« on: March 26, 2011, 06:23:48 pm »
I'm getting a cabinet with working speakers. Is it possible to hook them to my computer's sound card?

You can take the audio line out from the pc to an amp, like a car amp or maybe an amp out of a cheap pair of pc speakers and then out to the cab speakers.
There are some things to look for such as the load that the amp can have (8 ohm, 4 ohm, etc.)
