I don't think you can. At least not have true 5.1

Sorry, but I think you need a soundcard with 6 outputs then. :(

haha no just asking. so i guess i think i should get active monitors right ?

Umm....I think there is some confusion unless I am not understanding you. Active moniters have nothing do do with 2.1/5.1. Active means powered. Passive means you have to supply your own power. You can have 5.1 active, 5.1 passive, 2.1 active etc.....
 
Yes that will work. I just wanted to make sure you were clear on all the terms.

EDIT from the looks of things you are not:

The "jacks" you refered to are 1/4 female inserts.
The "Head Pins" you refered to is a 1/8 male trs (tip ring sleeve).
The "pre amp or something" you refered to is actually a power amp.

Hope that helps
