lm386 speaker mod

[anthonyta]

whats up guys again. quick question because im about to do the speaker mod. i know already im gunna need 2 lm386 amps for each speaker (going to have 2) to keep the stereo.

question is. do i need to use the same resistors as the sound reactive led mod with the lm386 (191 & 33)?

or can i just do the mod without resisters

I tried this already with LM386, 191k, 33k resistors and it did not work. I hook it all up and instead of LEDs I used my speaker. The sound came out really fuzzy. I read that you will need to place a capacitor somewhere for this to work.

wait wait what?? are you guys thinking about the psp stalk speakers? no no im doing speakers as in 8ohm speakers that i had bought off ebay. that mean i still need the resistors?


wasn't there a dude that was gunna put up a tut like a long time ago? what ever happen with that? ahah i might wip one up once im done

I was talking about a large speaker wired to the LM386.

I was talking about a large speaker wired to the LM386.

so that means all these speaker mods that i have been seeing have just been direct connected? everyone is talking about using the lm386 amp. whats up with that? ahah ill just have to try it out myself then

[j.s2ghetto]

ya the LM386 isn't good for the speakers at least the way we wire it up
i have looked into it and i am going to try another amp but for now i am working on something else
