Do i solder the speakers wires to the inside terminal or crimp the speaker wire to the terminal.
Got new subwoofer but how do i install it in a box with the wire terminals inside.

I assume you are referring to the terminal cup that is mounted to the box that has two male spades protruding into the box. You can either solder your speaker wires to them or use female spade lugs that you crimp onto the wire ends and they slide onto the terminals. The same for the other ends of the wires that hook up to the speakers.

Hello everyone

I have a casual Sony surround sound amplifier with the 5 default sony speakers (left, center, right, surround left, and surround right).

The surround right speaker (because of its position) has fell a few times. I was wondering if a replacement is ever needed, would just any speaker do? Or would I have to purchase a specific surround right speaker?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Using any speaker as a replacement….. Will it work? Yes. Will it mess up the sound image? Most definitely.

If you want to make a replacement your best bet is to replace in pairs (most speakers are sold in pairs only BTW). Or the best way is to replace the speaker set with a better set that one you will need to mount.

I recommend Klipsch for a replacement set. They are more sensitive so more SPL for the same amount of power.

Any of the bottom three would be a great step forward from what you already have. The last two will need a sub though make sure it is timbre’ matched to your system.

I somehow broke the speaker cover on the the door speaker down by my foot on my 2004 Audi A4. I have tried to remove it by prying but it only breaks it more. How do I remove this speaker cover correctly so that I can install the new one?

Thanks!

the door cover is held by screws most likley and clips take those out, the cover is probably a push out or maybe adhesive or screw type
either way get the cover off it should be fairly olbvious how to get it out

but then again it should have been pretty simple to figure out how to get to it.. jk good luck

Are there any tricks to running speaker wire into a wall so they’re out of sight?

You need to be able to fish your speaker wire through the wall to where you want it to come out, much easier to do when you’ve got your walls torn down for renovation. You can buy wall plates as well to make everything look fancy. Wall plates close to the receiver and wall plates close to your speakers. You run from the receiver to the wall plate, then the speaker wire behind the wall plate runs to your other wall plate, from there to the speaker. Looks very professional when done properly and you don’t have wires all over the place.

Monoprice is a great place to shop for speaker wire (in wall certified) and audio/video wall plates with a variety of keystone jacks (coaxial, component, HDMI, speaker terminals, etc.)

I just got a new home theater system, an LG LHT854. The wire leading to one of the rear speakers is a bit short. It disconnects at both ends. I was wondering if I can just buy any standard speaker wire of the same gauge and connect it instead? What will this do to the sound quality, etc.? If this is bad, what else might you suggest for me to get the wire to the rear speaker discretely without having to go spend a bunch of money?

Any speaker wire would work the guage doesn’t matter for the small rear speakers guage only makes a difference if you have big speakers. Get long speaker cables any guage and run it along the edges of the room and if you have it hanging on the wall get some thumb tacks and pin the wires straight downwards towards the floor and around the edges. They sell plastic wire covers for the walls for cheap like 10 bucks for a set at stores like Wal Mart and they have them in multiple colors and lengths

Hi, I’ve got four outdoor speakers on my back deck, and I’m wondering how I can connect them to my cd boom box so I can play a cd and have the sound come out of these speakers. They use speaker wires. Is there anyway to convert speaker wires to aux? I have an aux output and the standard head phone out on my boom box. Can I someone convert speaker wires to work in any of these outs? Please explain so I can understand easy! Thank you!

Boom box probably don’t have enough power to drive the speakers at a high volume. It can burn out the power amplifier of your boom box. You can install a power amplifier from the boom box to power the speakers. Hope this will help you out.
