jimjimbo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 You will be using a single pair to each speaker from the amp. One positive (red terminal on the amp and speaker), and one negative (black terminal on the amp and speaker). Be sure that the same wire is connected to the same terminal on both amp and speaker. Left and right connections would be as you face the speakers. Do I understand that you will be replacing the speaker wire? Hopefully so. 14 awg should be fine.

Yes, I am replacing the wire. I did fine when I connected the new Klipsch surround sound... it was just the dual wires coming to each corner speaker that were throwing me. I now believe dad had bi-wired them (as many suggested here), which I just read was very popular in the 70s and 80s to supposedly reduce impedance... and I suspect he did that due to the length of the wire run. Instead of bi-wiring, I will use a single wire to each speaker in a lower AWG and should end up with the same or probably better results. Thank you all for your help!
