I use an inexpensive stereo amp that runs on 12 V. It is $9 from Amazon. I put PowerPoles on the power lead.

I was hoping to find the old Radio Shack AV speakers, but couldn’t find a pair. https://smile.amazon.com/Pyle-PCB3BK-100-Watt-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B000MCGF1O/ <https://smile.amazon.com/Pyle-PCB3BK-100-Watt-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B000MCGF1O/> Finally, I got a stereo multi-way sharing thingy. That allows me to keep the audio amp and my headphones plugged in. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00E9W11QM/ <https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00E9W11QM/> wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 17, 2016, at 4:02 AM, Don Wilhelm <[email protected]> wrote: > > Kevin, > > Get good amplified speakers that do not respond to RF.
