Yes. With a mini jack to av adapter

Orangu · Answer

No.The input is a a normal 3.5mm jack. The satellite speakers are connected by normal speaker wire, but the brains of the system are in the subwoofer.

The speakers use a standard bare-wire type connection so you can use them on an older stereo if desired. If you wish to utilize the subwoofer as well, I guess you could just plug the the whole kit into the headphone out port of the stereo.

I wouldn't wire it. If it has a headphone jack I would imagine it's 1/4 inch u can get a 1/4inch to 1/8 inch adapter to use this with it

I mean I could see someone being a good enough EE to make that work but it certainly wouldn't be an easy to do job.

Ryan · Answer

Yes any audio with a headphone output jack

You will need to buy a cable to convert from 1/8" to RCA. This system is really meant to connect to a computer. Sounds like you just need a set of speakers to connect to you amplifier.

If the stereo has jacks in the back of the unit that match the jack of the speaker system I don't see why not. However, most times from past experience generally the jacks if they have them are different. So in that case, you go and find an adapter from one jack type to another to make it work. Another consideration is that if the old stereo has a left and a right (2 jacks) and the new system only has one, you may have to have what I call a pigtail. The pigtail turns one jack into 2. Since I have no idea what system you have and cannot see the back of the old unit I can't tell. Hope this helps.

Yes. I've even wired them up in whole-home audio. They are more than happy to work with a stereo or even home theater system, if that's what you want to do with them.

CostConscious · Answer

They can only be connected to line (unamplified) outputs, NOT to speaker outputs. This system is already amplified. It can, however, handle preamplified outputs, such as those found on computers and headphone outputs found on TVs. Just be certain not to crank them up too high.

Only if that system has an RCA plug.
