AKAI SW-M70 Speaker: Connecting Bare Wires to PC

Solved

Hello,
Let’s go back a bit into antiquity... I have 2 AKAI SW-M70 speakers that I don't even remember when I bought them because it's been so long, and I haven't used them in a while. Initially, they were sold with a HI-FI system that is dead now. As a result, I have these functional speakers, but they don’t have S/PDIF, RCA, Jack, or any other output, as they are just speakers; they don’t have their own amplifiers. I only have two wires, one red and one black, which are stripped at the end. I would like to know if it is possible to find a Jack adapter and solder my wires to connect it to a PC via Jack. Do I need to use an amplifier, is it mandatory? Or is the voltage sent by the Jack enough to power the speakers? (Speakers with the reform of spelling :().

Thank you in advance for your response.

    Hi,

    You have to go through an amplifier.

      OK, but I don't know much about amps and I don't know which one is the best for what I want to do. Is a low-end one enough or not? How much does it cost approximately? I find very different prices...

      Any HIFI chain amplifier will work.
      Then for the connection, this is where it happens.

      A small one like this one should be enough.

      I edited my previous message.
      I found you a little bit more powerful one.
      Bluetooth also for the smartphone.

      Hi, the first one you sent me could also work, right?
      And from what I understand, I don't need to do any welding anywhere? I was a bit lazy to do that...
