[Audiophile's] How do I....

[KGB1]

Connect these Speakers from an old 3 piece boom box to my Computer's rear speaker out?

I have:
speaker wire
analog phono plugs
wire cutters

Anything I'm missing? Can it be done? Any help is well appreciated

yeah you're missing an AMP.

Unless the speakers are amplified, you can't.

WAHHH! :Q I thought this was gonna be a piece of cake..
What do I need to do this stuff. I just want 2 more speakers on my 2.1 yamaha computer speakers.

Amp? Umm can you recommend a good one?

What's the wattage rating on those speaks?

Why do you want two more speakers on a 2.1 setup?

 

[fs5]

they don't look like quality speakers. Buy some new ones as an amp will probably cost more.

whats the wattage rating of those speakers?
Rated Power = 50w
Max power Handling Capacity = 100W
Impedance = 6ohms

Why do want twomore speakers on a 2.1 setup?
Do you really have to ask? I just want to put good use to them. My sister gave it to me because she is only using the "middle part" for herself.

It's a SHARP CP-HP500 model seems pretty reasonable to me. Has a 5' woofer and a 2" tweeter. Looks in good shape.. considering my sister got it last week.

Hmm... would this be Suffice? I live about 45 minutes (by train) away from the store. Is $150 a good deal and can it be hooked up to my computer?


(or I can get a Logitech z640 Speakers + 6.1 sound card for about the same price) and have the speakers left over...

like I said the amp will cost you more unless you can find one second hand. z640 will probably give you better sound too.

 

[amnesiac]

Yeah either find a really cheap, cruddy amp or buy new powered speakers, because those aren't worth spending money on.

Never heard of no five-foot woofer... That would be an infrawoofer...
