TitanBry77 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wife was asking me how would people know what in the world the lights are blinking to lol?I said you know, I got so caught up in the lights, didn't think about the audio. I know a lot of you run the transmitters and put up a sign.How about other options? Outdoor speakers? Wireless etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanBry77 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Ok thanks, that's what I was wondering, I already have outdoor speakers close by on our patio. But I guess what do I need to run a line out cable from the computer to my A/V receiver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff bush Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Same here. Most any receiver will work. Low volume, you don't want to make the nice neighbors unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanBry77 Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have the Sonos wireless system through my house. I'm going to see how I can tie in to that and then maybe put the speaker out sometimes or something. So many decisions. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitePlainsNY Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Last year I bought the cheapest set of powered computer speakers I could fine. I think they were $8.00 so I didn't care if they were stolen although I'd have a video recording of the theft. Cheap audio cable connected them to the show PC.Since they were going to sit at the edge of my property and a public sidewalk, the wattage just needed to be high enough to be heard but low enough to not cause my neighbors headaches. I use a FM transmitter so the sound was just for people out of their cars or walking by.Hearing the music all night long during the shows wasn't desired so I used a lamp socket AC outlet convertor connected to an inexpensive outdoor motion activated lamp holder mounted to some scrap wood. The timer was set to 5 minutes. When someone walked by, the music would come on and continued as long as they stayed around. Once they left, the music stopped until the motion detector was tripped again.I covered the whole contraption with a white trash bag which it really didn't need since it was under a bush, behind my picket fence.Collectively, I think I spent less than $30 on the whole setup.
