I understand I need to buy speaker wire to connect these to each other. How do I connect the speakers to my laptop?

You can't. They are not powered speakers. You will need a separate amplifier

They're passive speakers so you'd need an amplifier between your computer and your speakers. I use an Onkyo 8255 receiver/amplifier, which my computer is connected to (laptop 1/8" jack into RCA jack using an adapter).
246871
you would need an amp and connect the speaker wire from the amp to the speakers
246872
Well you would need to first hook it up to a receiver and then get a left/right male aux to male aux and plug it into your laptop.
246873
You need a receiver (with a built-in amplifier) and then a connection from your laptop to the receiver. These are not powered speakers. The speaker wire connects to each speaker and then to the channels in the back of the receiver.

Your laptop needs to have a sound output 3.5mm, find a cable that is male 3.5mm to red and black/white output male.

They're just speakers, they need to be connected to an amp. You could connect a wireless receiver to that amp that could receive signals from the laptop. They can't do it on their own. They can't do anything on their own.

These speakers do not come with wires. To connect them to amplifier/receiver you'll need wires, which is usually the case with any stereo system. Regarding the computer - I'm afraid that a typical sound card of a computer/laptop will not supply enough current to make these speakers work.

Not sure if ur laptop has HDMI connection, but If you are using DVI to HDMI connection from the laptop then you need another audio cable(stereo/RCA).

from the source to the speaker or the one from 1 speaker to the other. it is hard wired to one speaker power and audio and removable audio wire to the second speaker. I guess you could add an extension audio for between the second speaker or the computer or both, but need a female plug at one end to do so. t he plugs are the standard type (green plug )

The are connected to a wire. There is a external amp that you plug in and the speakers connect to that.

You would need to run a cable from the laptop headphone jack to the speaker dock. The cable is included.

As Michael said then you cannot hook the speaker up directly from your "Laptop To Speaker" But all you have to do is have a receiver or an amplifier as well. It would work like this "Laptop To Receiver To Speaker" ... in this case, you just get a cable like this (http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Audio-Cable-12-foot/dp/B000067RBT/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y) which connects your Laptop to Receiver. and then you use normal speaker wire from Receiver To Speaker It is the came setup as mentioned above if you use an amplifier use a receiver if you want to also be able to listen to FM/AM radio, and plan to hookup more things like a DVD Player, TV etc. it gives you more options to hookup more things, but it usually gives out less Watts. You still would be able to get a good sound out of the speaker this way. Use an amplifier if you just plan to hookup only your laptop. An amplifier gives less options of hookup many things, but it usually gives out a lot more Watts, so you would get more power/base/sound of your speaker. (one like this would make it kick ass, but less can do it as well (http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PPA450-Channel-Mount-Amplifier/dp/B0010KAJKU/ref=pd_sim_e_30) Hope it helps :-)

If yoou want to use these speakers wirelessly then it needs to have bluetooth. If your PC does not have bluetooth then you will need a USB bluetooth adapter. But the speakers have a mini stereo jack on the back so you can use a cable instead of using bluetooth.

The best option would be to get a usb interface. You can find a decent one for around $100. Then you could just get a couple 1/4" TRS cables and run those from the speakers to the interface, then connect the interface to your computer with usb.

The speakers have two cords that will need to be plugged-in to function: 1) the USB cable which will power the device, and 2) the 3.5 mm audio cable, which needs to be plugged-in to your computer or other audio devices' audio-out or headphone jack (to get the audio data to stream out the speakers). Hope that helps!

You need an audio interface. Usually plugs in via USB. The. The speakers can conect to that. They connect via 1/4 inch cables. An interface will run you about 200 for a cheap one that's good enough.

That is the correct way to connect the speakers. After you connect the two speakers, using the XLR cable, make sure both power buttons are on. Then check the level knob on both speakers.

You would need to provide speaker inputs. You can run the audio out of your computer into a inexpesive amp, and them from the amp to the speakers. It works quite well.

No they can not connect directly to your laptop. They do require a stereo amplifier.

You can hook this up to your laptop if it had an HDMI display port, AND you intend to use a VGA monitor. I had a micro HDMI port on mine so I had to use a micro HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect my laptop to the unit. You will need a separate 3 mm male-to-audio cable to connect your laptop headphone jack to your speakers.
