I’m pretty sure all I need is an amp and speaker wire. I figure I could get a better amp sometime in the future, but for now would just get something cheap and basic.
I have my computer going into an amp incredibly similar to yours via a jack and then it goes out of the amp into my speakers. My uncle did it for me TBH. Maybe match up the red and black on each pair of speakers?
Just search “speaker cable” into where ever you are gonna get your amp from. You’ll need 2. One for each speaker
The amp will probably sound fine at low to mid volumes. Most people overspend on speaker cable. You don’t need monster cables unless you’re pumping a lot of power through them. Start affordably and upgrade as needed.
Another question, though, sorry: to connect the wire to the speaker do I just unscrew the plastic cylinder some, wrap wire around it, then tighten the cylinder back down? That’s a total guess, just from looking at it. Or do I need something else like special clamps? I know nothing about electronics, unfortunately. I was expecting to plug in the rca cables to the speakers.
Depends on your speaker connections but put speaker wire through the hole and tighten down. I’m not sure of the rating or anything but and not sure of the polarity but I think you could look that up online pretty easily.
Twist the other end of the wire (exposed bit), insert into hole, and tighten cap back up to secure it in place. The wire with a stripe on it is positive (red). The wire with no stripe is negative (black or clear connectors).
