Hello All,
This may not be a CBG for this group, but I didn't get much from the other appropriate group. I came across a circuit board and speaker from a Fender Mini Amp. I thought I could just wire up a 9 volt batter clip, connect the speaker and away we go... But I am at a loss as to where things connect to the board.
I know some of these little amps have a smaller board that connects to a 12 volt wall jack and a headphone jack, but these parts aren't absolutely necessary are they, or is that the control board for these components and without it I am screwed?
I see a DC Power (red wire), and I see a ground (orange and white?). The speaker has a white and dark brown wire coming off of it.
Can anyone help?
Tags:
The Red wire to board marked "DC" is + battery/walwart power. Orange wire is marked "GND" for ground. White is marked "HEAD", gotta be short for Headphones - would be + for speaker/headphone.
It appears from the pic that the White and Orange are grouped in the same box, so assuming they are the + & - for the speaker connection. Red "DC" appears to be by itself, but should have a ground connection as well and I'm not seeing that. a pic of the under side might help.
I'm going to assume the GND wire would be for both power and speaker/headphone
Well alright then... so if I got this straight, I use the ground as common for the ground on the speaker and ground on the battery clip. I then wire the power to the DC Power (as I suspected) and the white head wire to the plus on the speaker.
That's a whole lot better than the other advise of "why not try using the wire that appear to be cut?".
Awesome, thanks guys! Hopefully one of these days I can figure out enough of this stuff so that I can actually wire my own boards (that's the goal and dream).
Looks very nice.
