Answer
Sorry =( That won't work. You will have to get a surround sound system that will take either digital coax or fiber optic.

You will also need to purchase him a fiber optic cable.

Here is an example of a surround system:

Answer
The logitech Z-5500 is made for a computers although you can hook it up to a home theater setup. I heard that it sounds better playing movies than music and that the subwoofer can sound pretty boomy. Its priced aroud $300 from reputable websites (newegg.com). Which i would recommend looking at seeing that there are nearly 1100 ratings posted on the Z-5500 alone. The Pioneer also has good ratings acording to pricegrabber. It appears that the Pioneer is much less expensive than the Z-5500, but I believe that the logitech system is THX certified.

Bottom Line: They both appear to be nice systems. You should do more research and make your own decision then.

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!

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