There are some simple amps that you can buy for relatively cheap. Lepai makes a perfect solution for you ~$25 bucks. Lepai LP-A68 is what I use.

First, you must have a source generating the music. I have a plain receiver/amplifier in my bedroom. I ran speaker cables outside by drilling a small hole in the wall to my outside deck/porch. I then simply hook up the speaker cables to the receiver/amplifier in my bedroom and hooked up the cables to the speakers making sure that positive is connected to the positive posts and negative to the negative post. This insures that speakers are in face with each other. Most receivers have two sets of posts (speakers "A" and speakers "B"). I hooked up my external speakers to speakers "B" and the internal speakers to the "A" posts. Now you can listen to any radio station you chose in your receiver. You can add a CD player component to your set up or a turntable, tablet, computer, smart phone etc. to add listening choices. It's really quite simple. Good luck. You can also find any teenager music enthusiast to help you. They all know this stuff.

These are AC speakers, designed for home use. Not a convenient portable solution, IMO. For that, try a Cambridge Oontz. But the T20's are very good home speakers.

These speakers run off a stereo or a reciever. You'll have to wire them to one of those in order for them to work.

I just paired them with the new/current 7" HD and am viewing a Poirot episode. They sound great. Make sure that the speakers do not pair with another device when you are trying to pair the Fire. I couldn't pair mine, and then realized they had auto-connected with my phone when I turned them on. I turned off Bluetooth on the phone, turned the speakers off and back on, and then pressed the pairing prompt on the Fire screen. After the initial pairing, the speakers connect and play automatically as long as the Fire's Bluetooth has not been turned off.

These speakers were not made to be plugged into any RCA output source, (jacks). You will need to go to your local Radio Shack store and purchase and/or fabricate something yourself. Mine are plugged into a home stereo reciever that has both RCA and the jacks on these speakers.

Hello, I actually don't know how to explain this well, so I will try and give it a shot. All that I do is hook it up to my laptop, play music from ITunes or Spotify, and plug in the 2 Sony Speakers I have and it's like having music anywhere around the house. Does that help?

I went back and re-read my originally reply. Sorry for the confusion, I don't know of a way to connect an iPad to the speaker system. I can connect an iPad (or any MP3 player) to the receiver that my speakers are connected to. Originally I wrote:"Yes, you can connect it (or any USB music player) to the USB port on the front and play locally stored or streamed music from there."

Hi C.L. Let me ask you: how do you intend to play music while it's charging? Without an AUX port there is no way to physically connect the phone to the cars speakers. You can certainly use Bluetooth while charging, or play music via the phone speakers, but the audio input pictured here is for connecting via Aux port. This 2-in-1 charger does not have an AM/FM transmitter which would allow you to play music over a radio frequency on your radio, and this is what you may need if you have no physical connection port or Bluetooth connectivity.

There is an outport that you can hook up to your stereo. And do remember, you don't have to play everything loud. ;)

Unfortunately these are powered VIA USB so you would need a USB to connect to so that they are powered, then you can use a phone or any music player to hear it through the speakers.

I'm pretty sure you need a radio. I think you either have to use the auxiliary port on the radio or tune it through a certain radio station if you don't have a port.

You need some sort of software. I prefer Virtual DJ. The device itself comes with the program.

there are probably speakers out there that use the earphone jack. You might look at computer or iPad speakers

I hooked them up to my surround sound receiver. I don't think they're built to CRANK UP and rock the house, but I have them outside on my deck and they're on 24/7 (I listen to KKJZ's online stream--jazzandblues.org). I'm in a quiet neighborhood, and so I remember a couple of times at night I had the music on a bit too loud, so I had to turn it down. Anyway, the basic receiver works fine with me.

Barbara, I don't really know what your question is regarding. But from the previous answer, I am guessing that you want to know how to use these speakers. New electronic devices have what is called Bluetooth capability. In other words you can send the music signal without a wire connected to the speaker. If the device you want to use to play music does not have this capability you can use a wire to connect your device to the speaker the wire needs to have a plug that will fit in your music device and one that will fit into the speaker. The plug that goes into the speaker is a 3.5 mm cable. Good luck. The speaker deliver a great sound. Barbara, I don't really know what your question is regarding.

No, you cannot. You need an external/portable speaker(s)! I gave the wrong answer at first, but then I double-checked and realized you cannot! I'm sorry for the original misinformation!:)

You need an amplifier. Just connect the amp to the player and the speakers to the amp. You can probably find how to connect amps and speakers on google.
