Computer speakers --> bedroom extension cable?

[dmbphan041]

Let me start by saying I know this is a ridiculous question, but it needs to be asked so I can get my Dad off my back. He (and I) are wondering.

How/what kind of extension to run from a set of comupter speakers to his bedroom (I'd say roughly 100 feet) Would we just need a simple RCA cable? Here's what I have pictured in my head

computer>>some sort of extension cable>>speaker

would that work?

again, sorry for the really n00bish question.

You'd just need a 100' cable with 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo mini plugs on each end assuming a sound card with the typical mini jacks for line-out and speakers with the same jack for input.

That's a pretty long run and there may be some loss but it would probably work. I don't think you'll find pre-made cable that long though. You can connect multiple shorter cables together with barrel connectors.

can you explain what your end goal is?

my dad wants to be able to listen to an online radio station stream in his bedroom. (with the computer being in a different room)
