To badboybubby- I am using a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack connected from the Pi to the PCB. The PCB is wired to the speakers.
To Paulcheffus- I am using a standard Samsung charging brick.

I don’t know the specs of it but i will post them soon.

When i plug the headphone jack in, my Pi freezes up and the screen shuts off. Also, the 2 lights on the Pi 3 go off, then the red one starts blinking. Then the sounds come out for a second then decline in volume until they are completely quiet.

I am using the Pi3 Model B

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi

That suggests the power supply isn’t powerful enough. You need at least 2.5A for a Pi3.

Thanks! I will try that and post back soon. If they do not have an adapter of that spec on this webiste, I will get one from Adafruit.

Thanks for your help.

Yep, that’s a power supply issue. Get the official raspberry pi one.
