It's in the Wiki. 

You haven't described your setup in any kind of detail, so...

Use amplified PC speakers.  Remove the speaker part.  Wire the remainder to the speakers in your cab.

That's a very short-short version.

I use little amplifier kits that I pick up and the electronics surplus store -- they're a couple of bucks and a bit of soldering and work pretty well.

The link that Blanka provides in the other thread is exactly the type of thing I am talking about and that price is pretty decent for a complete unit.
