I have a Sony stereo that I got about 5 years ago. I was wondering if it is possible to use the speakers from this stereo with my computer. Anyone know how, or at least where to start or where to look? Thanks.

that depends on what connections you have on the stereo and what connections you have on your comp.

is there any inputs on your stereo for extenal devices to hook up to like a video player or something similar?

I finally was able to check on my stereo. There are only left and right audio out ports. Is there some sort of adapter I could use to hook it up to my computer?

without inputs you cannot play sounds through your stereo from the comp.

you would need some inputs like i say. of course i am assuming your speakers are powered by an amp that is part of your stereo and aren't individually powered which i would doubt to be the case.

I have a pair of old wood cased speakers with small oval speakers (like car speakers) with the two wire connections on the back. Is there a way I can use these through my computer?

Thanks in advance for your input,

You can, but you need an amplifier.
