Drive in speakers Anonymous Mon Apr 15 19:38:59 2019 No.1593741 [Reply] [Original]

My Dad has two old drive in speakers. He asked me if there's anyway to hook them up to an iPod/iPhone. I'm sure there is I just don't know how. He's moving into an old folks home next month, he needs to use a wheelchair because he can barely walk, I really want to do this for him. What is the best way to do this??

So I see THIS is often bought with it
https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Bluetooth-Decording-Transmitter-Headphones/dp/B01FU12QC8/ref=pd_aw_fbt_23_img_3/145-6988670-0599460?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01FU12QC8&pd_rd_r=b01acca2-5fe0-11e9-b2ef-bb2ae37525d6&pd_rd_w=sMZgq&pd_rd_wg=Qrg7U&pf_rd_p=3ecc74bd-d08f-44bd-96f3-d0c2b89f563a&pf_rd_r=F3QJDYWS9RYBV2R25RHX&psc=1&refRID=F3QJDYWS9RYBV2R25RHX

Would it be easy to make this a Bluetooth receiver?? Also, he has two. Do you think it'd be okay to hook em both up at once or would it sound weird?

If you have 2 speakers and you're set on them, you're better off finding a set of 2 wireless pairing Bluetooth speakers, gutting them, and putting the speakers in the new case. They won't have the antique quality anymore though, which is why I suggested the amp board.

Also, yes, that would work, but then you have to worry about buttons and all that with Bluetooth. And can grandpa even figure out how to pair it?

Regardless, you would just hook up the output of that Bluetooth board to the amp, split your 5VDC incoming between the 2 boards and it would work.
