Konstantin Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I have got the following components: Yamaha RX-V385 AV receiver (https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-RX-V385-5-1-Channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B07BNXXJKB) Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer (https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-R-120SW-Subwoofer/dp/B07FK2WNW4) Klipsch RP-600M speakers (https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Reference-Premiere-Bookshelf-Speakers/dp/B07G3D2C8S) Could someone tell me what kind of wires I need to order please? From reading online, it looks like I need speaker wire like this one https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-16-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-4-Pack/dp/B07FYVXXBN to connect speakers to AV. Can I use the same wire to connect AV to sub? Do I need some adapters, banana plugs, RCA or whatever else?

billybob Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 @Konstantin ...are you getting the help you needed? Can you not use the wire you already have? Do you not have subwoofer cable? Thsnks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 As discussed in your earlier thread you need an RCA type cable to go from your NOW AVAILABLE pre amp/subwoofer out to your subwoofer in (LFE) or you could buy an adapter(splitter) for the RCA cable end that would go in to both RCA inputs on the sub and provide 6dB more gain. These are good inexpensive sub cables: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=2683 and this is the splitter to match: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=6261 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not pure copper but rather CCA (copper clad aluminum) and at 16awg it is the equivalent to 18awg pure copper wire. Keep this in mind when you make speaker wire runs longer than say ~15 feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I would suggest going with 14awg but here is a good example: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konstantin Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Thanks everyone, I ordered speaker wire (only 100 feet for now :), RCA cable and some banana plugs for convenience. Edited July 26, 2020 by Konstantin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
