Speaker Setup

I was just wondering if there was a way to hook up speakers from a radio (standard 3-5 disk changer) to my pc. The wire on there now is just regular speaker wire. The speakers are rated 3 ohm's. Or the speakers from the old surround which are rated at 50w and 8 ohm's.

Is there any way to hook up regular stereo speakers (home stereo) to my PC which are rated at 3 ohms? They just have regular speaker wire. Also could my surround sound speakers which are rated at 8 ohms and 50w work? Any suggestions would help.

Thanks,
John

What I've done here is connect up two floor standing Wharfedale speakers to my laptop by a wire plugged into the earphone socket [with the proper jack-plug] and then into an old sony amplifier which then goes to each speaker. I don't know how "technically correct" it is but it works ok and the volume is unbelievable
If you have a line-out socket...even better.
