Chosen Solution
I have these old Altec Lansing computer speakers. I would like to use them but the connects do not match anything on my computers. Any ideas on how I can rewire these (new connectors?) so that they can be plugged into my computer? The only two connectors/wires coming from the speakers are the ones shown. Thanks
Update November 5,2017 Here are more images as requested by Oldturkey. Thank you Oldturkey for your time and help. You are correct, it is the VS4221. Still not sure if this is going to work but hoping to avoid throwing these speakers away. Also, do not want to spend much money to make these work - I know this is a tricky balance. I have not used a multimeter yet but I wanted to share these images in case this helps. I am a high school teacher so my time to get projects like this done is very limited, but I will try to work on it a little at a time.

@teamstarr these are most likely speakers that require a power source but definitely not 110V. You would have 2 wires for each speaker (in the 3.5mm plug) as well as possibly power lines. I suggest you try to open those speakers (not the DIN connector) and check how the wires are connected. Then use a meter and measure from the wire to the connector and identify the contacts by testing for continuity. Again once we know what exact model these speakers come from we may find more information. Let us know what you find and you can always post some images of what those connections look like. To use these speakers you will need some sort of amplifier to power them. I am certain there is some sort of Bluetooth module you can get to convert those speakers but that might be a bit of work and may cost a bit of money. Great DIY project….
