PC Speakers for CBG
Hey folks, I've done some searching but haven't really found the answer I'm looking for. I built my first CBG and put in a piezo but I don't have an amp to see if it works because I only really play acoustic lately. I just want to test my guitar to make sure I wired it up right until I get a proper amp, so I figured I could use my PC speakers. I picked up a 1/4" mono to 3.5mm stereo adapter jack and plugged the CBG into the speakers and got nothing. I'm just wondering if what I'm trying to do should work in theory and if it's my piezo setup that isn't working or the jury rigged attempt at using PC speakers as an amp.
Cheers,
Lane

Hmmm, I didn't solder, just used a plug adapter, and had no luck. They are independently powered speakers. So not sure why it didn't work for me
