No. You need an amp of some sort...what some people do is wire their computer to their existing stock stereo, letting the stereo provide the amplification to the speakers. A PC's sound card doesn't carry enough power to move speakers (unless there's some built-in amp option for PC cards I'm unaware of, and i wouldn't recommend it if there was).
