I noticed the speaker cable is short and black. Does anyone have suggestions on a longer, white speaker cable?

Hi mikeyc, Thanks for the question about these Outdoor Wireless Speakers. You can always run a weatherproof extension cord to get the length you need. The cord can also be painted white if that helps. Contact AV-Express for more information.

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

I'm really happy with the speaker, but I added a ext. Bass speaker bcz "I'm not happy with the bass.

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

First of all, if you put them 6 feet apart, you tmay lose the center channel. May be too much right and left only. However, the connecting cable is 3 feet on each speaker, so they can be put just about 6 feet apart, not closer to 5 feet as someone else stated. Since the cable allows it, it should sound ok. Mine are about 2 1/2 feet apart and could use to be further go create more left and right. They sound good for their price, but I got them at a big discount in a sale. Regular price seems a little high to me. I would try them. Also, they only come in white. Personally black would be better as they stand out in white. Hope this helps.

Garrett- I went to a local stereo shop and bought a high quality speaker wire. But any speaker wire will work. The better the quality the better the sound though. Hope this helps.

just do an amazon search for "3.5mm audio cable" I have used a different cable with no problems on my unit.

We have had no complaints from this speaker before. Did you purchase your speaker on Amazon? I would call JBL tech support.

Speaker wire is not included. I used Monster XPMS 50 speaker wire (50 feet). 16 AWG. Sweeeet! Cut it to the desired length and stripped back about an inch of wire to connect both ways. Is it live or is it Monster? What? I can't hear you!

Check for a possible short in speaker wires .Maybe a small piece of wire lying across terminals on back of unit. Or possible short in reciever.

There is no power cable connected to the speaker. Just ensure the amplifier output can support this speaker by checking the speaker impedance.

Thanks, Daniel. I got 12-gauge speaker wire from monoprice and it works wonders :)

Make sure the cables are making good contact with the stereo connection point, then make sure the speaker cables are making good contact and there are no breaks in those cables. Still have a an issue? You should swap out the new cable with another same type cable, if it goes away when you do that, its the cable that needs to be returned. You can also try to add a grounding wire.

I bought one too... works perfectly fine... with a piercings sound coming from the external speaker. I suggest to recheck the speaker connection.

Unfortunately, I did not keep the speaker, because I was not happy with the sound it produced........so I sent it back to Amazon. Even though I connected it to the computer....can't quite remember how I did that. However, I would suggest that you go to YouTube and put that speaker in the search box.......a YouTube video should come up with a "techy" showing how to make the connection. I've done that with a number of other products and it has been very helpful to me.

I agree, line is too short. I don't see why speaker wire wouldn't work to extend. If you know anything about splicing, you'll be fine

The speaker wires are extremely short, as is the case with most compact stereos. I solved the problem by purchasing speaker wire from Amazon. Simple solution to a small inconvenience
