So i unmounted these speakers from an old tv in hopes to convert them into wall mounted rca cable speaker system.
I cut speaker wire and stripped the rca wires to make the adapter but no sound comes out when i connect it to my turntable.
Looking at the back panel i assumed the "Power(RMS):10W" meant it needs that amount of power to function.
Unfortunately theres no indication of any sort of power in.

Youre gonna have to give a lot more details. Im not an expert on speakers, so I cant help much with what little you have to go off of.
RCA cables use mono/stereo wires, where as >>1235474 seems to only take in two wires for power indicating mono. There are speaker wire so maybe its actually stereo. Actually on second look it seems that the red and black cable split but the image quality of that area is bad. Makes sense because stereo for tvs are weird.
Usually the black wire is ground. I dont know the standards for rca cables and the voltages they supply, but you are probably looking at making some sort of signal converter or adapter. Since rca cables to aux cords exist theres probably no converter needed. Again I dont really know about audio standards so youd have to check that out. I dont know if the white port on an rca cable supplies enough power so youd need a signal amplifier. Maybe theres info on using the red port for that. But I my educated guess is that its not going to be enough.
Id probably just buy an rca to aux adapter because itd make me feel better. Might not be needed. Then id make a circuit that would attach to the head phone jack, and some power adapter that fits the voltage rating of the speakers. Use some opamps to amplify the signal.
That being said Id probably mess up and blow the speakers trying this and would look up info about the topic for days ahead of time to prevent this.

you need some kind of amp, a stereo unit or something
those are passives, they need another unit to give them power
