Yes you can. It is as simple as taking a 1/8" jack from the computer to the input of the amplifier. There are a few precautions to think about first. Computer output levels can be higher than most line levels so it's a good idea to make sure that the amplfier can handle the input level. Over driving the input can cause distortion that potentially can damage speakers even though the speakers themselves aren't being overdriven. Built in sound cards in computers are not the best sound source. In fact, some are just plain awful. If the idea of using large speakers is to get good quality sound, it's worth investing in a good quality sound card. Home studio retailers will have them and should be able to offer advice about the right one to choose. Most computers are stuffed under a desk or even in cupboards. As amplifiers generate heat, make sure it has room to breathe. If it needs to be installed in a cupboard, ensure that there is sufficient cooling to keep the amp comfortable. Finally, remember that with an external amplifier, it does not turn off when the computer is off. There are some automated switches that can turn off power to peripherals when the computer is off.

What is the average power consumption of desktop computer?

It depends on what PC, but your power supply will normally say on the side of it. Most commonly is between 200-400 watts Power consumption is a combination of several things. The power listed on your power supply is the amount the power supply is capable of handling. The actual power consumption of the computer depends on what processes are being used, for example word processing will consume less power than heavy gaming. However, one can expect average computer use to consume 150-200W.


If a computer is 100 percent faster what does that mean?

Techincally that should mean that it is the same speed. For example, if it was 200% faster then it would be twice as fast.


How many watts are the power supply?

Well it all depends on how high-end your computer is. If it is a rather basic model there are probably between 450 and 500 watts, but if you have a higher-end computer, it will probably have between 600 and 850 watts. This way the higher the ammount of watts your computer has the more power it will have to run the hardware of your computer.


What did computers cost in 2003?

It depended on your needs. For example a gaming computer would cost about 1000-2500$ ,while a computer used for simple tasks (i.e. web browsing, email) would cost about 500-800$


How many integrated circuit are used in third generation computer?

I suppose it would depend on what the computer was for; with cheaper computers using less and more expensive ones using more obiviously. Regardless it would still need to be quite a few because a single IC can't do much. I'd guess something in the 200's.

What does 200Wx4 mean?

200Wx4 means you have 200 watts times 4 channels. Meaning you can get 200 watt speakers for the four corners of your car and the radio you have that has 200Wx4 will power them equally


What size amp do you need for 6 and a half Sony speakers that has 190 Watt peak power and 40 rms and Sony 6 by 9 speakers that has 300 Watt peak power and 60 rms?

200 RMS 4 channel or 2 channel so u know add the rms of the speakers to find the amp rms needed


You are looking for speakers for DJing and you have a 600 Watt amp. What kind of speakers do you buy?

With 600 watts, you can't really go too big, and if you only have one amp, you can't go with separate mids/highs and a sub, so personally, I would try to find a pair of 200 watt speakers that have nice tweeters, mids, and lows, all in one. Don't go for anything over 200 watts each, because you want to leave room on your amp. You don't want to get two 300 watt speakers, because your amp will be working at full power, which isn't good for it or your new speakers. So all in all, a nice pair of 200 watt full range speakers is what I would be looking for.


Can a 240 watt amplifier power 200 watt speakers?

Yes, but just be careful with the volume - damage will only occur if used at high volumes for long periods of time (Hours) for normal listening at home it is not a problem


Can speakers with a max rating of 200 watts be connected to an 80 watt receiver?

Yes you can, but You might get damage your receiver.


Can you run a 300 watt graphics card with a 200 watt power supply?

it will burn do not do it or your pc or maybe your house will be in fire


Can you hook a 200 watt amplifier to a 120 watt sub woofer?

Yes it should be all right. Ratings for amp/speakers are approximate but as a rule it is preferable for the speaker to be rated higher than the amp.


How big of amp to run 650 watt speakers?

Speaker wattage is a measure of the power handling capability of the speaker. This assumes a clean un-clipped signal from the amp. The spec you need is Sensitivity: Sound Pressure Level (in db) with 1 watt input of a 1khz signal measured at distance of 1 meter from the speaker. Highly efficient speakers are going to be around 96/98 db. If your speaker is rated at 93 db 1watt/1meter, then it will take twice as much amplifier power to run it up to 96 db. Depending on whether you want your ears to bleed, most speakers will do quite well with 100 watt or so high quality amplifiers. Keep in mind, if you want extreme volumes get a 200/300 watt amp or better to give you the headroom needed to keep signals from clipping and blowing your speakers. This answer assumes the question was for home stereo.


How many watts will power two 10 inch 800 watt speakers?

Up to 1600 watts amplifier. Less wattage will still power speakers but at a reduced volume level. Wattage is power. If you expect to fill a living room with sound, it would only require about 200-500 watts with good quality speakers. If you want to fill a banquet hall, then you would probably be looking at thousands of watts 2000-10000 watts depending on size of hall.


Can you run a 200 watt bulb with a 160 watt solar panel?

Yes, a 160 watt solar panel can power a 200 watt bulb, but only during optimal conditions. You may not get continuous power output if there are factors like shade or weather conditions affecting the panel's efficiency. It's recommended to use a battery to store excess energy for use when the sun is not shining.


If i have 1000 watt light on a 200 amp?

You need at least 5 volts to power it? What's the real question?


How many speakers can you hook up to a 200 watt car CD player?

Typically one would hook up 2 - 4 speakers. But, keep the impedance correct (resistance, for lack of a more complicated definition) by wiring speakers in series and/or parallel and theoretically there is no limit to the amount of speakers, 6 - 8 should not be a problem.
