Are the speaker wire connection points proprietary? I'm wondering if the receiver blows, can I still use speakers with another receiver brand?

In order to use the speaker you will have to remove the connection on the cables since this is wired to connect with sony I'm not sure whether it will work as per it shouldThank you

Yeah, they are proprietary - I had wired the speaker lines into the walls before drywalling my basement, so I had no choice but to cut them. It all works fine though. I didn't even solder the connections - I just used wire nuts.

The connection points to the receiver are proprietary, the connection points to the speaker are hardwired. If the speaker blows you can splice a regular speaker wire to the connector and as long as the replacement speaker matches impedance you should be fine.

The speakers can be used elsewhere. Two points to consider: 1) the speakers are relatively low impedance and 2) their clip-type wire connectors are better suited for smaller-gauge speaker wire.

Hi,The exact same thing happens to me. We tried to save some money and go with these Bluetooth speakers rather than the old fashioned receiver/hookup wiring throughout the house. In hindsight, it was a bad decision. Wish I could help but we haven't been happy either.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE ASKING!!! I USED REGULAR SPEAKER WIRE TO CONNECT TO FIVE EXTERNAL SURROUND SPEAKERS. THE SPEAKER WIRES WERE CONNECTED TO THE PROPER pioneer audio outputs on the back of the amplifier. The subwoofer came wit a single output cable that plugged into the back of the pioneer specifically marked for the subwoofer. Hope this helps.

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

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.

With the Connect, you can use your own speakers. The Connect will work like any other device connected to your receiver. Enjoy!

I am familiar with that specific receiver, however, if it has Bluetooth capabilities it should be able to connect with speaker. Keep it mind that this a small speaker with good sound quality , yet it is not a replacement for a main speaker system.

if your receiver does not have a dedicated subwoofer outlet then you will need a special wire. it's RCA to speaker wire, and it's kinda pricey for a wire. you would have to tie into the left and right speakers, or maybe even all sides of the surround. the quality might be diminished since it's trying to push all the frequencies through the speaker, and not just the lower bass frequencies. heres a link to the wire you would need.

Some receivers have output connections that are rca. Yoy will need rca cables for each speaker

I wish that I could help you out. I'm using the speaker's from the home theater system that I already had hooked up. There are 100watt wall and ceiling shelve size speaker's. I do believe that the speaker's you do use, will have to be speaker's for surround,(FL>Center>FR>RL>RR&gt;) for 5.1 system. The rear speaker's are also known as(SL>SR). If you use just any kind of speaker's, like for stereo. Then you wont get the separation, any true affect of surround sound. I wish that I could help you out more, and hope that this will help you some what. Nick I wish that I could help you out.

I don't understand your question--you speak of connecting one regular speaker wire to these rca connections, but this _is_ the speaker wire, so it sounds as if you're asking about connecting a speaker wire to the speaker wire. This product is only used to connect speakers that have a single rca input on the back to a receiver, so on one end of each wire there's a male rca jack, and on the other there's two strands of bare copper wire that you connect to the positive and negative terminals on the back of your receiver. The rca jack does not plug into the receiver, as there's only one rca plug per wire--so if you're looking for speaker wire with rca plugs on the receiver end, this isn't the right product for you.

There should be no problem hooking the speakers up to either Sony receiver. The speakers use standard speaker wire inputs. The speakers are great. I own or have owned different Klipsch speakers and find them to be the best sounding out there.

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.

Hello what is the size of the speaker wire you can recommend that is good to use for this system that could give me the best sound? I will appreciate it very much if you can reply to this question.Thanks...

Yea its compleatly ohk to use the speaker wire you already have. But I would pay attention to the gage wire the onkyo system can handle. Because if you have to thick of speaker wire it won't fit. Plus this is a 7.1 surround sound system if you don't have the 7 speaker wires in you walls your not getting full listing experience.
