how much wire do you need for speakers?
2083140
Wires are attached to the speakers. You do not need any wire unless you need the speakers to be further away from the receiver (or run through a wall), in that case you will have to get some wire and do some cutting and splicing.

I used 14g because I did not run them more than 20 ft from the source. I looked up the recommended wire size in a chart I found by searching the internet for speaker wire recommendations.

I just used RCA 16 gauge speaker wire I got at Menards. Its heavy enough unless you have a long distance between the speakers and amp.

First of all, you need to know how far the speakers will be from the amplifier. Then, will the wires be inside your walls? These factors will determine what type and size (thickness) of wire you will need. Longer distances require thicker wire. Wire thickness is called 'gauge'. Bigger numbers, 22 gauge wire, is smaller than 12 gauge wire. Most people can get by with 16 gauge general speaker wire for an average sized room, but audiophiles and wires that need to be concealed behind walls will require wire that is pure copper or wire that has special insulation to protect it. Either way, the only requirement for proper sound reproduction is to make sure the wire you get connects the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of your amplifier to the terminals of your speakers; positive to positive, negative to negative. Most speaker wires have one wire marked so you can connect amps and speakers in phase. Some wires have a colored stripe on the insulation on one wire and some wires are two different colors (one copper-colored, the other silver). Once you choose the wire, strip about 3/4" of insulation off, depress the terminal button (red or black) on the back of the speaker and insert the wire into the hole that is revealed. Releasing the button locks wire in. I know this is a lot of information but it will make sense when you actually do it.

You can get a cheap powered sub and just split the speaker signal to go straight to the sub. So, don't think you'd need anything extra except for some more speaker wire.

See "Package Contents" and till will tell you the ft. of wires supplied:http://filedepot.onkyousa.com/Files/own_manuals/SN29400232_HT-S6300_7300_En_web.pdf?CFID=1357998&CFTOKEN;=95329930&jsessioni;d=f030d6984ddf9553fc81384493a786d5c303"I would recommend 16 gauge wires. " - This is what I got as an e-mail reply from an Onkyo USA Product Support rep. when I had told them that the speaker wires that came with the system were short for my room and wanted to get new wires.

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

Can't recall, exactly. I wanted the speakers 10-15 feet away so I bought additional wire.

You would only need more speaker wire. You connect the speakers to the sub, and then the sub to the amp.

You need speaker wire and a sub woofer cable. Monoprice m great speaker wire for the money. I assume you have an amp?

You need to buy a roll of speaker wire. Short money, so get some good stuff.

You will need a wiring kit that comes with Power, Ground, RCA, and a switched power line. Obviously you should have speaker wiring as well.

Hello M Kress: The manufacturers include 11ft of wire. This can be increase to a longer one or much longer one if needed. We recommend 16gauge or 14 gauge outdoor speaker wire. IT has come to our attention from the manufacturer that in future versions they will include 15 feet of wire.

Just like any other speaker. 1 speaker wire per speaker. Each wire has a positive and a negative. Each speaker is 8 oms so you could connect 2 speakers in parallel if your amp can handle it. These speakers are technically 150 watt speakers. They quote the higher wattage but it is peak power and nor RMS. I don't see any details about your 1000 watt system so I can't be more specific than running 1 wire per speaker. Hope this helps.

Yes, you'll need speaker wire connected from your audio source to the speakers.

Any speaker wire will do, just remember to keep them polarized. (positive to positive, negative to negative). Great speaker system, by the way!

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.
