Did he stop or just drive on through?

Maybe something like this? Though you do of course have to buy speakers, or, if you have ones already, make sure they connect up.

Interesting....

This is something like what I have now though (no amp required, and very good sound)

Or maybe these

TBH mate, if there's a Richer Sounds near you, go in there. They'll be best able to advise you and probably give you a good deal too. I used to deal with them a lot and I really trust them to know what they're talking about.

I just plug my speakers into my laptop and there's stereo.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Ok that's different. My first thought would be that there's going to need to be some extra unit in between. Then I googled it and found this thread:

https://www.techspot.com/community/t...-thanks.61179/

Especially this part seems worth noting:

"You cannot connect the speakers directly - your wee soundcard just doesn't have the output power needed. Well, unless the speakers have a builtin amplification system.

So instead you have to connect your monsterspeakers to some amplifying unit and then feed that from your laptop. You probably need a 3.5mm stereo male to dual RCA male cable to make the link from your lappy to the sound system. "
