How to hook up speakers to my computer?

**Knee of Justice** · 09-16-13, 10:22 PM

I don't mean to sound like a noob here, but I just got some good speakers and I don't know how to hook them up to my computer. They didn't come with any cables and I dont know what kind to get.

Amazon.com: Pioneer SP-BS21-LR 80-Watts RMS 2-Way Speakers (Pair): Electronics

These are the speakers I have. If anyone can explain how to get these to work on my computer, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

EDIT: I've also heard that you need to have a receiver to work the speakers. I have two amplifiers but I dont know if they can be used. If I could hook up an amplifier in conjunction with the speakers that would be awesome.

Show me the back of the speakers.

I am pretty sure you need some type of receiver to push power to them. Your PC is the source but no way it has the power to run them on its own.

I would not buy a receiver unless you're planning on buying non-powered speakers.

I bought just an amp, because I have limited space on the shelf than I plan on using..but...if space isn't an issue...then, yeah get a receiver.

ALSO...buy ALL of your cables here:
HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking, USB, Firewire, Printer Toner, and more! - Monoprice.com

I made the mistake of buying all Monster Cable b/c I had forgotten about monoprice.
