I'm looking for a small amp for my motorcycle to plug my mp3 player into. Is this what I need to simply plug speakers, and my Mp3 player into?

You will be happier with another amp. This is no way loud enough on my bike.

While you could technically wire it up. It would be rather convoluted. You would do better with something like the Nitro BMW-AMP-SPK Motorcycle Amplifier. (http://www.amazon.com/Nitro-BMW-AMP-SPK-Motorcycle-Amplifier/dp/B005SIWK2K/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t)

It could work but it has a lot of interference. I only used mine for a couple weeks.

This uses old fashioned speakers that you actually run copper cable too, but if you have that (and a power source), it should work.

This will work fine for powering those speakers. Be sure you ground it VERY well or it will whine. The one I bought was the hardest amp I have ever had to get noise out of.

Brian, these are self powered so you don't need an amp. You can hook them to a computer, an MP3 player, or whatever source you have, no need for anything else. The amp is in the left speaker and you need to run a speaker wire to the right speaker and whala you have great tunes!

This is a good amp but it's for a small system. Like for myself, with no loud music all the time, just once in a while to show off. Lol. Your speakers have a range of 400 watts if I'm not mistaken, so it should power it since it's a 500w model. But I would recommend you to get a 1k watts amp. Kenwood's a pretty good brand for this. At least mine does the work like a charm.

You'll still need a proper amp. The output from this device isn't enough to power speakers alone.

This isn't an easy question to answer without the specifics of what you're trying to hook up. This is a guitar cable. It is mono and will work well in transferring a low power signal to an amp, etc. If you're trying to hook up an amp to a speaker for example, this is not what you want. For an already amplified signal you'll need a 1/4" speaker cable. There is a huge difference. One is shielded and meant to carry a high impedance signal to an amplification source, the other is not shielded and meant to carry a much stronger power signal with low impedance. You should Google the specifics of your gear because using this cable for instance to run from an amp head to a speaker could possibly cause major damage. I hope this helps!

The mini-amp's output is old-fashioned speaker jacks suitable for driving larger speakers. Our speakers are about 12" tall and quite loud.If you mean those little speakers that people attach to computers, then I don't think this amp is what you want. I don't see why you want any amp at all with them actually.BTW, this amp has an extremely loud buzz. We use it only for loud programs, especially ones that are hard to understand - they do help understand speech better than our tv's build-in speakers.

There are numerous, very good small amps Out There: from Pig Nose to - the one I own - a Schiffler. A speaker will not be a good choice - choose amplification,.

It's manly a mini amp to amplify your headphones, I use it with my ipod and works great. So if you are running off your comp. to listen to audio, then yes.. It is one of the better built amps I have..

The amp has rca jacks , if your saddle bag speakers have rca jacks you can purchace a splitter and it will work

Yes, unless your amp Is passive, then you should connect the speakers through the back, normally speakers don't need an amp to power if they need 3.5mm jack to power, if the speakers/monitors are active (aka, have their own plugs and inside amplifier) then you do not need the amp to power them, as long as this wire is used you can plug strait into laptop/computet/phone anything with a 3.5mm jack

Cut the plug in off and wire it up to one of your speakers... No amp needed

All you need is an 1/8" cable to a RCA cable. Plug the 1/8" (headphone jack) into your MP3 player and connect the RCA cables to the amp. Done.

The mini to stereo 1/4" adapters are very inexpensive. That is the solution to connecting my Sony miniplug headphones to the Headphone amp.

My only concern would be how hard can the xmp3i drive the speakers? They drive my ear buds great but with all the wind, road, and motor noise on bike I'm just not sure it would work without a small amp.

You want your speakers to be wired into 2 ohms, not 4 in order to get the full 500 watts out of this amp. Otherwise your limited to 300. Let me suggest these speakers, they are what I have and are very impressive with this amp: MTX Audio Terminator Series TNE212D 1,200-Watt Dual 12-Inch Sub Enclosure

An amplifier has a high current draw. I wouldn't plug an amp in there. The connector on the power supply is referred to as the 'courtesy' and is meant to connect smaller things like another voodoo labs power supply or perhaps a power strip (to connect 9-12v adapters to power pedals)
