You're not giving much to go on here.

Here's one that works just fine.

It kind of depends on your connections (standard stereo, optical, etc), your speakers (4ohm, 8 ohm, etc), whether you're hooking up a sub, space constraints, etc.

A number of people go with 2.1 computer speaker setup because it's easy, and generally, they sound really good.

Like this one

Finally, often, you'll want a separate volume control knob run to the outside of the cab somewhere. You can opt for a griffin powermate, but you can also hack the control module that came with your speakers (computer speakers typically will have one), or you can hack a mouse scrollwheel, like I did.
