Apple Pro Speakers for Home Theater Center

I made a box to convert two sets of Apple Pro Speakers to run as my center channel for my home theater. Man, it sounds way good too!

I thought that those Apple Pro speakers were powered (thats what that annoying outer housing is on the connector). I don't understand how (or if) you are powering them in your converter?

Clever use of the G4 motherboard components. Plenty of those lying around now.

Yeah i tested them out with just reg amp power before I started the build, and they sounded fine. So when the build was finished I was very happy with the results. I have about 100w going to the center channel, and they do great. I think I did turn down the db on the amp for the center though, other wise they would distort, form too much power.

they're all cruddy, until they run on light power they're totally boring. all those wires running around the room = crass

My setup is quiet simple. I have only two wires running to the speakers and I use them as my Center Channel for my Home Theater.

i bought an exact pair at a thrift store today and tried to connect them to my ipod and it doesn't fit ...i was thinking about wiring on a different plug in place of the current one ....any suggestions as to where i can buy a premade one like ebay or something?
