How can i bridge these speakers since they have 1/4 inch inputs instead of a positive and a negative?

Hello. I'm not sure what you mean by "bridging" the speakers. This is a term usually used for amps. However if you wanted to daisy chain these with another speaker the 1/4" plugs are wired in parallel so any speaker connected to this speaker by 1/4" cable is in parallel with it. These are in 4 ohms now, so if you daisy chained them together they would be at 2 ohms. Have a great day!

I got a kit from the internet campatible with the system with an external aux connet; you may be better researching for a similar solution.Thanks,

There is a plastic cover shown, remove it and aux input is accessible. Yes, those speakers should work.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

Is your speakers hooked up in 1 ohm if so it's just like u bridged 1 wire to positive on left side and 1 wire to negative on right side of amp

you can use a 3.5mm stereo split adapter to 1/4 trs, it works fine like that. These make awesome computer speakers.

yes. do not bridge them. And don't turn it up past 3on the 6 9 and 2 on the 65until u know your not overworking your speakers

You can't bridge the outputs but I suppose you could just pick an unused output and use that. But be aware that the amp only put out 50 watts @4 ohms and may not supply enough power for a sub

There is only a positive and negative hook up for each speaker. They accept a banana clip or they unscrew to accept a smaller wire adapter. I hooked my front speaker wires to them and plugged them in. The base adjust on a dial. Really like these speakers. Read my post on reviews to help you set them up. Thanks-Peter

If you ever hooked up speakers wires before then you can do this. The connectors are color coded red,black right and left this is easy to do.

Is your 3.5 mm connector stereo?, even if it is I'm guessing there are inexpensive adapters (probably @ Radio Shack) that will convert a 3.5 mm plug to either 2 wire (mono) or 4 wire (stereo). Pay attention to wire polarities (+ & -) as traditional 2 wire speakers connections are + & - , even if the wires are connected backwards the speakers will still work-- result you will be driving them backwards & they will not sound as clear. Solution, just reverse the wires. Good luck

Sure, you'll want to wire them differently depending on the specs. If they're 2ohm speakers you'll want to wire them in series so they have 4 ohms of resistance. If they're 4 or 8 ohm you'll want to wire them in parallel for a 2 or 4 ohm resistance.

Just use the in and out jacks on the back of the speakers. Out from the speaker connected to source in to additional speaker.

Hmm... I've never come across a question like this before. Well, I suppose you would have too bridge the connections. I'll try to explain as easy as possible... use the positive post from the right channel to the positive post on speaker... and then the negative post from the left channel to the negative post on the speaker. This will "bridge" the two channels to serve as one sound source (in theory) I've done this with car subs but never with home theater components. I would seriously do your research further before you attempt this because I would hate for you to buy a great speaker and something happened to it

they are straight speaker wire connectors (black (-) and red (+).) there are also 2 ports for the wiring meaning you can bi-wire the speakers if you so choose. I used 16 gauge speaker wire (eventually I will replace it with 12 gauge) and bi-wired them and they sound significantly better. Hope this helps.

Check the pre- amp output power level to be high enough for the minimum required input power level for the powered speakers. Should work.

Not a good idea you should aim for a two channel amp our two one channel amps and try to match the ohms of the speakers with the amp to get the best out of them
