Can I connect audio speakers using bell wire type cable to a phono connector? My aim is to simply plug speakers into my dvd using phono connectors on the end of this bell type wire. What I am unsure about is that phono connectors expect a single core cable with shielding. Alternatively how can phono type connectors with ready connected cables be connected to the speakers?
Sorry for the lack of audio finess.

Are you sure you want to do this? Doubtful the DVD player has sufficient wattage to drive speakers to any reasonable listening level. Might be better using quality headphones if your DVD player has a headphone jack. Or alternatively, seek a relatively inexpensive av receiver. I think you can accomplish what you ask, but do you really want to?

Dale's right....

You wont be able to run speakers off a DVD player without a power source. You're better off running the audio into your TV or using headphones if you dont have a receiver.
