Connect a bare wire speaker system to xbox 360?

Hereru

I have an old 5.1 surround system (at least I think that's what it is--it has five speakers and a subwoofer) which I'd like to try and hook up to my 360. Problem is, it uses bare wire connectors and spring plugs. Are there any kinds of adapters or any possible way to connect it?

I do not have acces to soldering equipment, nor would I know how to use it.

Thanks in advance.

Answer
From your description it sounds like you have PART of a 5.1 sound system - the 5 speakers (+ subwoofer - the "point 1" part), but if they use "bare wire connectors" with spring clips on the speakers to grab the bare wires (not plugs), then you still need a 5.1 amplifier. The Audio Out from an Xbox 360 will not power those speakers, not with any sort of adapter. However, you need a small plane and the first answer is pointing you to a rocket ship to Mars. That is why there are quote marks (") around the word "adapter" - that is NOT any kind of adapter.
If your "surround system" actually does have an amp, all you need is to find out how it gets its signal - Xbox has a variety of outputs - your challenge is to find a cable system from the Xbox that matches your amplifier's Inputs. If you write back with Additional Details describing those inputs, or if all you really have is 6 speakers, either way let us know and we can go from there... Good luck!

Answer
To play 5.1, you need to connect the optical out from the xbox to the optical input on your speaker system.
