Are you speaking of a stand-alone DVD player?
Are you using an amplifier?
In either case, you need to know the wattage output of either one and purchase speakers with a higher rating, but not too high.
I am using sony self-powered speakers for my computer and they work great, they even sense a line input and automatically turn on. These are 18 year old speakers and discontinued.
(SRS-150 Active speaker system 20+20 watts RMS)
Lots of Bass sitting under mydesk
