How to connect ordinery speaker to a computer??

How to connect ordinery speaker to a computer(speaker with a red and black wire to connect)??

Answer:

Is the ordinary speaker amplified? Does it plug into the wall? If not you will need an amplifier as a computer only provides line level outputs. Then you will need a headphone jack to RCA style adapter. Plug the headphone end to the computer and the RCA to the receiver/amplifier. Amplifiers designed for computers are rated at 4Ω and are unsuitable for ordinary 8Ω speakers. Hope this helps!
You need a buy a jack plug. The inner part of the terminal is positive (red wire) and the outer part is negative. or simply buy a ready made wire with jack plug standard size ( be sure that it is stereo) then just connect the wires accordingly. If you have a soldering tools, the better. Use electrical tape to seal the wires.
