Unlocking your speakers

Hello,
I recently installed some speakers on my PC that are only meant for a Hi-Fi system (it was broken, so I salvaged the speakers).
They have a 4 Ohm impedance and the sound is a bit weak.
Do you know how to "unlimit" the Windows sound so I can get it a bit louder?
(Like increasing it up to 400% of the initial sound would be great :) )
My operating system is Windows 10.

Hi,
If these are Hi-Fi speakers, it means they are probably passive speakers, which means they need to be amplified beforehand.

If the sound is only amplified by a poor line output from a PC, that will never be enough, that’s normal. The line output is designed to go into a preamp/integrated amp, or headphones that require very little current compared to Hi-Fi speakers.
You need to go through an amp.

How are the speakers connected? What is their model?
