What kind of cable???? What kind of splitter????
"Conected 6" splitter to speaker mic outlet a"
I assume you the line output jack here.
Since this is audio you will need a 25' audio cable that has a 3.5mm plug on one end and RCA plugs on the other.
most cables like this are only 6' so you may have to extend it or make your own. John

I bought on Ebay a 25' Stero Dual RCA Male to Male X2 audio cable. Also on Ebay bought a 3.5mm Headphone mini audio Y Splitter 1 male & 2 female. I was to used the splitter w/ the speaker outlet on comp speaker. The 25' has 2 RCA males on each end. I tried to used the splitter w/ sound card (Sound Blaster) and share w/ speakers. I hope all this is not too confusing. I could email a pic of what i bought on Ebay. Or I could take pics myself and send them to you. Hope this helps. ODIE
