Hi guys,

So I have an Infinity Entra 1 Subwoofer and speakers, but I'm going to use the subwoofer for my computer because I already got a speaker. Problem is, I can't tell what type of cable this is because I am looking for an adapter to connect from "whatever this is to a 3.5mm audio connector." This end of the 3.5mm will connect to my C/Sub in the back of my motherboard.

Here are the images if you can identify what type of cable this is.

I just only want to know what kind of cable this is. For your information, this is the same on one end of the connector where it is plugged into the subwoofer and the other that is currently plugged into the TV (or in this case, it used to cause we upgraded our speakers to a new current generation soundbar speaker style). I am wanting this subwoofer because they are not using it and why spend another hundreds of dollars on a new one when this is still in good shape, sounds good, and is just a cheap upgrade to buy an adapter. That is my plan.
 
Solution
So buy another sound card or buy an amp that can drive 2 sets of speakers.

Note that you motherboard will not be able to drive the sub-woofer directly as it does not have the power.

You will need some sort of active amplifier.

(Your desktop speaker has a built in amp).

So it's an RCA Male connector huh? I guess that is what I need. Would you recommend a 2 RCA to 3.5mm audio because I have two RCA plug?

And since I have two RCA already plugged in which is for the left and right speakers, but my other problem is that I already got a small speaker on my desk which is plugged into my line out in the motherboard.
