any way i can turn standard stereo speakers with 8 gauge wire into pc speakers (3.5mm jack) ? like homemade way?

yeah you can get a cheap pair of headphones and cut the jack of and solder the wires to your speakers,but there wont be no sound amplifier so it might not be as loud as you would like

Ya it wouldn't be very loud at all... Especially being most headphones or computer speakers are actually 3.6ohms or less.

Honestly if you would like that, just get a receiver and run the output into it, and then let the receiver handle the speakers.

I agree you would have to have an amp. I have already attempted this and you will get VERY little sound.

very cheap on ebay...also can be found in radio shack.

so the RCA is going to amp, which goes to speakers...and the 3.5mm will go to soundcard (green port usually)...

just use a old aplifier wich has line-out jacks and connect red, and white onto it and line-in jack to ur line in connector of ur sound card.

I made my own wire using a headphone jack and two composite wires soldered them together and plugged them into my reciever and other in my soundcard and WORKS GREAT!!!!!
