What do i buy and how do i ste thsi thing up. thx

You mean you took the tweeters from two tower speakers that were made from two different manufactures? Can you be more precise as to what speakers you have?

Speaker issues aside. You are going to need a sound card with a digital out (optical/coax). Run the digital out cable to a Receiver with a matching digital in. Plug speakers into receiver and you should be set.

I don't know what kind of sound quality you want but an alternative would be to buy computer speakers that can be hooked directly to your computers sound card. This option would save you the cost of the receiver.
