    I am quite sure that you can use the typical yellow composite cable to carry audio signal as well. However, I have never attempted to connect the component this way and I am quite sure that it won't work even if you match up the colors. Even if you do get signal it will most likely not be color-correct.

    I think i will just forget about the component cables and just use a yellow composite cable that will be good enough for a bedroom system, thanks for the help

    The only difference in any of those cables is the color! They are color coded to make it hard to connect things incorrectly. As long as you match the colors at each end there will be no problem.
