[QUOTE="Thorson, post: 191437"] Ok, I have a set of G4 speakers, the Apple Pro ones, (I'm a tech guy at a school) that need to be modified for use in a regular Mac (ie non-G4). Obviously the plug won't work with a normal 3.5mm mini socket, so I'm thinking about splicing the cord apart and making it go into a regular 3.5mm mini and a Firewire plug to supply the power. However, I don't know what voltage the speakers require. I'm thinking it's 30v because the now-discontinued Griffin iFire used Firewire for power (at least, I think it used it for power), which is also 30v (without a load). Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
