Small amp with rca inputs

**Ozzyman** · 07-20-2006, 06:35 PM

Ok, so this isn't quite car audio but it is the exact same principles. I'm hooking my xbox360 up to two speakers that came from a stereo system. I'm thinking of putting
the audio rca cables from the xbox to an amplifier and then the amplifier outs to the speakers. One interesting aspect is that the speakers have male rca cables coming out of them(as inputs), so i'll need to convert the amplifier out cables to rca (not a problem I hope.)

I need to find a cheap amplifier (20-30watts) with rca inputs which can power these two speakers. And can you mention what the amp outs are, so I can figure out how to get it into female rca.

XBOX360 --RCA--> (RCA in) Amplifier (??? Out) --???--> (??? in) Converter (Female RCA out) <--RCA-- Speakers

Does this make sense?
Oh, and I emphasize cheap amp!!

would these speakers be circa 1974? just chop off the rca's from the speaker and there you have two speaker leads...no converter needed

is this going in your car?

i'm not knocking old speakers... a lot of old home audio speakers kick ***! as far as an amp...i'd just check out ebay for an old yamaha stereo amp or something. maybe parts express?
