TS, u need to describe more...what do u mean by PC speaker?

just take out the speaker from casing or with the casing?(AC powered), and what type of speaker? 2 channel normal 6ohm speaker, or sub woofer type?

most PC speaker is 6ohm, same like home theatre system...so they were not suitable for car (ICE speaker is 4ohm).

but if u wanna use the whole system which is mean powered by AC,
yes u can use it, but u have to use power inverter DC to AC...

ok

actually u can use 6ohm speakers in car, even 8 ohm also can, only thing is u get less power from the amp... but as long as the power meets the rms requirement for the speaker, then its ok

i meant the whole computer system put in my car powering by AC powered but not connected to my car audio, im using IPOD to run the songs. For the power inverter i know someone is selling here but only have 1 output, looking for those with multiple input at least 2-3 input.

There's a big difference in sound quality going from open air vs inside the car environemnt. I suggest you try out by dragging a long extension cord put the speakers in your car and try it out without the car moving.
