I want to get the best sound possible out of my PS2. It's connected via. component cable and through a VGA box to my PC monitor. I could possibly connect a speaker like this and get good sound and that should be easy to do with the audio connects of the component cable.

Spoiler

However, I also wanna connect another speaker of mine that has those cables:

Problem is, I don't know how to do the later at least, I am really rubbish at this, so I hope someone can help me with this and perhaps tell me an even better method to get the best sound out of my setup.
I really need good quality audio from this.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure the PS2 has an optical digital audio port. If your audio system has an optical input you can use a TOSLink cable for the highest quality sound connection (I.e. 5.1 Dolby sound for titles that support it)..

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

PS2 has optical out as well as a good-quality headphone jack.

You need 2 of these to split left and right audio channel (RCA Female to Dual 2 RCA Male cable )

and 2 of these for your additional speaker

 

[Bartski]

get a female to male RCA extension x2 and instead of plugging the red and white cable to the VGA box - extend them and plug them directly to the speaker amp in on the pic you posted

Ehm, what are those?
Have I mentioned I am rubbish at this?

Ah, it's a Slim. It got the digital out though.

already like that, the red and white should plug into the speaker. its the additional speaker that I worry about.

x2 audio RCA Female to Dual 2 RCA Male cables - use them to split left channel and right channel of your PS2 component audio cables into two. Then you end up with x2 RCA male ends for left channel and the same for the right one. Connect one set of L and R ends to your main speaker and another one to your additional speaker using couplers.

Be sure that cables are long enough for your desired setup.

[Woggleman]

Get some good component cables for good sound and picture. Actually the PS3 ones work pretty well and they are not hard to find.

It does not make sense. You need to split each audio channel (L and R) of the component PS2 cable to have two L outputs (connect one to main speaker and the other one to additional speaker) and two R outputs (the same here).

Anyway why do you want to have two sets of speakers connected to PS2? It won't provide you a 4.1 system.

Ah, lets just say I got my reasons.

I think I get it now though. I need two couplers, two of those rca splitters and four rca male to male cables.

I will get those and show a picture if everything is set and done. Thanks!
