Cd player to 12v speakers?

I am doing a bike-stereo project with a cd player (not a car one) and some 12v speakers. Could I just hook up the 12v wires (from battery) to the speakers and have the sound output from the speakers hooked up too? Would that sound ok?

yep.. i think..

depends on what your speakers say... they usually tell you what the voltage is on the back of the speakers.

I said they were 12 volt. I think I am using only one though. It they are 5" 10 watt speakers.

When I add the 12v to it, the volume doesn't get any louder than when just the cd player is hooked up to it.

Would an amplifier do what I need?

i would just buy speakers that is able to be plugged into a wall outlet AND able to be used by using batteries..... seems like way too much work for just speakers, i would just but the new speakers.

Yeah but I would like like to have the feeling that I did it and I would rather not spend anymore money. I know there is a way and it can't be too hard.

Either put a rack on the back or a detacheable bag by the seat.

omg, speakers dont have a voltage. They are measured in ohms and watts

I will correct this entire thread after lunch.

Ok. thanks DJ-CHRIS. I though they were 12v because they came out of a car. It is 10 watts and I think 4 ohms.
