Will a 16 AWG speaker cables fit this speaker?

Dear Tony O., Thanks so much for your inquiry. 16AWG speaker wire should be just fine for the HKTS60 Harman Kardon speaker system. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you! Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

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.

I've read that 16g is recommended for in-wall wiring, and 18g for shorter distances. I've used 14g before and found the thickness of the bare wire troublesome with some connections. But if you're driving powerful speakers over a long distance, 14g might be better. My house is wired with 12g, so I can't imagine that being necessary for speakers.

I would highly recommend getting some better quality speaker wire ( such as 16-14 gauge). The wire that is supplied with system is very cheap zip wire.

You have to buy a separate speaker cables.there's a lot in Amazon...from 50ft-100ft preferably a gauge 16 or 14...the lower the # the thicker/better....

Most likely not. It was tough to get just the wires through the tube. These speaker mounts stink.

My speakers have the near same 87dB, 8 Ohm, with 16G wire to them with 25 foot of wire so I hooked them together and ran it to one speaker and it sounded just the same. I think 16G wire will be just fine for your situation.

This cable is 12 AWG, support 20 Amps. It work good for this Speaker system.

The speaker wire is 1x8 and 2x14, but it is very thin, 18 or 20 gauge.. I purchased a roll of better wire 16 gauge is flexible and hides pretty well.

While the terminals appear to have large enough openings to accomodate 14g, you really dont have to go there (unless you are planning on using a few hundred feet of speaker wire). The resistance of, say, 20 ft of 16g Cu wire is only 0.08 ohms, or 100x less than the impedance of an 8 ohm speaker: i.e., absolutely negligible.

No the Silverback Speaker cables won't work because they have the roound-ish pens on the end as you can see in the picture. Personally if you have a receiver like that, I would just use some basic 16 gauge cables. I did see another individual say you can take the jackets off the end, they do unscrew & this should be possible but again with [your] Sony receiver I would get basic 16 gauge cables for now.

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.

Yes they will fit, but I would reccomend using this plug Mediabridge Ultra Series Subwoofer Cable - ( 15 Feet ) - Dual Shielded with RCA to RCA Gold Plated Pro Grade Connectors as it provided much cleaner sound. My room is 25 by 30 and it literally rumbles the entire house. This is an awesome product.

I just used it for rear speaker probably would not fit 16 inch studs as a center speaker

Each speaker only needs 2 wires. 16 gauge wire is perfect for these speakers. These speakers sound very good.

They don't come with cable and usually speaker that need to be hooked with a receiver won't come with cable. Cables can be found in frys, Home Depot, radioshacks etc. I use 16 gauge speaker cable. If your side small speakers are going to be 20ft away from your receiver then it better goes with 20 gauge. Oh, you may also want some banana connector or gold connector? Easier to disconnect all the cable every time you plan to move around

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.
