Using Internal Speakers - MBOX 2

[thopunk]

Hey. I am going to be getting a power book soon, and i was wondering if there is anyway to use the internal speakers of the mac.... or just regular desktop speakers with protools and the mbox 2. I assume i could get an 1/8" to 1/4" adapter, but that would mean it would be mono. i am just trying to avoid having to bring my huge monitors with me hah. any ideas? thanks!!

You could do this with some effort but the sound quality of built-in speakers on powerbooks is too awful to describe!
Any half decent headphones (or even small powered speakers) plugged in to your mbox would be about a million times better.

This has nothing to do with monitoring, but before you buy a powerbook make sure you look at the sticky on the front page "Mbox2 & Powerbook G4". My Powerbook has the USB power issue so I'm thinking of upgrading to a 002r. There's also more info here:
