I think it would work if you could figure out a way to amplify the signal to those speakers. Being stereo speakers that are not amplified and with a computer they need to be or the signal would extremely low. If you can do that the connectors are available at Radio Shack.

yeah thinking it would be best to scrap the idea..lol....too much work for little effect i guess...and could become expensive...lol

i have a great solution for you. at a tech store you can buy a cord that goes in to ur onboard sound or sound card and plugs in to the white and red outlets on your stereo. i use a cord like that and i love it. i got mine for $20

Nonono. The red & white cables that go to the stereo which then amplifies the signal to the speakers. If xplosiv has the whole stereo, then yes, this could work. If xplosive only has speakers with wires and no stereo, then this will not work.

the speakers have to be powered, the speakers amp will be on the the back of the speaker or the back of the stereo..

I have a jvc basstube boombox hooked up with a 1/8 to 1/8 wire the stereo has a aux switch, I use that and 2.1 destop speakers to give me a 4.1... Covers my low range better
