Help with connectors?

I want to add plugs to convert my old Bose speakers into computer speakers. Is there a connector that will let me thread the separate positive and negative leads into a single unit, to plug into the standard speaker connection on my desktop computer?

    If the bose speakers are normal unamplified speakers you cannot connect them to your computer directly - you need some type of amplifier or receiver.

    Cheap amp:

    Amplified speakers will have a power cord and will connect directly to the headphone jack on your computer. Since you said "old bose speakers" we probably can assume they are unamplified.

    To add to the previous answer there's also a controller that may be built into the system
