I want to put a speaker on each side of my chair and woofer behind. are the wires long enough to do this without splicin. I can work with 3.5mm RCAR

Length of the wires are about 3ft. Not very long. You may have to splice depending upon the distance of the "sweet spot" location.

Try with Peerless, those have a strong built and are universal, you can hide the cables inside main leg. I have a pair for years now, and I have use them with several satellites speakers and have worked with all of them.

you have to cut the wire and splice in as much as you need. you have to buy more speaker wire.

After more than 50 years of reading about, setting up, and listening to stereo systems, I've concluded that thick, lower gauge wires are unnecessary unless the distance between receiver and speaker is especially long. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise by blind tests, but I'm not aware of any. I use 16 gauge now and that is probably overkill, considering that many of my speaker wire runs are less than 10 feet. Do not buy high end (expensive) wire whatever the gauge.

I don't have the exact lengths (my cords are buried behind the desk), but my setup is on a Dell computer sitting on the floor next to my desk; the subwoofer is on the floor with it, about 3 feet away; and the speakers themselves are on the desktop in each corner, approx 5' apart from each other. There isn't much room to separate or push anything much farther than that. And the cables themselves are giant fat cables (looks like monster cable), that would be difficult to add onto unless you know exactly what you are doing. Hope this helps !

Nope bare speaker wire works too. Thats how mine is rigged up. Sounds great on a pair of decent bookshelf speakers.

Hayes S., That means we recommend using the wires included in the box. You may be able to use the wires depending on the gauge of pre-installed speaker wire and distance, but since there is a special input that connects the wire to the system for easy set-up, the included wires are designed to work with the system. Splicing the wires may work if you want to use your system and the wire gauges are the same, but without knowing more, it's difficult to know if your existing wiring is compatible. --Mr. S

easy! on the back there,s a hanging hole on each speaker,you can even use 1inch black drywall screws! just screw it into the wall and hangup your speaker! if your speaker wires are too short! buy 16 gauge speaker wires and spliceit! making it longer so you can hang them anywhere you want!

Speaker wire will fit. With the RCA plugs it will NOT fit. Let me know if you have any other questions.

With the system your planning to get above the pl-66 will blend nicely yes it would work awesome make sure when you place the 3 frond speakers left,center,right channel all tweeters are ear height the best and fastest way to do this is by getting a laser and throw a line horizontal accross for your surround speakers they need to be 2 feet down from ceiling sub woofer if possible in front and in the middle of the room if not you will need to do the crawl method to figure out with side will be best for the sub the right side or left side hope this help

The speaker wires that come with this system are not the best. First they may be to short especially for the rear speakers, and second the quality of wire is sub-par (not that good).Best if you get a 100 Ft. roll 18 Gauge Speaker wire from any electronic store. I prefer Radio Shack. and last you are assured to have enough wire to run it anywhere you like. Just remember measure twice cut once! Good luck. Willie L.

It's really not hard at all, if you have connected speaker cables before then this will be easy for you. You just peel back about 1/2 inch of cable then insert it inside the connected (connector comes in two sections, unscrew both parts). After you insert the speaker wire screw back in the the part you unscrewed, that's it. It's not the best idea but they work great.

If you're going to use the wires that come with the system you would have to splice. Or, you can buy extension cords that can add more length without splicing.

Thanks for your question. That's expected - the manufacturer designs these to work with any length of speaker cable for this outdoor applicaton. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Boston Acoustics dealer.

Any speaker wires will do. Kind of depends how long of a run the cables need to be but 16 gauge should work. No special connections needed but again depends on your receiver. I used what are called banana clip connections but just wrapping the wire around the terminals should work. The wire should have two colors so you can connect the positive terminal on the speaker to the positive terminal on the receiver. PS. Very good speakers but you should also buy a woofer the complete the set.

Each speaker comes with about 10 feet of wire, so that each can be placed anywhere from next to/ to 10 feet from the main unit. I don't know if a longer wire will adversely affect speaker performance.

Agree with previous response. Unless your existing wiring is shot, just stick with it. Worst case you need to cut off the connectors and crimp/solder/splice in some new ends to fit the speakers.
