sigh...maybe some of you read my thread before abt putting pc speaker in car....

yes i did it, but the bass was a true letdown to me

so i want to ask all sifus over here...

example i have this 2.1 system and i add another subwoofer
will it be more powerful or same?
or it depends on the amp can power the other subwoofer or no
or will be worse than 1 subwoofer

coz the stock rear speaker can produce more bass -.-....
wires are all check and connected properly
pls advise....

TBH ur room and ur is a different acoustic
so it's hard to produce the same effect
moreover the PC subwoofer is just a puny mid-bass so it can't replace a true subwoofer

if u wan bass, neva try pc speakers. I've tried once last time, putting a mini compo in my trunk. It has great bass at home, but in the car it's like damn... waste of time. A car should use car speakers, not home audio.

this is because the power voltage of our home audio is HIGH power which come from electronic socket...hehe.while car audio power voltage is low to high, just a battery..

not true at all. Car amps are optimise to run and receive power @ 12V-14.4V. Idle car voltage is @ 13.8V. Even if u move ur car amps to home, u will need an AC-DC converter. 240V into car amp will just burn ur amp.

exactly and that's why home audio system and pc audio system would never work in a car's upgraded ICE system let alone a standard setup...

you just do not have enough power to power up the bass...
