    Just RCA to RCA cable is it

    Looking at those speakers, I can tell you right now that even if you do manage to connect them to your controller, they’re going to sound awful- if you can hear them at all. The level of signal coming out of your controller is minimal, and speakers that are meant to connect to it are either connected through an audio interface that has an amplifier or monitor speakers that have their own internal amplifier. Those speakers that your friend has do not have a built-in amp.

    Also, there’s a not-zero chance that you might damage your controller by directly connecting it to such speakers.

    Sadly, it doesn’t appear that the amp that comes with those speakers has an aux-in of any sort. If it did, you’d have a way to get the sound out of your controller and into the speakers. I didn’t see any extra RCA jacks on the back.

    While I’ll second Lorie’s concern about the quality of the speakers, I have to disagree with the observation that the amp has no aux-in/RCA.

    The systems is 2.1, meaning two satellite speakers and one subwoofer. The 4th box is the amp/cd player/tuner/etx.

    According to the LG website:

    In/Outputs:
    USB 2
    Portable In Yes
    AUX In (L/R) Yes (1)
    Speaker Out System Jack
    FM Radio Antenna Yes

    So, yes to AUX In. And in the picture showing the back of all 4 units (like in the link in the OP), you can see the relevant RCA connectors to the right of the antennae connector.
