Yup, I second the notion.
That's the correct cable too.
One thing to consider though.
You are trying to drive (Regular sized ?) Bose speakers from a headphone jack. It may work, but I doubt you'll be able to get any volume out of it. (Friend of mine had the same problem in his garage.)
You'll need to jump on E-Bay (cheapest) and pick up a cheap 2 x 50 (watt) amplifier. They can be picked up for  around 10 bucks. Amazon is more expensive. You don't need anything fancy, just something to drive the signal.
BUT, If the projector has RCA jacks in the back, instead of using the headphone jack, Use them instead. They will be properly powered.

These are Female A/V jacks.
Yellow is video, Red is (+) Speaker, White is (-) speaker


These are a male / female pair.


But, depending on how old your Bose are, you may just need an adapter if the connection on the speakers are wire retainers.

These are female, but I'd assume you'd need male from the back of the projector. Just connect the speaker wire to the adapters and run to the speakers. (Both E-Bay and Amazon have these.)

Thanks, I'm pretty sure theyre amplified from the box everything runs to. Its these speakers https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/products/2_speaker_home_theater_support/cinemate_gs_series2.html anyhow.

I know I run them direct off a TV and they can shake the house- Excellent sound for a 2.1 system and I dont use any external amplifiers.

Hopefully this will work- The thing is, I dont really want to put too much into trying to make all this work since its temporary- If this works out I'll be getting a better projector anyhow and a 7.1 system to go with it...Right now this is kind of just something to play with and test and convince the wife we should spend the money on a 4k projector lol

You need a different cable, easily obtainable. If there is what remains of a Radio Shack near you they may have it. You can get it on Amazon, here's the url:  http://tinyurl.com/y73rbws7

You need a Mini 3.5 mm to Dual RCA male audio cable. It's inexpensive and is easily gotten on any audio site online in addition to Amazon. Hope this helps.

Yes, you're a lifesaver thank you very much.

Totally off topic but I need help and I know this place is filled with Audiophiles.

Its an emergency of sorts.

This may be (and probably is) something simple but since I'm not an audio guy at all I do not even know the proper terminology to search for this problem. Perhaps someone here could be good enough to help.

I just purchased a cheap projector for setting up a little movie theater in the basement and I have an old (but decent) Bose 2.1 system that I would like to hook up to the projector... The problem is, the Bose system has the red and white audio cables and the projector only has a headphone style jack- The small jack that takes a single plug.

I figured this would be easily solved by taking an AV to Aux cable (like in the first picture) and then plugging the red and white male cables (picture 2) into the female counterparts on the AV cable and then plugging it into the headphone jack... It SEEMS like this should work and it actually does to a degree but the sound only comes through one speaker and the Bass cannon doesnt have any Bass lol...I know the speakers work great because I use them occasionally in my bedroom with a Television and if I switch the inputs the other speaker will work through the projector- But regardless, I only have one speaker when setting it up like this and its really frustrating.

Everything ive tried to look up talks about soldering things and splicing wires and things beyond my understanding-

Can someone tell me either what I am possibly doing wrong or tell me what I can purchase that will fix this so I have the whole 2.1 range of sound with my new projector?

Thanks and sorry for the off topic but I want my shit to work and am trying to have a Lord of The Rings marathon tomorrow with some friends and all I have that is working with this fucking thing are computer speakers.

You could be listening to Sundown on KingdomOfNyeRadio.com
You chose shit.
Not good, Tim!

Real shit- Based on the creativity and the website and radio trailer and well thought out mockery and parody you have kicked out- I would listen..

I think you are probably capable of putting out something pretty amazing.

Bart Ell, whoever you are, youre a clever and funny fucking guy and I imagine you could give us a hell of a show.

I brought this up in a Facebook group. How many of these experts are just riding the Art Bell coattails and aren't experts at all, just telling a tall tale and seeing who bites at the bait. Any Jane or Joe can write a book and get on the air, it seems. It's like a pro sports league expanding to more cities and then wondering why there aren't enough quality players.

Yeah but with the added caveat that those people playing the sports are making no money but getting put in a public place in a sort of pseudo-fame.

Fame is a curse I wouldnt put on anyone...Especially now that we have these petty internet wars that are turning into people being doxxed, swatted , having their whole life examined under a microscope, saying the wrong thing and having internet hate mobs attack.

To have that level of stress and be making less money than a burger flipper is insane. Who really is going top do that for any length of time without real financial incentive?

It takes a certain kind of person who is so 'fame hungry' they would subject themselves to that without the reward of an actual stable and well paying career behind it all.

I couldnt do it. Putting in massive amounts of hard work, being under stress, not knowing if you are going to be doxxed or have piles of animal shit sent to your home address or have an internet hate mob unleashed because you said something not 'politically correct' enough- Having your whole life placed under a microscope for examination and critique WITHOUT those million dollar paychecks.

To paraphrase 2-Pac ' Fuck the fame I just want the money' -

Interesting thoughts. I'm listening to the C2C archives, and the difference btween Art and HLW at the same age is incredible. I believe that when Art started to make it big with C2C in the mid 1990s, he was the same age as HLW is now. Art sounded knowledgeable even then, and HLW sounds like an adult kid. I'm curious to know how Art got so good while HLW is the way she is. A late start?

I think thats probably a very complex situation.

For one, the barrier to entry back then was insanely high and difficult- With very few being able to make it in radio and a system of gatekeeping that separated the wheat from the chaff... By the time someone had made a career in radio and was middle aged- They would have to be head and shoulers above the competition. And Art was.

Would Art have "made it" in todays world. Probably not... He would have quickly realized that the reward isnt really there anymore and pursued something more lucrative. I'm certain alot of real potential talent is lost because now that the barrier to entry is so low (as in anyone can have an internet radio show) and the competition for actually making a buck is so high (you are competing against anyone with an internet connection) and the competition so fierce- Most with Arts talent would move on to something else and we are left with the Veras of the world who arent really making money doing this but are seeking something else (e-fame? Idk...Its beyond me)

The internet has changed everything- Its also made competition for entertainment dollars a blood fest. The people pursuing 'radio' these days are dreaming of a career (that will probably not happen and will end up being a beg-a-thon for a few bucks to make rent) but quickly see that its not going to happen- So the smart ones (like Bell) probably move on and we are left with the ones who lack real talent...I'm generalizing too and not trying to tar everyone with a broad brush but overall that is the case.

Bell came on the scene when nobody was broaching this subject matter- There were still gatekeepers- People like "us" (bell fans) didnt have 24/7 acess to all the entertainment we wanted on demand. Every person (who at the time hadnt been completely debunked) involved in the fringe was lining up to get on his show and he could pick and choose the best of the best.

The time and place was a perfect storm.

fast forward to today and I can google a subject that interests me (say Cryptozoology) and have on demand radio about that one subject that will last me for years and years and years. I can download audiobooks for very cheap and my entertainment choices are limitless- In the mid 90s theres Bell for fringe topics.

So the people getting into this today either quickly realize they are going to be lost in the shuffle, work really hard and make little to no money OR they move on. So the ones that stay in this 'business' are seeking something different for the most part and by proxy are not going to be in the same league as what we had in the past.

Its an interesting discussion.

I'll bet it took one really good consult with a lawyer, practically any lawyer... to get her to understand she needed to cave on everything. How will she explain this to her cult fans?

The "Darkside"- Blame it on the darkside.

Keith was probably just trying to be nice. i doubt he thought she was actually this kray-kray. i mean, she crazy as hell. she believes that the law doesn't apply to her because Art. insane.

Yeah and if it were something truly profitable I would understand the dispute...And by profitable I mean long term .

Even Keith has to understand that even if MITD was taking in money it was on Art bells name and now that Art is gone, MITD as an asset (with Heater ) was going to end up being a liability.

Someone pointed out that by changing the name , Keith would have legally had to stop all recurring subscriptions and that made alot of sense at the time but now I think the shows need to rise and fall on their own merit and the "name" contains little to no value and certainly not worth fighting about.

If I were a PR guy on either side I would be trying to bridge the gap and giving this to heather which legalities aside is hers and as a name itself holds very little intrinsic value) because honestly this is fucking stupid over an internet radio show that is on its way down...

Keith has dave, who is so fucking far above most of whats out there on the internet right now that IF its even possible to "make it" online in the current climate and with the current resources/technology- he will if anyone can. HW will be the superstar of LMN (sic) which means she will only have to hold down a part time job and work every night on her 'show' to afford the cuckshed.

The whole thing is really silly to me...Funny...But silly.

Quote from: GravitySucks on June 05, 2018, 10:23:13 AM
It is whatever is in her contract that she signed after Art quit.  Doesn’t get any plainer than that. You can speculate on what is copyright or trademark or servicemark but at the end of the day Keith has a signed document that stipulates what she agreed not to do.

I believe it also says she cannot host a show for two years but Keith has said if she just changes the name he won’t contest it.

Makes sense.

Quote from: yoursongs on June 05, 2018, 10:16:20 AM
Not sure how name copyright would work, but technically aren't the names below different? example:

MITD with HW
MITD with DS

What they are really fighting for would be the .com (which should be very easy to prove).  If (retarded) owned the .com, she would never have started artbelllegacy.com, correct?  That proves that KR owns the .com, in my opinion.

seems logical to me-

I was involved in a trademark dispute in the compute gaming industry and thats how it ended- By keeping the original name but with a ":" that added an additional sub-title.

Not sure the difference here.

TBH I'm on Heather side as far as what I believe should happen (fuck legalities, just as a human being) but I'm just enjoying the drama.

Falkie needs money tor his AlienConâ,,¢️ trip.

Thats better than cocaine... Aliencon is a hell of a drug.

Plus Falkie is kinda hawt...maybe he'll like me?

I don't get why a young guy would want to "get some" from a 42 yr. old "never was", who is holed up in a shack and barely even goes outside, and who might be a guy.  The one pic she has "allowed" us to see (if it's even real) is not flattering at all in my opinion, so tell me what the attraction is.

I dont disagree- She looks older than 42 in that pic.

But who the fuck is sending someone $600 for a prepaid subscription? If I spend $600 on anything it better be something tangible or cocaine or I expect to get laid. edit- Not by someone who looks like heater either... But we all have different standards.

Just saying...

Wow, another long timer in mail order. Congrats on the longevity with that. I started with it in the mid 1990's as a side business in conjunction with an existing retail brick and mortar operation and also during the early eBay days (that platform sure has changed, not all for the better).

Dont you guys take paypal so someone can just use a card?

Ive spent a shitload of money the last couple months buying vape supplies (I quit smoking) and setting up a cheap indoor Theater and I did everything with a card.

I'm seriously in awe that people still use checks/money order for anything.

Alot of lonely and stupid beta guys who think they might get some....I think (wouldnt want to be accused to libel or anything)

Quote from: DynamoHum on June 05, 2018, 09:08:51 AM
Libel is easy enough to pursue and sue for - it's written defamation - slander is vocalised etc, and more difficult. Everyone on here is pretty much clever enough to quantify their postulating with possibly, I think, I'd bet, Perhaps etc. This makes it speculation/opinion which is fine. Plus any information that is dredged to the fore on here is pretty rigorously source checked and can have a source cited.

Add that to the fact that I am sure Liberace is clever enough to have a clause in his T&C of use that he's not responsible for anything written here (if you haven't add one quick) and I am pretty sure cross border/inter state/international lawyerly stuff is not going to be anything any lamo that would be idiotic enough to try it given the costings involved.

Exactly- And even if someone did say something that constituted 'libel' - Is that even worth pursuing (and paying the money that may or may not lead to a dead end due to someone being indigent or on a VPN that doesnt keep logs) when all that would happen is that the offending post would be removed and forgotten.

Quote from: bellNwhistle on June 05, 2018, 09:00:55 AM
Can you imagine? With all of the screenshots (or any perusal of her FB page, for that matter) showing her attacking Keith and BellGab (and thus, MV), telling people they were in fact responsible for her show having technical difficulties?

It'll never get to that point.

This is all about veiled threats and a silly little internet war.

Quote from: Pizzapunch on June 05, 2018, 08:53:01 AM
As an aside if she went after bellgab (which won't happen), it would be interesting when her past awful comments she made while a member here are dredged up.

What could she possibly go after bellgab for anyhow- The post from facebook that mentioned that, that I saw actually said bellgab had committed "Libel and slander" which is hard to do both on a written forum- I'm no attorney (I just play one on TV) but I know enough about the law to keep myself out of trouble most of the time and I have seen nothing here that would be considered 'libel' since this is all about opinions and heater certainly doesnt have the money to track down every individual (who may or may not be indigent or on a VPN) and thus the worst case scenario would be MV having to remove a post or two (and heather having to pay for that privilege)

Quote from: Juan on June 05, 2018, 08:37:57 AM
No, no. They sent money orders. Who the hell uses money orders except deadbeats who can’t get a checking account? Or are money orders the new cool thing?

I'm not sure thats really indicative of being a 'deadbeat'- I havnt had a paper check on me since at least a decade ago and I have several checking accounts- Just use a debit card and TBH if I ever had to send a check to someone I would probably get a money order rather than paying for checks i'll never use.

I'm honestly trying to remember the last time I had checks (or had to use them for any reasons) and I cant (but I do remember they were Star Wars checks before Star Wars became gay- So it was a long time ago)

Edit- NVM, my wife just said she has checks- So I would just steal one of hers if needed I suppose...I dont really understand why she has checks but she is claiming she does. good to know I guess =/

edit 2- Nope. her checks have puppies on them. I would still just pay for a money order.

I hear you, Nobody.  I most definitely hear you.

And as good as Dave is, and as much as I like his spin on the show- and appreciate the hard work he and Keith and Michelle have done to keep going in his stead; and appreciate the fact that ol' Karen of KNYE, and Crystal Gayle have both given Dave their seal of approval - there is no Art.  Art is dead. He's been "dead" since he turned it all over to Heather, IMO.   

Heather is not really worth much at this point, beyond a few laughs. I'd like to see Keith kick her name-stealing ass, but after that, she can pretty much fuck off.

Pretty much I'm on the same page as you guys.
