Ironsave Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Welcome to The Forum. I recommend radio shack; anything better than 14 gauge should be very adequate. You will probably need RCA cables for your mixer/karaoke player; in order to connect it to the receiver. Again; radio shack should have something of decent quality.... (I do not believe in spending hundreds on wire and cables). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Fujisenpai, Welcom to the forum. i'm a newbie when it come to audio stuff. so my question to you guys what speakers wires and gauge should i get for my klipsch speakers. I suggest minimum of 14 gauge and banana plugs for the speaker connections. Here is a very reasonably priced 100ft roll of 12 gauge speaker wire and banana plugs. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10239&cs_id=1023901&p_id=2789&seq=1&format=2 i have also an pioneer elite sc-25 reciever Very nice receiver and will power your RF-52 system with ease.

Crown1 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I completely agree with willland 14 guage speaker cable at minimum , 12 guage is better if you can fit it, but 14 guage is absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBXeRo Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 12ga should work with your system. I like monoprice, speaker wire is speaker wire in my opinion as long as its over 99% pure oxygen free copper haha. The banana plugs listed are ok, i have had them and they do the job but i like my emotiva interconnect kits way more. As far as your other connections go, if they are connected via RCA i suggest anything on this page:http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10236 (i have the cheaper ones and they work fine, if you want some flare, get the slightly more expensive ones) For the speaker wire i would get this:http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10239&cs_id=1023901&p_id=2789&seq=1&format=2 If you want to splurge and make really nice wires for your speakers like I did you can get the emotiva interconnect kits (1 kit per wire so for a 5 channel you'd need 5 kits) and emotiva wire (you can get it by the foot, you just have to call and specify your lengths). I did 15' runs for my fronts and i didnt use it on my rears since i didnt want to waste the cable knowing that in a few years ill be moving. The wires i made came out great, each wire lead gets a protective color coded plastic sheeth (red and black) and then you put on the heatshrink tube(this covers the base of the wire where you cut away the outter covering, half goes on the blue part of the wire and the other half goes on the 2 wire leads covered by the protective sheeths) and then you add the terminals. All can be had for under $100. None of the emotiva stuff i talked about here will increase your performance, it was just aestetically pleasing and the connection kits were very high quality. If you are on a budget and dont care, stick with the monoprice gear, if i didnt care thats what i would do! Emotiva Interconnect Kit:http://emotiva.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=77 Emotiva Wire (this is the spool, call to order custom length less than spool size):http://emotiva.com/shop/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
