    Somebody pls. advise if there's such a thing as 'extension' speakers wires in the market to connect my computer speakers in a large room ?

    The std. speaker wires of myLOGITTECH speakers are quite short.

    Yeah just check what kind of cable you need...

    If you're unsure, just try to bring in a speaker to a local place (like a RadioShack) and they'll be able to hook you up with whatever you need. :)

    Hope this helps! :D

    Don't most of them use a headphone jack connector? If so, then you need a 3.5mm headphone extension cord. I think that's different from the RCA cable that MidnightSun linked to. I think you'd want something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-STE...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238829610&sr=1-1

    EDIT: Oh, I was thinking of the wire from your computer... but maybe you meant the wire connecting one speaker to the other... maybe it is the RCA cable then, but you'd have to check your speakers to be sure.

    Well, that depends on what type of speaker you're connecting it to. I know my friend something like that for his Logitech 2.1 set, but it'll probably differ for different models. What specific model is your speaker set?

    It all depends on what kind of speakers you're using and how far you need to go. I would suggest taking your speaker to a local Radioshack or Best Buy and seeing what they have there.

    I wouldn't recommend buying cables online. I've done it before and ended up not getting the right thing.

    The most used connection for this would be a 1/8" headphone jack into RCA.

    The 1/8" part is what plugs into the headphone port on the laptop, and RCA is the most universal audio in type for a amplifier or receiver.

    I have a Logitech Z-2300 set, and the speakers themselves connect to the subwoofer via RCA, so a standard RCA extension cable would work. The actual 3.5mm audio port connects to the volume/bass control unit, which in turn connects to the subwoofer via something that looks like a VGA cable.
