psp339 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 31, 2008, 05:51:48 PM »

i just tried it with LM386 wired using the diagram i drew. it works but the sound quality is horrible. It has more bass than parallel speaker connection though. i just wired it back in parallel.

Tec_ · « **Reply #12 on:** January 31, 2008, 07:51:53 PM »

a filter cap would solve that problem

redryno1221 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 31, 2008, 09:26:23 PM »

So then where would the filter cap go in the circuit....are there any other caps we need to know about to do this mod???

CrkPyro · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2008, 08:00:12 AM »

a coupling capacitor is to block dc voltages going to the speaker. it would go in between the lm386 and the speaker just like in the diagram or between the speaker and ground if you really wanted to(not the best choice).

Where can I get that 100 uf capacitor?
EDIT: I found some 100uF capacitors but how many volts do I choose?

i found this in a walky talky it a 6.3v

psp339 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 26, 2008, 12:47:06 AM »

I saw some 6v on mouser. I'm gonna order one next time I get some LEDs.
Thanks

lol dude so sorry but i only get motivated to mod my stuff when am bored XD and last nite i look at my 3000$ R/C drifter and am like i want it to have a cool sound system! But how will this mini mp3 power 2 3watt 8ohm speaker
so i toke the same LM386 setup , i toke appart 1 of my walky talky find a 100uF 6.3v cap wired it up and BAM the Buzzing was gone! and i had a sick ass rc car =) ill post a videa later of it

anthonyta · « **Reply #24 on:** June 27, 2008, 03:22:10 PM »

i have a 100uF 10v capacitor will that work?

crashman2k7 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 27, 2008, 04:24:28 PM »

well try to match the amouth ur giving it
so if ur using 5v use a 5v
if ur using a 9v battery use a 9v lol

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #26 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:48:24 AM »

Where can u find these LM386. Can i find them in radios or something...

Jumbo · « **Reply #27 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:34:51 AM »

How dont you know what a LM386 is?

If you really done know then wow........

Get them at radioshack there like 2$

Oh and Another Random Bump?

Stop bumping old things randomly....

DubbleDutch · « **Reply #28 on:** August 01, 2008, 05:40:18 AM »

Stereo (just put a speaker where the Leds are)

Mono (just put a speaker where the Leds are)

anthonyta · « **Reply #29 on:** August 01, 2008, 09:50:18 AM »

so the 5v and ground goes to the speaker output on the mobo instead, correct? isn't where you put the speakers the input to the lm386? that would make everything go backwards. it still amplifies?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #30 on:** August 01, 2008, 01:02:05 PM »

Yea i do know what it is just didnt kno where to get them.

Yea i know the pics and all that already i just needed to kno where to get them..

Jumbo · « **Reply #31 on:** August 01, 2008, 09:54:38 PM »

LOL um

Radioshack

Local Electonic Store?

IDK I get mine from the shack

DrgnSlyr · « **Reply #32 on:** August 02, 2008, 02:52:48 PM »

Can somebody explain to me why would I use LM386 and not connect LEDs to Speakers directly ?

you get a better result with the lm386

DrgnSlyr · « **Reply #34 on:** August 02, 2008, 03:33:00 PM »

if i paralleded 4 LEDs to where the LED is connected, will they work fine? no brightness decrease?

Jumbo · « **Reply #35 on:** August 02, 2008, 04:51:17 PM »

I just find it funny that someone that has 200 posts doesn't know where to get a LM386......

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #38 on:** August 03, 2008, 09:49:03 PM »

dude i just got back into this like a month ago .... i havent been on for the like 3 months ahead of that so give me a break..

try this...
http://www.vakits.com/product_info.php?cPath=43&products_id=321

it has all the parts you need to do the job plus the LM386. and even some LED's. its only $7.99. plus 5$ for s&h. this is what i bought

Jumbo · « **Reply #40 on:** August 12, 2008, 01:15:42 PM »
