Just throw a resistor on it to make it quieter.
Ah, I was seeing it as some kind of project in wait and figured I could get some advice from someone who's been there. I don't actually have a speaker system of any sort currently. I just wanted to make one for when I did the dishes or take showers. But I really dislike bass so I figured putting together a little 3 watter or something small would be fun and interesting. I also didn't realize you could just add a resistor to dampen sound but it makes a lot of sense. I haven't done anything with electronics in a long time. But I figured no better time than today to pick something back up. Ty either way, and keep on keeping on =)
I'm not the person you replied to in the first place, I'm sure they have a lot more to say than my simple advice
The volume of a sound is its amplitude, which correlates to its kinetic energy. Kinetic energy in a sound comes from the electrical energy in the speaker. You can lower electrical energy with a resistor.
Ah, snikes - apologies. I was on the end of a long pain bender (doing pretty solid today) and my whole system wasn't in one piece. I read up on it as soon as you said something and it made sense to me. Although I thought of use case between an actual speaker versus a bluetooth and between the two I said - well one would just charge slower and the other would just receive less power and sound fainter. But yeah, I don't have an actual speaker system as a whole, in any entity. I just have a laptop, and a monitor with two little tweeters built in. And then my phone. I used to give a hoot about music very much so, and be perhaps not an audiophile, but an enjoyer of volume and levels. But now I just want to listen to something, with a little volume - that I can just turn on when bathing or doing the dishes. Because I realized many moons ago I used to have a boom-box that I'd jam out to in the kitchen which made the entire process more enjoyable as a whole.
Thanks though, yet again!
