Just plug it into the line out plug of your sound card if it has it, otherwise use speaker out. And the other end into your amp. It will sound much better, esp. for gaming.	Guest (0)

You insert the 3.5mm end into your sound card and the 2xRCAs into you L/R of your amp. Preferrably the AUX input. Then you can crank up those MP3s.(sweet) Should you have a flasher sound card than me then you may need a different cable but the theroy is the same. ==Orac==	Guest (0)
