1/4" Phone plug to speaker wire adapter


Recommended Posts

I picked up a pair of these Akai speakers and want to see if they work without cutting off the 1/4" phone plug.  I think they originally were intended 

to mate up with a reel to reel deck.  

 

I was thinking I could get a female jack, solder speaker wire to the correct terminals, then be good to go.  Will that work?  

 

Thanks!

Ok, I have a basic meter but don't really know how to use it.  Let me research that first.

 

Thanks, and I'll learn something!

 

Set it to Ohms.  Place one lead on the top of the jack and the other one on the bottom (on either side of the black ring).  If it reads somewhere around 8 ohms it'll probably play.  If it's open than it wont.
