Low cost speakers for HDTV

[pursuant]

First I am looking to spend not much more than $20 for speakers.
I've read quite a few post regarding this issue but have not seen one that seems to answer my question. How and What kind of speakers can be used externally for my 32 inch Vizio TV. I do not have a 3.5 audio jack but I do have a optical cable audio out jack. I do have standard RCA cable audio out ports. The optical cable , while a good idea does not seem to be available in other than a sound bar, which is pricey and to big. All the small speaker sets that are used with PCs need a 3.5 jack. I am looking for speakers that use RCA jacks but they don't seem available either. The only options seem to be some kind of converter, which are bulky . There must be some kind of very simple speakers for my set up but I have not been able to find them. Does anyone have suggestion?

Thanks

red/white audio out ports are line level, not speaker level. you need speakers with an amplifier built in or a receiver and speakers.

Thanks. Not being to much of an audio buff, I am assuming that just regular pc speakers with power could not be used with the RCA out port. I could used a female splitter with those to plug into the RCa's?

i would think they would work. if they are stereo they should have red/white separate inputs.

I checked out the local pawn shop and bought some cheap bookshelf speakers that had been previously enjoyed, they worked out perfect. I did spring for a new Polk Audio sub-woofer for a $100. All in all, cheap setup that sounds great.
