First Time Turntable owner (Needs Help)

So I just purchased a Sony PS-LX300USB. I am having a problem with speaker output. The speakers I choose are the Logitech Z313 Computer Speakers. So now I will explain how this is all set up. Going from the turntable are the built in male RCA plugs. The RCA plugs go into this adapter
https://www.amazon.com/iXCC-Premium-Gold-Plated-Adapter-Extension/dp/B019D04S4G
Then the 3.5mm male connection goes into this adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/Ksmile-Stereo-Adaptor-Connectors-Plated/dp/B01C9U3XI4/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1497396642&sr=1-3&keywords=3.5mm+female+to+female
Then I used this adapter:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-3-5mm-stereo-splitter-cable-black/4399300.p?skuId=4399300
The male end plugs into the previous adapter. And the two female ends are used for the speaker and subwoofer set which has two 3.5mm male connections.
The problem I am having is that I can hear a sharp faint version of the song coming from the needle but not from the speakers. Also the subwoofer is the only thing that seems to be working.
I currently have my turntable set to line and I have tried readjusting the needle and unplugging and plugging in the adapters over and over. Also the volume slider on the speakers seems to have no effect.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem I could really use the help.

Thanks,
Ben

The problem is that the speaker set has two 3.5mm output cables

based on this - I'm willing to bet. you're wiring the speakers/sub wrong. the whole system (logitech 2.1) should have one input, I'm guessing it's on the sub. Speakers should connect to sub, not your turntable.
Check the manual.

Yep, says on the product spec page it has one 3.5mm input. OP - speakers don't have output cables :)

Ok I got it working. Both of you were right about one of the connections going to the subwoofer. Thank you very much.
