Where can I get a speaker power supply cable/adapter for JBL Platinum Series speakers?

Question by Darrell C: Where can I get a speaker power supply cable/adapter for JBL Platinum Series speakers?
Compaq Presario 5WV260 Desktop PC
Original system consisted of Compaq MV540 color monitor and JBL Platinum Series speakers. I now have an ACER X191W monitor and I want to use the JBL speakers I already have. I can’t seem to locate the power cable/adapter that came with the JBL speakers. I’ve been told by HP/Compaq to connect the audio connector to the backside of the PC (green port) and the speaker power cord to a wall socket. Any suggestions?

Is it okay to use cheap speakers with a sound surround Receiver?

Question by Thomas: Is it okay to use cheap speakers with a sound surround Receiver?
I just got my mom a sound surround receiver for her birthday, and wasn’t planning on getting any new speakers until xmas for her. But the guy at my future shop told me that if she where to use her cheap speakers that came with her dvd player, it would fry the Receiver? I just wanted to know if this was true, or if the guy was trying to milk more money from me?

The idiot sales guy is trying to get you to buy him a nice vacation in the Caribbean. You are more in danger of popping the speakers than you are in popping the receiver. Your plan is a good one. Get the main box now, get decent speakers later.

As for how careful to be with the volume, that depends. Multiply your per channel power by 1.25. If the speakers are that rating or above, you should be safe. At lower ratings, don’t crank it.

Which is this best model for base?????

Best answer:

Answer by Twisted_Ace
I assume you mean ‘bass’ (as in low frequency signals), rather than ‘base’ (as in the bottom of something)?

If you do mean bass, then go for the Creatures – even the hi-fi magazines reckon they are good!

I have the same truck. I just went down to a local audio store a put 4 basic alpines and a alpine amp. it cost around $ 600 and it sounded good but i had to add a sub cause those doors dont like to produce bass to much. then i changed the head unit to a clarion with a little more power and it made a big difference.. a different head unit and a sub will do some good

I connected my blu ray player to my surround sound system system with a fiber optic cable. The sound comes out great from most of my speakers – but the rear speakers do not have any sound. Help? I have a samsung dvr/surround sound system and it is connected to a samsung blu ray player.

Answer by gurrawar s
After you make sure all the connections on the back of the receiver are correct, check to see if the speaker wires are getting shorted, i.e. positive getting in contact with the negative.
The other thing you could check is if your config is 5.1 or 7.1, the blue ray, TV and receiver ( if any) are in surrond mode and not in stereo mode
