Converting Speakers

[Ninot]

Hello all,

mikeblondin has some old but good stereo speakers. Better sound quality than my PC speakers, but they are the copper-type wire connection. Is there any type of conversion mikeblondin can make to them so mikeblondin can plug them into a sound card? Either by things mikeblondin can find around the house, or by buying something.

Or must mikeblondin buy some kind of home stereo kit that can plug into a sound card?

You have to have an amplifier between the sound card and the speakers. Otherwise there´s no sound at all... I assume you have only one set of speaker out on your stereo amp? Otherwise it´s just a case of connecting your soundcard via cable to your stereo amp and draw an extra pair of speaker cables from the secondary speaker out to your comp speakers.

You need a cable that looks like this btw. The single connector plugs into your soundcard and the other two into your amp.
