Active speakers have separate audio and power inputs. They each have a power cable going to the wall in addition to a cable going to the media device. They do not require an external amplifier.

Passive speakers only have one combined audio/power input. Most speakers are passive and require an external amplifier.

For a home theater setup, I have been recommending a 3.0 + receiver setup for years to my friends. My friend finally purchased a center channel and wishes he would have done it years ago.

Home theater receivers like this one are 4k HDR HDMI switches and amplifiers built into one. You would plug your media devices into your receiver and switch between them using the receiver instead of the TV. I do not recommend using an analog stereo amplifier in a home theater setup - buy a good current generation 5.1 receiver and you won't have to replace it unless it breaks or until HDMI goes away.

After picking up a receiver, you would need some speaker wire and then some passive speakers to pair with it (like OP). Connecting the speakers to your receiver is as simple as connecting red to red and connecting black to black.

Post script: Most media now is produced primarily with 5.1 mixing, meaning that the dialogue is engineered with the assumption that a dedicated center channel speaker is present. Your sound will be way more clear if you were to buy a receiver and stereo speakers compared to built-in TV speakers, but there is a massive massive difference once you are able to listen to the proper 5.1 sound mix when using stereo + center channel setup. Ever felt like you needed to turn up the sound to hear the talking and then turn it down once a chase/shooting scene started? That ends when the characters can talk through a center channel speaker.

As others have suggested, /r/zeos is a fantastic audio resource. I've been extremely happy with all the gear I've purchased from his recommendations.

I just looked over the TV and it does indeed have Left and Right analog out.. So you are good to go with just a set of RCA cables and some standard speaker wire.

Also, will this meter be ok to measure the current?

This should work nicely then. http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-16AWG-Speaker-Wire-Feet/dp/B0044YPN0A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1420464626&sr=8-5&keywords=speaker+wire When wiring the speakers up, just make sure you go red port to red port and black to black.

Use the Front Left, Center and Front right outputs on your stereo. Once you're all done wiring, play with the settings on your receiver to just use those three speakers, so you're not loosing any sound on 5.1 DVD/CDs.

The big question now is are the RCA outputs variable? If they are simple mini amp would do you just fine. If they are not then you'll have to get one that has a remote. Honestly the best way to go would be a refurb AVR. Here are some options for you.

  1. Refurb AVR - Pioneer VSX530 $130 - Best for expansion and sound quality. Lots of options for inputs.

  2. Stereo receiver - Sony STRDH130 $120 or a Sherwood 4208 $110- only slightly less than the refurb AVR but with no digital inputs and only 2 channels. This does have a remote and is closer to your budget.

  3. Mini amp - Lepy 2020 $35 or SMSL SA50$65 - Most of them don't have remotes so you'll want to check to see if you have variable outputs. They small and cost effective but lack some basic features like tone control and usually only have one or two inputs.

    For wire anything basic will work just fine. Something like this speaker wire $12 will work just fine.

Yes, they are 6.5 inch.

I think I've come to the decision that I'm only going with one pair of speakers. I think it will be better to invest the extra money in only one pair.

I've never heard of incriminator audio before, I'll have to do some research.

Also, as for the speaker wire that I will be using. Would 16awg be okay?
I have some 100ft of this
