How can i connect my 6x9 inch speakers to my laptop?

[guywithquestions]

I have 2 Alpine 6x9 inch coaxial 3 way speakers with 120 watts peak and 30 watts RMS clearly made for a car but i dont want to put them in my car. instead id like to be able to use them as speakers for my computer and connect them to a headphone jack so i can plug them into any computer. what materials and methods do i need and is this even possible?

its possible but difficult because you would have to get a couple of custom adapters, (make your self or have specially made) and even then it wouldnt sound good unless you bought also made or bought custom 6x9s that were meant for the kind of application and came with the appropriate software

i really dont think this is possible if it was possible i would call the company and ask them and they should be able to help you or u can go to a local radio shack and they would be glad to help you at that is what they r there for

You could do it, but you'd need an external amplifier to run the speakers. The output of the headphone jacks on most computers/sound cards usually only outputs like 1.5watts etc. And most speakers for Desktops or ones that you connect to a laptop have built in amplifiers.

The other issue at hand is that the speakers have some strong magnets. So you would need to build an enclosure that would not allow the magnets to leave the enclosure so you won't do damage to the laptop/desktop's hard drivers or any magnet media that comes into contact with the speakers(Floppy disks, hard drivers, tape drive media etc...)
