Hey race fans,
Well, the titles not entirely true, I've been hooking my big (10"
Cerwin Vega) speakers up to GP2 for awhile now, and it sounds
amazing.
But I could'nt play music while I was playing the game so it got a
little tiring.
So last night I had this revelation: I would snip the cable on my
regular crappy computer speakers, and hook up some medium sized Sony
speakers instead.
So I cut the wires, splice it together. And I get Dead air. Nothing.
Nice move Rae, apparently I also cut some sort of power wire. Oops.
Then I just pulled out an extra home stereo amp that I had and ran the
cables through that, surrounding my chair with these speakers, right
in my face.
It sounds unbelievable!!
When you take a corner a little too sharply, hitting the curb makes
this resonating tone that is difficult to describe. The real bass in
the speakers make the engine noise vibrate and has a physical quality
to it. GP2 (once again) was like a new game to me. It also gave me a
better feel for the car, since I could rely on hearing the gear levels
that much more, so my hotlaps got quicker.
To any of you out there that are still playing with the little stock
speakers, do yourself a favor, go out to Radio Shack and pick up the
$3 cable adapter and run it through your home system. You will not be
let down.
Btw, ICR2 and N2 sounds just as incredible, no surprise there.
See ya
