Make enclosures for the Alpine's and run them off a receiver which you just hook to your audio out on the PC

OR

the DIY route: Use the Logitech amps/crossovers to power the Alpine's still making enclosures for them.

also have to check the impedance of the speakers. Most home audio receiver/amplifers don't run below 4 ohms. If the alpines were 2 ohms it'd be a no no

whats the model?

edit: X230 Found it..

Ok well the amps on that little system run at 4ohm. You will want more than the 12WRms (if you are lucky) that Logitech claims it does.

What are the model numbers of the Alpines?

I had a set of Infinity Reference 6.5 comps I had around the house and hooked them up to a older Kenwood Reciever for power. The signal came in from the computer via a wire (3.5 mini plug on one end, and a pair of RCAs on the other) that I got from Radio Shack. Even without an enclosure, they sounded wonderful and loud as hell.

I watch DVDs in my room all the time, and my stock computers speakers was not cutting it. Main problem I had was crossing them over. I use Windows Media Player's EQ to clean up the sound a lil bit and remove some of the lower frequencies but I really need some active crossover to really make it shine. I also got a AA assassin 12 that im goin to get reconed and use as a sub in the room as well.

The whole deal cost me little or nothing. I bought the reciever from my uncle for about $20. F-Mod Rca plug in crossovers should work fine and offer something to clean up the sound a lil bit.
