Thanks Dwilawyer, man that was a super helpful video! Thumbs up. I especially like that 3rd & final option he presented. Self-soldering connectors! Very cool. Now I just gotta figure out the correct Ohm load on these wires so I can figure out what is the maximum length I can extend.

Right, whatever dude.

Very nice. Thank you for this helpful comment.

Both great suggestions! Thank you - I didn't know such things existed.

I've verified from the information published on Klipsch website it is indeed 22. I've tried look up the infromation regarding the Ohm load - but I can't find it anywhere. I also downloaded the technical spec (PDF file) hosted on Klipsch website. Unfortunately, no information on that. Looks like I'll have to give their 800 support line a call on Monday morning. Got it, thanks. Thanks by the way for the chart - very helpful.

Sorry, but your blabbering about dog training and recommendation against splicing cables ( despite your complete ignorance about the speakers I bought) classify you as a class 1 know-it-all ignoramus.

I'll try gaffers tape if I can find some. I live in a small town and finding something like that might prove to be tricky. As for going the whole route with the shrink wrap material... again, due to the small town I live in, I'm not sure I can find that kind of stuff readily. I had thought about using regular electrical tape but that kind of stuff tends to get gooey after a while which is why i was hoping for a different solution. I think the gaffers tape might be my best bet. Thanks.

Shish, you sound like a know it all person. So toxic... I see you're in the habit of doling out advice on products you don't even know about.

Hi Marvel, Thanks for the pic and the advice. Is there a specific kind of tape that I should use to cover the bare metal exposed ends?

Do not splice? Why? Again, I'm new to this stuff so I'd like to learn why it's not adivseable. Also you recommend that I get appropriate length cables. How in the world would I even remove the existing wires without damaging them? The wires that are coming out of the satellite speakers are installed by the factory techniciians and they DO NOT seem like they can be removed by the end user in any shape or form. The puppy is a wonderful little guy and already well on his way to being trained. There are moments of mischief as all puppies will do from time to time. It's really not about the puppy, it's about protecting the bare metal exposed wires.

Hi, I just bought the Pro Media 2.1 computer desktop speakers and they sound great so far. The speaker cables for the satellite speakers are a bit too short and I was thinking of buying some speaker cables and splicing them together. I know next to nothing about this kind of stuff so I have a few questions: 1) Is this OK to do? 2) I need to lengthen the speaker wires by ~10 feet. What is the longest I can "extend" these cables? 3) The technical specs on the website says 22 gauge (or maybe it said 18 gauge, I can't remember). I assume that If I go through with this modification, I'll need to specifically look for 22 gauge speaker wires - correct? 4) What do I do after I splice them together? Can I protect the exposed bare metal end tips with something? I've got a little puppy in the house, I'd like to cover it with something. Thanks for any advice.
