I have a few questions that i was unsure of where to post. But i trust the knowledge of people on head-fi so i wanted to ask here. If this is the wrong forum just move the thread.
Anyways, I'm leaving for college soon and am bringing a few different speakers i haven't used in a while. I'm going to have my laptop with me so i will connect them via my creative labs usb 5.1 external sound card.i have the following:

So i want to hook up two M-Audio bx8a deluxe monitors plus a sub woofer from my old klipsch promedia 5.1 ultra setup. So the monitors have xlr and 1/4 inch inputs. Since the sound card has rca inputs but also comes with the 1/8th adapter i have quite a few choices.xlr-rca,xlr-1/8, 1/4-rca, 1/4-1/8. I'm asking what you guys would recommend i should do.
 
Thanks for your time,
Sam.

I think you mean outputs rather than inputs - but I would say that your best bet is rca to xlr, and then rca to 1/4".  Although there are plenty of 1/8 to 1/4" cables, I would fatham a guess to say that I think you would be better with the other two options.
