Which cable do I need to hook up the Audio Out on my computer to my Boombox which has a Audio In Input?

Question

I need a cable around 10ft long to connect my computer to my boombox speaker. The boombox has a Audio In input.
I usually shop on Ebay but there are so many different types there. Can you tell me which one I should buy on Ebay?
thanks in advance

Answer 1

hard to answer that without knowing what kind of ports you are hooking too..
here is a site that offers cables..
find that one that looks like what you need and visit a local store that carrys it

Answer 2

The audio out jack that your speakers plug into is what you will use. That should be a standard 2.5 mm stereo jack. Your boom box should have about the same or just use it's ear phone jack. The cable is not critical so you could use ordinary speaker wire and a 10 ft. length with banana plugs on the ends should not be that hard to find.

Answer 3

FIRST YOU HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT CABLE ENDS YOU WILL NEED....ODDS ARE YOU WILL NEED A CABLE THAT HAS3.5 MM CONNECTOR ON BOTH ENDS...BUT YOU NEED TO CHECK..TRY AN RCA WIRE IN BOTH..IF IT FITS IN EITHER YOUR COMPUTER OR STEREO THEN YOU MAY NEED A 3.5MM TO RCA JACK CONNECTOR..ITS EASY TO FIGURE OUT
