How do you extend the speaker wire? Thanks.

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

speaker wire just clips to back of amp and back of speakers, so as far as your speaker wire will reach

Hi Erica, The speakers are supplied with about a 8ft wire but you could, if necessary, purchase much longer wire at Best Buy or other retail store. Hope that helps

The wire is short about 6' on the front speakers, and about 12' on the rear speakers, I have RC jack cables and female to female RC adapters connecting the cables together. That way I can make the wire as long as I want.

It was one big roll of wire that you cut to accommodate the placement of the speakers. It was very simple to strip the wire ends and hook up. Didn't take long at all.

I was able to use some epoxy to hold them to the stock location. You will need to cut the original wire harness and splice the wires together, but it is not hard if you have some experience with speaker wiring.

Hi,What do you mean standard speaker wire? if you use a bigger wire than original is better for the signal.

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

Speakers are not attached physically to the central unit. The speaker wires appear to be about 30-36 inches long, and could probably be extended with additional wire without much sound degradation.

I did not do that, but I don't see any problem with that. They are just bare ends, so it should be easy to add speaker wire.

Wire isn't very long ( matbe 6 inches) but yes it is easily extendable, any small two conductor wire such as speaker wire would work fine. I extended one of mine about 6 feet.

Any regular speaker wire should work, however, something with "banana clips" would be ideal. You could go with these :-)Audioquest 10' Pr Rocket 88 SBW -PK/BFAS Bananas

The old fashioned speaker wire works just fine. You can use banana plugs or screw tighten the copper wire.

In my recollection the wires are directly hard wired into the speaker side. They would require some type of splice though they are bare wired with spring posts on the stereo side. Really thin wires at that. Possibly 22 gauge or smaller.

Any 3.5 mm male-to-male audio cable (available here at Amazon for < $5) can be fitted to extend the speakers to your liking.

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

I installed the wire by disconnecting the screw cap (with the red or black color), inserting the wire through the back and curling it over on the other side. You take the back cap and screw it back on to the main piece so the curled wire gets stuck when you fully screw it back on. Sometimes it's a bit tricky if the speaker wire gets stuck in the thread. If you do it right, it's a nice, tight connection.
