Answer 1

With a 3.5" stereo to RCA left and right adapter and either a receiver or integrated amplifier.  You will need an adequate amplifier to power your speakers.

Answer 2

simple man buy a amplifier hook your speakers to the amp buy one of those ipod to amp connections and instead of hooking it up to the ipod hook it up to the headphone jack of your computer this way you can always use the small speakers if you want without having to have the amp on all day

Answer 3

i am asuming that the black and red wires your talking about are speaker wires....? (nothing on the ends, just the striped off insulation exposing the copper wire....). speakers cannot be connected directly to you computer. they need an amplifier, a power source. your sound card in your computer does not supply the power, it only provides a signal (like a cd player needs to hook to your stereo). if you have a stereo amplifier, hook your computer to it via RCA cables. you will more than likely need an adaptor because your sound card on the computer is 1/8". you can get a 1/8" to RCA adaptor for a few bucks at radio shack, wal-mart, best buy....once the computer is hooked to the stereo, hook the speakers to the stereo and your in business.

Answer 4

visit Radio Shack.  They will have all the stuff you need...
