I recently got some speakers out of a Sharp stereo. I have no idea what the model of the stereo is, but if it is any help, on the back of the speaker, it says: EASJ10P14B3 SPF1759A
I was wondering how I would rig it for use as regular speakers (with
3.5 mm jack) This wouldn't be a problem if the speakers had two cords, but there are three.On the negative side of one speaker, there are two cords with black insulation. One goes to the plug-like thing that probably connected it to the stereo's main board. The other goes to the negative side on the other speaker (which accidentally got ripped out but I can probably solder that back on.) That same speaker has a grey cord on the positive side that goes to the plug. The other speaker has the previously mentioned black cord on the negative side and a brownish- reddish cord on the positive side that goes to the plug.
So my question is, why do regular headphones and speakers have only two cords, and if I were to modify this for use as a regular speaker, to plug into my mp3 player or something else, what would I do with the extra cord, and which one is the extra cord?
Thank you for your help
