Hi. I posted this in the "Best Portable Speakers" thread but this might help some people looking to get better sound than even one z305. This should work for any soundbar with 3.5mm input. The advantage to this setup is to get each speaker to be purely left and purely right, instead of each being a hybrid of both. Links in this post are simply for convenience. If you find other stores that work for you, please use them. I have no affiliation with any merchant.
Target stores and online have the z205 on sale for $15 each
Buy 2 and clip one on each side of your laptop screen. You can configure each one to be a dedicated left and right speaker with this setup:
- Plug a 3.5mm Stereo Male to 2RCA Male cable into your laptop's Headphone or Line-Out port.
- From that, plug the white (left) RCA Male jack to a 3.5mm Stereo Plug to RCA Jack Adaptor (get one for each speaker) and into the dedicated left z205.
- Do the same for the dedicated right z205.
Congratulations. You just got a pretty good, really loud portable speaker setup for around $40.
Note: If your speaker soundbars has a 3.5mm male jack, the plugs you're going to need are 2 Metal RCA Plug to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Adaptor and 3.5mm Stereo Plug/2 RCA Jack Cable. Then just plug them to each speaker accordingly.
