I am going nuts trying to find these wires. I basically have a laptop with a single 1/8"(3.5mm) output. I am trying to connect to it two active monitors that have 1/4" outputs and I cannot find a cable that splits 1/8" into 1/4"s.

RadioShack sells a cable that splits a 3.5mm stereo jack into two RCA phono plugs. They also sell a RCA-1/4" plug adaptor. So with one of the former and two of the latter, you have what you need.

They also sell a 3.5mm stereo jack to two mono 3.5mm splitter which you could use with two mono 3.5mm to 1/4" adaptors.
