I would like to take one of my 2-way car speakers rated @ 4OHMs and put it inside a small enclosure and turn it into a bluetooth speaker. Case : 11.5 inches wide X 8 inches tall X 3 inches depth Speaker: Rockford Fosgate I'm a little worried about power consumption since it is a car speaker. I don't know how much battery life I could be expecting or what kind of battery I would need to have for such a small enclosure A few of questions... Would I need a crossover for a single two-way speaker? or do they have them built in? or do amplifiers have crossovers built in? Can I bridge a two-channel amp rated @ 4 ohms to a single 4 ohm speaker? or would that damage something? Has anyone done something similar, like made their own boombox or something? | ||

In terms of headphones, the HD 598 are the most comfortable you're going to find. Not super portable, but reeeeally comfortable and well-fitting. Good balance overall. | ||

I'd need help from specialists here. A couple of days ago, the right headphone from my SRH440 stopped working completely (left one works flawlessly). Since I'm no techie, I have no reason why and how to fix the problem (if possible) I unscrewed the lid and took a pic of the wiring : ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/BGYWlTC.jpg) No wire seems to be unplugged (I pulled them a bit to doublecheck, they seemed tight).... My setup is pretty simple (and has been the same one for years), I got a kenwood external amp linked to my pc. The headphone jack goes in the amp through the front panel "phones" input. Any idea what I might have to do to fix this ? | ||

So I own a Steelseries 5Hv2, and my mic has always been incredibly quiet (had it about 9 months). Even with levels up to max and mic boost on, I can still only just be heard by other people. This was manageable though. Nothing wrong with being a bit quiet. However me and a friend are now recording things/thinking about steaming, so obviously I need to be a bit louder and more clear. So either, what can I do to improve my current microphone? Or can anyone recommend a good microphone or headset with microphone that would be decent for recording and streaming that isn't stupidly expensive? Thinking something between £20-£50. Thanks! | ||

Basically, I want something that is high quality, but offers absolutely no noise cancellation/noise isolation. This is because I'm currently living in Thailand, and use my headphones while I'm driving my motorcycle for navigation. I need to be able to hear the cars around me, but at the same time I want something nice and not the cheap crap I'm using now. I'm having difficulty finding something like that on the internet. When I do searches for good earbuds (with heads like this), I find lots of results for reviews for stuff with heads like this, which is absolutely not what I want. Needs to be compatible with android and have a built in mic and volume buttons. Any suggestions? | ||
