I bought two speakers with the left right setup. is there a converter so i can connect them to my radio?

Question

the speakers have the red and white holes. they come with the copper wires, but they dont work with my radio. i was wondering if there was a converter so i can put the wires in and connect it to my radio headphone jack

Answer 1

The red and white holes are the positive and negative for the speaker wire.  As for hooking them up to a headphone jack the short answer is no.  The headphone jack does not put out enough watts to drive the speakers.  You can add an external amp into the mix which would definitely do the trick.  You can pick them up at radioshack for fairly cheap.

Answer 2

Your reference to "red and white holes" is a little cryptic, but I'm guessing your speakers are unpowered. In that case NO headphone jack converter will drive them.

Please let us know what speakers you have so we can be more sure.
