    I have a goodmans stereo system and i want to connect the speakers of it to my desktop. is this possible? I have analog and co-axial areas to insert audio devices but the wires from the speakers are just black and red copper wires with no audio jack. is there a way they can be wired up without paying loads for speakers? thanks

    you'll need to go through some sort of amp. More than likely these speakers will need more power than can be provided from your PC.

    You could try soldering a 3mm jack onto the ends of the speakers and plug them in but if you aren't handy with a soldering iron, just hook up the speakers to your stereo then plug in your pc to the stereo via the aux connection (if it has one that is) with one of these

    you need to get one of those adapters I linked to. It will go from a 3mm Jack to 2xPhono leads, which you'll plug into the back of your stereo.
