Hello everyone, sorry if the questions are dum, but i can't figure out some things and I have a few questions.
1) I have these panasonics with wire connection input only as shown below in the pictures, can i connect them somehow to pc with adding usb for charge and 3,5mm for sound or do I also need an amplifier? Is anything i said possible?
2) I have these old speakers that work fine (picture below) but they charge from el. socket, can i make that they would charge from pc by usb? what else would i need beside changing the end of it?
3) I have these working speakers, but theyre very very quiet, but working tho, what would i need to change?
Sorry if any of the questions are not written correctly, im just starting out with this stuff and i thought i could buy some old speakers and try working on them. 🙂

The Panasonic speakers need an external amplifier to work. Something moderately powerful for best results, say 15 to 20 watts RMS.
The old speakers look as though they will have an internal power supply to charge them and so its unlikely you could modify them to charge from USB, as least not without designing some appropriate circuitry. I would say that's a non starter.
The little speakers are probably very inefficient and so need more power than you might think to get them to make much sound. I would guess an amplifier of a couple of watts RMS is needed for those.

How should i wire those both panasonic with an amplifier? The same question with those little speakers, i have 4 of those in 2 bunches of 2, would that mean i need a better amplifier?
Is trying to re=do the little speakers or panasonics worth it as a starter? I have like 8x5w 4ohm speakers that i'd like to turn in to a bluetooth speaker based off this Simple 10w Bluetooth Portable Speaker but more powerful.

The Panasonic speakers should each be wired to its own amplifier. A simple 'chip amp' would be ideal.
If you intend pulling the speakers apart to use the drive units then the important thing is to make sure that you don't overload any amplifier by connecting to low an impedance.
You can connect two pairs of 4 ohm speakers in series and make a series/parallel combination.
Those Bluetooth things are available pretty cheaply... is it worth trying to build one from scratch 🙂
