I think these are the ones on the back of my hifi amp. Basically you don't need terminated wires to plug into them - as in, the end is just a stripped wire with copper exposed, you stick them into the terminals and snap them in place. They're p. helpful because you can use pretty much any audio cable if you cut the connector off the end of it. Don't go doing that until you know that's actually what these inputs are, though.

You're gonna need some some higher gauge wire. Go buy some speaker wire from the hardware store, and connect it with the end of a headphone cable, close to the jack. Make sure the impedance matches and it should work fine.
Are you serious? You must be under 12 not to know what that is. [editline]06:15PM[/editline] put the red wire in the red input, Same goes for black.

You get a normal 2-wired cable, doesn't matter what it's for as long as it's got 2 cables.

The isulation of the cable doesn't do anything, so you can use a pink and a poison-green cable if you want, as long as it's hooked up similiar on the amplifier.
You'll need an amplifier if you want to use them on your computer.
