make my computer speaker work for my bike

computer speakers have a small 1/8" stereo jack that can be plugged into a variety of items, including but no limited to: ipods, walkmans, discmans, gameboys, etc. etc...
so you would need something like that to plug into your computer speakers
all decent computer speakers also require their own power, this would mean that you'll be lugging around a big battery pack, that part would suck unless you found something light weight, supplying power for a few hours would be the biggest problem with this, probably easier to just use a battery powered boombox

yea, it would require you to lug around a 12v battery with a 12v-120v adapter to power a set of speakers normally plugged into your wall.

You can also use one the quick jump start car starter portable thingies. On the front is a cigarette lighter plug. Then go to the radio shack store and get the car cigarette light adapter to regular house plug-in. You want it to be high amps like 900 - 1000 amps output.
Plug-in your computer speakers and roll. Most them you get a wall plug-in that will charge it. Not sure the life time verses a 12 volt battery but i have seen this method done before and it lasted least 2 hours....
Done pretty much the same weight as a twelve volt motorcycle battery.
They make speaker tubes that fit into you water bottle holder target / cvs / wall mart. They take like 4 - 8 triple batteries.
