1: Amp is 2 channel and rated at 4Ω, 4 subs @ 4Ω each. If I connect two in parallel and the other two in parallel and connect the two pairs in series, I would have a total impedance(resistance) of 4Ω. So to the amp, it's just one sub.

Example 2: Amp is rated at 1Ω mono, 2 subs @ 4Ω each dual voice coil. If I connect two voice coils in parallel and the other two voice coils in series and connect the two subs in parallel, I would have a total impedance of 1.6Ω. Which would be perfect for a 1Ω stable mono amp.

You should use a capacitor as well.

Recommend for every 500 watts MAX you use a .5 Farad cap
Example: 1000 watts MAX - 1 Farad cap

You will also need what's called a "line level converter" if your stock head unit doesn't have RCA outputs or your amp doesn't have high-level inputs.

Try http://www.soundomain.com/shop you can find some really good deals, and this site is manufacturer certified. VERY IMPORTANT WHEN SHOPPING ON-LINE!!!

If you like I can send you some plans for reference. My plans are for a 4-th order band-pass bass box (A.K.A. bass-reflex) that holds two 12's.

Also included are java calculators you can use to figure parallel and series values given Ω values, tips on box building and types, calculating port diameter and length(if used), calculating box dimensions for types of boxes (sealed, wedge, cylindrical, etc.), materials needed and even how to make a jig for cutting perfect holes for your subs.

My system

Blaupunkt TSw1200 subs with a Sony Xplōd XM2200GTX.
My amp is 1200 watts (200 Watts RMS X 2), subs are 600 watts (200 Watts RMS) each, cap is 1.5 Farad

SPL is about 112 db each sub

Total cost(so far) = $410

I will be playing my keyboard during a funeral service, but the inbuilt speakers are rubbish. Will i be able to connect any normal hi-fi or PA speakers through the jack? And will i get a stereo sound?

Thanks
Just checked the specs in my manual, it has an inbuilt amp, 2.5w + 2.5w but i guess that is only powerful enough for the inbuilt speakers?

If you want to use your keyboard through your stereo, here's how to do it cheaply... Does your keyboard have an earphone socket? Does your stereo have a spare red/white phono socket?
You will need a lead with a earphone plug at one end & a red/white phono plugs at the other end (Your local electrical dealer will make you one up)? Just plug the earphone end into your keyboard & then the red & white phono plugs into your stereo. That's it Make Sure The Volume Is Turned Low Before You Press Any Keys... Hope this helps!

I have one stereo/speaker system in my family room (Yamaha AV receiver RX-V661) and the other stereo/speaker system (Sony FM Stereo/FM-AM Receiver STR-D665) is upstairs in my bonus room. There are no wires between these two systems. I also want 2 sets of wireless speakers for my deck and sun room. When I have a party, I want all of them to play the same songs from my PC media server. Is this possible?

Great question Suzy- I'm trying to figure out the same.
But I'm finding that it's simplest to do it all wireless. So Split the media server OUT signal to wirelessly xmit to both stereos..→the wireless party speakers system already came with wireless signal thrower from the PC right. ? so your server OUT signal must split to 4 .
► 2 stereos and the 2 wireless. good luck-
