Need help with speakers

[andrew123]

I have 2 speakers with two sets of speaker wire each. They are the speakers part to this set rca RS2654. The middle part broke and I want to find a cheap something to be able to plug it into my computer and use them as my speakers, but i don't know what to get.

 

Thanks in advance

I'm assuming you mean the amp when you say "middle part" (the part with the CD changer and all the input/outputs).  Is the amp broken in the sense that it won't power up at all, or just won't play CDs?  If it powers up, you can probably get away with one of these and pass the audio through:

 

3.5mm (computer headphone jack) to RCA (inputs on the amp)

 

If the amp is completely dead, you could try to strip an old stereo headphone cable down to bare wires and run them directly to the speaker, but I doubt an on-board audio card will have the wattage to drive the speakers very well.  Check this video out for how to strip the headphone cable if you still want to give it a shot.

Something like that cable to go from the sound card out and then this to go in between the computer and the speakers:

Here is another good choice:  http://www.amazon.com/Lepai-LP-A68-Digital-Amplifier-Remote/dp/B00721Z1AE/ref=pd_sim_e_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0VEVJGFQ94G1D0E5RN2R

This is the cord you want to connect your computer to either of those amplifiers (make sure you get one that is long enough!): http://www.amazon.com/Dynex-Mini-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B0032JAG4G/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1427657201&sr=1-2&keywords=stereo+mini+to+rca

And some cheap speaker wire and you should be good to go (use the same wire that came with the speakers?)

Thank you and I still have the original wire from the speakers
