The most common type of plugs are "banana" plugs and "RCA" both male and female version of these are available at a Radio Shack type store. Speakers should be set up with the banana kind. These handle the higher current levels. The RCA are for hooking components together (ie tape deck to amp, cd player etc) http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-High-Quality-Closed-Copper-Speaker/dp/B0029XW5JA/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1366669325&sr=8-9&keywords=banana+plugs

RCA plugs are not high output and are designed for low impedance, and won't power a speaker. If you are running this through your amp, it may work, but not directly into the television.

Some televisions have spring loaded "speaker-out" connections. If yours does not have that, you will have to run it through an amp, then to speakers.
