and i've got a few questions I haven't been able to find answers with using Google.
1- I recently brought my system to a party because the only sound system that had was an in home, full house system and her parents were upstairs and didn't want the music blasting up there. Anyways, being a party I had my speakers cranked and I found that leaving them at near-max volume they would just cut out. Not blow, not clip, just stop playing sound. Double and Triple checked all connections, everything was fine. Turned the stereo off and back on, turned down the volume a bit and everything was fine. Cranked it again just to test it and the same thing happened a few minutes later. Basically i'm asking if this could be a problem with anything besides the crappy philips shelf stereo I have.
2- Wondering what a good/reasonably priced amp for a beginner would be, and cost.
3- Double checking some research: If I purchase minijack connectors I can connect exposed speaker wire to those and connect the speakers directly to an iPod or CD player, Correct? (Or in a different case through and amp and into an iPod or CD player)
I appreciate any help, and feel free to let me know of any mistakes in my questions or logic...or thinking, hah. Remember, just getting into Audio.
