how do you turn a speaker into a mic?

does anyone know? is it as simple as just plugging them in? i know elictric amps want work. is wirecrossing needed?

I know that headphones can be used as mics, just plug them into the mic jack, and one of the speakers will be a mic lol.

ive noticed on alot of headphones 1 ear nvr worx anyway.
is it that simple though?

yes. Microphones and speakers work on the same basic principles. The quality will be horrible though.

wow, it worked, when i looked at the title of tis tread i thought someone was retarded, sorry for my mistake:)

how good does it work? and why is it i cant get audio out of my mic then?

ahhh it happens, im used to it..

if you use your mic as a speaker it will damage it.

y is that and while we are on it how do u boost the sound of the speakers you already got?!

mics are more senistive, and have some sort of cardon thing, in them ( that speakers don't). Remember its not designed as a speaker, it just can be used as one.

but how about amping up speakers? i got this cheap laptec that barely makes a sound..
