No you are not. You should never use Windex on your computer! You are better off using towelettes and using a feather duster would be better cleaning for your keyboard, speakers, and monitor.

Whether you are cleaning it the «right way» is really up to you. Depending on the material each of the components you are cleaning is made, you may want to switch cleaners.
If your subwoofer and/or other speakers are housed in wood, you may want to use furniture polish (e.g. Pledge, Endust). All the things that are made of plastic and metal are okay to clean with Windex.
Naturally, your biggest concern is getting a liquid inside the electronic components in your computer. But, as long as you don't get liquid inside your computer, you'll be alright.

The main thing is to keep liquids out of the electronics.
On the monitor, you may be OK, but I would read the docs as some cleaners can damage the screen and/or any factory coatings on the screen.
