    Should be something in the handbook for the speaker, or the existing charger?

    There are two key things to watch out for ...

    1/ The right type and size of connector

    2/ The right polarity of connector (round connectors typically have a central pin - this pin can be either of the + or - connections, and it's important that this is the correct way around)

    Hi

    It's a SoundFreaq SoundStep. The review below confirms the 12v/2.1A power supply:

    That review confirms a 2.1 speaker system (2 satellites and a sub), it actually states that the power port is rated 12 volts @ 2.5 amps (so I'm guessing you need a PSU that is rated as such).
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it
  • Thanks for pointing that out Quiet Spark. I will double check it, when I get home.
