Hello,

I found a street loudspeaker, but I don’t know how to connect it or what devices to use to operate it.

Thank you.

    Hello

    It's like you find a wheel and ask on which truck, car, motorcycle or tractor to mount it.

    The approach is to determine if you have equipment with an output speaker of the same power and impedance, if you need it relative to an integrated speaker, and possibly if you must and know how to solder.

    First of all. It would be to identify the characteristics if a reference is written

    Starting without minimum knowledge and especially without determining the real need leads to accumulating equipment without being able to use it.

    In any case, according to the photo it is a loudspeaker for PA use to be connected to a power amplifier, if you have one.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I understand the problem. Yes, I have a power amplifier (see photo), but I don't know if it is compatible or how to connect it.

    In fact, I have all the equipment; it is a matter of assembly, and I don't know if it will all work together.

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

    Hello

    That does not address the clarifications to be provided:

    - what use? This type of speaker is intended for outdoor sound systems, not to be paired with a hi-fi preamp-amplifier that is used with two compatible loudspeakers and not with a single speaker.

    That said, some sound could come out of it but a second speaker would be missing.

    - seeing a photo gives no indication of the exact model of the device, even less its specifications

    - the speaker's specifications (maximum power, impedance) are always unknown.

    I don't know either if it can work and cannot offer a lead to a solution in the absence of the technical elements already requested.
