alright since my laptop has shit the bed i have no music out here in the living room it blows.

i have working speakers though... how would i go about hooking those speakers up to my laptop here. what kind of converter or jack or... plugs... or thingies would i need from the source or something

i have no idea about this kind of stuff humor me

[dalamar501]

what kind of speakers are they?

[keith.]

umm theyre older than me. huge JVC bastards. just with the red/grey wire cord plugging into them that went into my reciever

[dalamar501]

you are going to need some kind of receiver to power those speakers then..
laptop i don't think will be able to power that. Would have to be laptop to receiver to speakers

might be another way... but that's all i can think of

yea i tried putting my ipod into the reciever last night but to no avail. i just have some mp3 cord jack thing that i use on cdplayers at work but no dice on my olddddd reciever

really? that is odd

if you have a 1/8th inch to 2 rca usually that works with most receivers

2. was teh volume turned up?
3. was the laptop on?
4. was the laptop volume turned up?
5. does the cable/cord work with other devices?

[keith.]
