Amplifying chip on stock speakers
« on: March 24, 2008, 01:54:45 PM »
Currently the speakers in the psp seem too quiet, so I considered hooking up an lm386 IC chip to then. Would this be practical, and how much of an improvement would result? Would it be too much? (I dont want to blow the speakers)

Wouldn't recomend it since they are already set up to get the max result out of those speakers, adding a lm386 would only make the speakers blow, or shorten the lifespan of them extremly.

*Fufa is right, why dont you just buy some slightly more powerfully speakers that auctualy can take the wattage from the amp ic.

They are right. I remember reproducing movies with irshell ( i don't know if nowadays it is possible) but you could set a volume a lot higher than in the XMB, but when i did that it was very clear that the basses saturated the speakers. Though it could be that what was being saturated was the amplifiers of the sound card.

Hey noob just throwing it out there. What if you hooked the lm386 to the headphone jack. how much louder would it make it? would it still have goo sound quality. cuz Ipods get way louder than psps through the jack.
