Where can I find speaker wires that end in a head phone jack?

Question

I have these two spare speakers that I have lying around, in the back they have the normal red/black speaker wire clamp inputs. I was hoping to be able to hook them up to a CD player which only has a headphone output, anyone know of where I can buy the speaker wires -> headphone jack?

Thanks

Answer 1

the headphone output is not strong enough to drive your two speakers, so don't do it.

Computer speakers (that match a headphone output) with and without amplification are real cheap now. Don't destroy your CD player.

Answer 2

radioshack, or if you have some old headphones like the factory 1's that you get from like those $1 radios you could cut the end off where the earphones are and strip the wires and plug em into the input jacks. also CD players arn't supposed to power speakers so if you have a power supply that comes with the speakers that would be great or else you would get barely anything from a big speaker but you still might hear some-cant hurt to try. also if it does have a supply you can plug a headphone splitter so it goes to both speakers or just add some wires from the input from the speakers and output them to the 2nd speaker.

Answer 3

Several SONY branded speakers right now are cheap and usually have a headphone jack, that's how I hook up my iPod to my speakers.

The othre place to take care of it is Radio shack.. I have purchased the connection converters to go from RCA to headphone and other size jacks of that design. You want a set up similar to this "y cable"..
