Bronze Member Username: InopethflamesPost Number: 12 Registered: Jan-09 | i just got a new speaker system - Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Entertainment System & im waiting to see reviews on the new 2009 receivers before i get that but ive never set up a speaker/receiver system before, my previous one was just a home theatre in a box thing so i didnt have to buy any speaker wire to hook them up, it just came with something. so does anybody have suggestions on what kind of speaker wires to get, preferably that are sold on amazon. also the same question for the subwoofer which i guess needs an rca cord or something. i really dont exactly know how to connect & install this speaker wire stuff to start with but i guess i can find help on doing that. |

For very good quality "budget" RCA interconnects, try any of the following websites. http://www.parts-express.com/home.cfm?CFID=8418419&CFTOKEN=10651632 http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp http://www.audioshowcase.com/index.htm Needless to say, there are more expensive options & and perhaps several less expensive options. |
