Don't! Your laptop output was not designed to drive speakers directly! It won't work or you will burn out the output stage. You need an amplifier. If you are industrious Google for schematics. (I've come across a few plans for some several thousand watt monsters myself) Otherwise, just pick up another amp at a store or garage sale. It's better to spend $20 on an amp than a few hundred on repairs because you blew out your laptop's sound chip.

How do you connect an MP3 player to HiFi without an auxillary input?

Connecting MP3 to HiFiHere is one assumption that I am going to make - your HiFi unit has a built-in FM radio. There are MP3 to FM interface devices available which will achieve what you have asked for. Here is one such device:http://www.fcsurplus.ca/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=15293All you do is to connect the MP3 player to the FM transmitter, tune your hifi to the FM transmitter frequency - and you have wireless transmission for audio for $8 plus shipping.If your HiFi does not have a built-in FM radio, here is another method (assuming that you have an old cassette player). All you would need is a cassette adapter and connect your MP3 player to it, start up your HiFI tape player and you have a low cost interface. If you are the hands-on type, you can locate the pre-amp of the HiFi and inject your MP3 player's audio - but that depends on your electronic knowledge and the model of the HiFi.

Can you use 30W speakers in a 300W HiFi System without damaging them?

Your amp's got enough power there to blow those speakers to kingdom come, but that doesn't mean you can't use them. At low volume settings, you're nowhere near the maximum output of the amp, so use them, but be careful. You should be able to hear when you're overdriving them.
