[QUOTE="Thorson, post: 193080"] Ok i tried this: Hooked the speaker wires up to a mini jack. No problems with playback, but as you said, it was really quiet. Then I took off the firewire plug to try this next thing: So I went to Radio Shack to get a 18 watt AC adapter (12 volt x 1500mA) because I found that the speakers need a combined 20 watts of power. Yes, I know 18 isn't 20, but it should still be close. Anyway, I tried hooking the power wires from the speakers to the AC adapter. Nothing happened. No amplification, no nothing. Seems illogical. Unless I did somethign wrong. How would I amplify the signal? The computer can't amplify it enough. [/QUOTE]
