Nope. I have no info on any of that. If it doesn't work I won't be
out too much as this is either old or cheap stuff. I'm just trying to
get some extra mileage out of this old gear.

Are you sure of the ohms and matching speaker sensitivity? There may
be other considerations before I'd rush over to Radio Shack and start
chopping wires. IMHO, not a good idea to mix speakers unless you're
prepared for a negative outcome. Good luck!

I have my old Pro Media 5.1 speaker set sitting over in a corner.
I stopped using it years go when the bass unit quit on my (IIRC).
I have an old laptop and an iPod that I'd like to use in a room to
get music (using one or the other, not both at once). On the laptop
I want to use the headphone jack and want to do the same with the iPod.
I have a cheap set of Logitech speakers (< $30). It comes with a
bass unit that has an amplifier built in. So I can use the 3.5 mm
stereo connection from either the laptop or iPod to feed this set.
It works fine as it is but the speakers leave a lot to be desired.
There is a 3.5 mm stereo connection coming from the back of the sub
that branches to each speaker over single wires and is a permanent
connection. I'd rather not destroy these speakers, as they are
better than nothing.
What I want to do is replace the cable that goes from the sub to the
speakers and use the Pro Media speakers. So it needs to be 3.5 mm
stereo on the sub end but it needs to branch to two two-wire
connections to drive both left and right channel speakers.
How can I make this connection? Is there a cable I can buy or should
I get a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm patch through and start cutting and splicing
wires? I've never been into one so I'm not 100% sure it will be an
easy hack.
