I have 2 normal speakers for stereo (you know the one with copper wires).
I was wondering if it was possible to connect them with my laptop ... prolly with a device. But which one ? is there a device that does that?
Something not too expensive.
Thanks,

You could wire then up but without an amp it wont be very loud at all. Im sure that a laptop only sends out 2 or 3 watts and that wont be nearly enought to power any desktop speakers.

You can get a small Jack plug (like the one needed to connect your speakers to your laptop), some small pieces of 2 core wires.
A small schedule of how you fix this:
Jack wire connectionblock
......./-------------# (don't mind the dots, those are for outlining)
--=-|
.......\-------------# (don't mind the dots, those are for outlining)
I know, it's kinda simple, but this is what you make. The connectionblock is simply one of those blocks you use to lengthen your wire.
If you ask in a electronic-parts store, they can tell you exactly what you need and how you make it, my guess it'll cost you maybe 5 dollar.
I can't explain it easier, your electronicstore can help you better on this
If your laptop output isn't strong enough, you can also get a jack2dual tulip cable, which you can connect to your stereo and use the extended option of your stereo

well... yeah, a connector from your laptop to your amp (jack to tulip) and it would be fine.... but well... an amp don't cost much!
