    JBL makes many different speakers.    And there are many different kinds of iMac PPC.     The G5 has mini-Toslink audio (supporting up to 5.1 DTS sound), and the G4 has a special digital audio port for which most speakers don't have an adapter.  Apple though did make some globe like speakers to put on either side of that iMac that connected via that digital audio port.

     

    Otherwise you are left with line-level output through the headphone port of the iMac G4 or G3, which means you need amplified speakers and standard minijack RCA connector.
