mac question regarding speakers

So I have these awesome studio speakers (click here to see) that I want to use with my mac. I know it's best to get a sound card for this but I'm trying to cut costs right now, lol. anyway, I want to hook them up through the headphone jack but I'm only getting like half of the frequency like this. My jacks are in stereo so I can't figure out why it's not working....

any suggestions?

half the frequency? if you mean that one speaker works and the other doesn't? then you are probably pluging a mono miniplug (one black ring) into your stereo (two black rings) headphone jack.

(all speculation, btw)
 
what happens when you plug them into an ipod or other source? and do you have the apples volume around 3/4?
 
It's like mostly treble or almost like I'm getting some of the music but the rest sounds like it's panned over to the other side either right or left. It's really strange because when I hook up my normal computer crappy speakers, it doesn't do that.
