Hey all-

I'm new to this forum and relatively uninformed about the Mac (as this question will show).

I just bought a used G4 dual 1.25 with 2 ghz of ram and two 200mhz harddrives. Probably a bunch more machine than I need but I got a good deal on it. Anyways, I don't know alot about this machine but the first thing I want to do is connect it to an amp and speakers to get some real sound out of it.

I assume I use the audio line-out port (headphone jack) with some kind of adapter to patch into an amplifier.

What adapter would that be and where would I get it?

If I had this line-out port occupied, would the G4 tower's speaker still work? What about a set of Apple Pro speakers plugged into the apple speaker mini-jack?

Any help would be really appreciated-
Craig

Go to Radio Shack and buy a stereo 1/8" to dual 1/4" cable. This should connect you go just about any amp. When you have this plugged in, your internal speaker will not work.

Don't know about the apple pro speakers in the mini jack.
