I don't know if its possible but i imagine it should be.

I've got a fairly nice set of old un-powered speakers.
i've got a pair of powered stereo speakers
My pc motherboard supports 5.1 audio

The unpowered set use seperate mono 3.5mm jacks, i want to
a) power them/use an amp
b) mod the inputs into a single stereo jack(i have a donor jack)

My current idea is remove the amp from an old hi fi place it a smaller box
and plug both speakers into it, from there the box is plugged into a power
source and the pc via a stereo jack.

i know you might ask why don't you buy a set, well i'm bored, and need
something to do for two weeks other than revise for exams, plus i don't
really need em, i just wanna give it a try.

i appreciate any and all advice

thanks

Why not, if the amp is suitable for the speakers. However, I would
advise against the the stereo jack since you run the danger of
shorting the amp if you don't do it right.

I do not understand. You say you are connecting inputs to inputs?
Why do you need a splitter?

Is the output from the computer mono or stereo? (Not the plugs, the
signals.)

Is the amp stereo?

You do have a pair of speakers, right?

OK, now also describe the output jack(s) of the computer, the input
jack(s) of the amp, the output connectors of the amp and the input
connectors of the speakers. This should be an easy task.
