Picking out an amplifier

[jimmy41]

Looking for a cheap amplifier that's compatible with the Yamaha YST SW012-Subwoofer and the Logitech Z120 Stereo speakers. Looking to have a 2.1 system.
Would this suffice: Lepy LP-168S
Also, could i avoid getting an amp altogether?

You don't need an amp. Your subwoofer is powered and your speakers are powered. All you need to do is get a signal to them.

How do i do that without an amplifier to connect both the speakers and the sub

Where is your signal coming from? As in....what are you trying to play?

Currently have the speakers hooked up to my PC. The only cable the sub has is a subwoofer cable which i can't connect directly to my PC

So what you have is probably a 1/8" stereo out on your PC. Use a splitter and split this into into two stereo outs. Take one of those stereo outs and split THAT into left and right and plug that into the speakers.

Take the OTHER stereo out and put that into a two channel line mixer (they aren't that much) . This will combine the signals into ONE signal for the subwoofer and connect the output of the mixer to the subwoofer.
