    Yes, They sound good. I think I also need an amp to drive these to their peak performance.

    Thanks. Why when I click the selector switch from bypass to the other V option the sound got louder and louder I dont understand why these have a selection of different voltages vs bypass. I am not technical enough. Thoughts t\

    I ran a direct wire from the receiver to the speaker that is extremely low re volume, same issue. I tried both sets of terminals same result. Hmmm. The other speaker has more volume but not as much as normal, maybe 75% of what the other speakers I have hooked up prior. Makes no sense to me.

    Another comment, the CA-800T speakers each have 2 positive and negatives, which one do you actually use to hook up the speakers if you are hooking one up for left and the other for right speaker.

    Since I am not using the home theater part of the Yamaha Receiver, I have them hooked up to the front left and right. Is this the best outputs to hook up to. I do have the receiver hooked up to a TV but for simple audio around the pool and when we watch TV outside, the sound goes thru the speakers. So I cannot use zone 2 due to it will not process a digital signal resulting in no audio when streaming netflix etc. So I picked the front left and right to hook up the two CA-800T speakers. Just like i did with my other set of speakers.

    They are both already switched to bypass. They came like that from the factory. Any other ideas? The other speakers worked great just not much bass because they were cheap. This has me puzzled
  7. I purchased 2 CA-800T. I was told they can be hooked up just like speakers. I am replacing a set of 8 inch speakers with the CA-800T's. I noticed there are 2 positive and negative terminals on each speaker. Nothing in the directions or online tell you which set to use. There is little to no volume and one of the speakers are louder than the other, even though they are both not very loud. I am using a Yamaha RX-671 receiver to drive them. So from the receiver I go into a Niles switch box, from the switch box to a volume control, and from the volume control to the speakers. I am sure its user error but I was expecting something like I had, a speaker with a positive and negative terminal, attach the wires and there is sound. The system is currently set up to hook up a left and a right speaker. But when hooking up the CA-800T speakers the volume is extremely low and even lower in the right speaker vs the left. What could be the problem? Thanks
