.9Ok so in my house there is a small sound system and it used to run with a car stereo as its source, that car stereo has now been broken for almost 10 years and i thought i would do something about it so i can play some music from my laptop. the speakers are one 13x19 (oval) and one 12x12 (round) and they have 2 pole DIN pluggs on them and i want to play some music over those from my laptop, so what would i have to do and what should i use for this? i dont need the best gear ever, just something that works. im guessing i need a DAC and and amp or something like that but i dont know so i need some help here :) thanks for any replies and any help here :D

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Then you don't want stereo, you want it in mono
