eighteentee Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi all, Anyone know how to 'butcher' some Apple Pro speakers to work on a G5? I've seen something called iFire by Griffin but at £120 it's a bit on the steep side! These speakers are really cool and it's a shame you can't use them straight out of the box on modern hardware... I'd also like to use 'em on my Macbook... Fingers crossed. 18T Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26129-apple-pro-speakers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TribesMan Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Apple Pro Speakers are passive speakers, and you cant use them without separate amplifier unit (that or the iFire which is an amplifier powered from FireWire connector). I recommend finding used iFire unit on ebay. But if this is not possible then you will have to do some serious modifications to the speakers and also you will have to find appropriate amplifier unit (something around 2*20W). One option would be buying some cheap active speakers for PC and then scraping the amplifier inside and connecting Pro speakers to that amplifier. I think that everything else is much more complicated.
