Power Amp to Loudspeaker?

This isn't really audio related but I figure you guys will know how to help. I am taking over this project from someone which is why I have things I don't know what to do with.

I am basically creating a buzzer for a plant that will go off when it is break time / shift switch time. The buzzer will be controlled with an old pentium II computer.
I have one of these: http://img.alibaba.com/photo/10877097/H ... peaker.jpg (model is probably different)
as well as a Bogen BPA60 power amplifier.

I am unsure as to how to hook everything up as the outputs are basically screws. There is a HI-Z RCA input which I could connect to the computer with a 3.5mm to rca converter, but I'm not even sure if I should be using HI-Z or if I want the BAL LO-Z.

Use spade connectors on the screws. You can also wrap bare wire around the screws and tighten it down. Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Shouldn't be too bad.

Yes bare-ended speaker wire will do the job fine.

Yes, any speaker wire will be fine. You can also use lamp cord from the hardware store.
