Monitors have either 1/4", XLR or RCA inputs.

All you would need would be a Y-adapter/splitter with the 1/8" stereo jack on one side to go into the souncard and 2 mono 1/4" or RCA jacks on on the other end to go to each monitor.
 
Many Hi-Fi systems have an option for two sets of speakers, usually shown as A and B. If yours is this way, you can connect the monitors as B, and then switch between them when you need it.

Nope. felytone is mentioning active speakers.

You just bypass the hifi altogether.
The cables that run from your monitoring/mixing device to your hifi now need to run from your monitoring/mixing device straight into the active monitors. C'est tout.

Yes I noticed that too, but thought he probably meant he was considering both types as he discussed how to connect to his hi-fi.
