I have 2 extra pairs of PC Speakers that have the 1/8 Audio plug, I was wondering if I can strip those and use them like speaker wire. They have there own powered amp built into them. Any suggestions?
Powered speakers like PC speakers cannot be connected to the speaker outputs on a receiver or amp. Sometimes one of the PC speakers is actually not powered - it is powered by the other speaker. In other words the amp is built into one of the speakers and the other speaker is just a normal speaker. The normal speaker can be connected to a receiver's speaker output connection. You will have to cut the 1/8 in connector off and strip the wire. It would be better just to go out and get a pair of normal speakers.
