How to connect double (pin push) loudspeakers to mini jack

[Michkin]

Hello.

It is my first message on this forum so I hope I chose the proper subsection. If it is not the case I apologize and hope that moderators can move the thread to the right place.

Recently I purchased a good pair of second hand loudspeakers with the idea of using them both with my laptop and a DJ controller. The guy gave me as well the wires he used with them, which look pretty good quality but have no connectors at the ends as the connection to each of the loudspeakers, as well as to the stereo he had, is made through pin push connectors in both cases. So basically now I have two "red" cables and two "black" cables.

The DJ controller is not much of a problem, as the audio output is made through a couple of RCA connectors, but for the laptop I need to end up with a mini jack. I wonder how can I reduce these 4 cables to a single connection without loosing sound quality.

My first approach would be to place a male RCA on each of the four cables and then, through two adapters, merge both "red" RCAs into a single one, and same for the "white" RCAs. Afterwards, through another adapter, merge these red/white RCAs into a male mini jack to be connected to the laptop. This seems to be the most straight-forward solution, but implies using up to three adapters and I am worried about the final quality of the connection.

Also, as I am currently living abroad, I have not tools available at home to build some sort of box where merging a 4-pin-push connector into a single jack or similar, which could be the best solution.

Can you think of anything better than this?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Loudspeakers are a pair of Kenwood LS-G6 and the laptop is a Lenovo L390, in case that helps.

It is not likely you can connect these speakers as you hope. The two-wire per speaker suggests that these speakers do not have their own internal amplifiers. OTOH, the RCA outputs (two for stereo) and the minijack output (stereo or mono?) suggest strongly that these devices do not have amplified outputs. Thus, you must have an amplifier to connect them to the speakers.

This is, of course, speculation on my part because you do not offer any identification of the specific speakers or electronics.

I edited now my message to include information on the loudspeakers and laptop. My apologies.

If it is as you suggest I may better think of selling them as it is not worth it for me in this case to get an amplifier. Thank you for your quick answer, Kal.

Yes, you will need an amp for these and I agree that they are likely not worth the cost of buying one.
