: :Can I just spice into the wire coming out of the speaker and insert a volume control from radio shack?

: You should put the volume control before the amp if possible. Since you're not using one, it really won't matter. Curious question: Why use 100 Watt speakers - most soundcards only put out 1.5 - 3.0 watts.

Just showing my ignorance. I have a sound blaster 16 I believe. Needed some speakers so I picked up some that I think said they are 100W and I assumed since they plug into a 110 outlet it had some kind of built in amp.

Thanks for your help. Especially the note that fans may not be needed.
