May 3.5 mm earphone connectors nowadays have 3 wires
1 is the ground and the other 2 atre the left and right channel for the speakers...speakers
so what you need to do it connect both speaker grounds to the earphone ground and then the left speaker gets the left wire and then the right one gets the right.
This will let you connect the speakers to the computer
BUT!!!!
most pc sound system s are low signal, meaning they don;t have power to drive speakers over 8ohm
better yet would be to make or purchase a cable with the earphone on one end and the rca type plugs on it on the other...
this would let you connect the pc to the AUX or phono port on a stereo , do that and you got full stereo sound from what ever is playing on the pc, games , music, videos, ect...

Build a normal speaker cabinet, connect to a power amp. Connect the line from the computer to a preamp, preamp to power amp. I don't recommend building speaker cabinets unless you are intimate with acoustics. If you know the difference between the sound property differences between an open back or a closed back cabinet, then go for it. If not, steer clear.
