hello! has anyone ever tried to put computer speakers in a car? im trying to figure out how to put these speakers http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2,CONTENTID=5048

into my 99 gt...my theory is that i should get an inverter to cover the power supply portion..but then how would i run it to my deck?..if anyone has tried it, or knows anyone that has pulled it off please let me know!!!

Yeha, my buddy actually did this in a corsica he had, before he crashed it...
he mounted the speakers with duct tape and velcro. And used my power inverter to run the system, then just ran driectly from a cd walkman. I must say, the system sounded like shit though..be prepared...and they were creative top of the line 5.1 speakers...sound much better on desktops.

Why would you want to do that?
1- That's a dumb idea!
2- That's a dumb idea!

I would imagine that your stereo has too much power to push computer speakers and probably sound like shit! To each is own.

Good Luck!

Probably wants to save money instead of getting real Car Audio Speakers :(

I'm with MARS on this one. It doesn't make any sense, just save the money your looking on investing into the computer speakers and put it towards a nice clear crisp sounding system. In the long run you'll be more satisfied .

i was curious to see if it would be possible..and i messed around with them and the speakers i have are more powerful than the alpines i wanted to get, and i hooked up just one speaker, and it sounded pretty good. its ghetto as hell..but interesting

i'm not going to pretend that i understand the science of acoustics and sound, but i do know that certain speakers are designed for different things. car speakers are for cars, when i got my system i set it up in my room and it sounded like shit. i've also tried to listen to a boom box in a car with no stereo and that also sounded terrible. i wouldn't do it man.
