We moved into a house where the previous owner had a home theater with a Bose system. Thus the house is prewired with wires using the Bose connection at both ends. I do not have a Bose and have a yamaha receiver. My question is can I just cut the ends the Bose wires at both ends. The end where the speakers attached is the propiertary Bose connection. The other end where receiver sits looks like a "RCA" type connector. Will this expose more standard speaker wire that I can then connect to the receiver and my speakers?
Some Bose systems have bare wire speaker connections on one end and RCA plug on the other, with this system I am sure you could cut off the RCA pug and use the wire as a normal speaker wire. I don't think it would be different with a wire with a dedicated speaker plug on one end and RCA at the other. Is the wire structured with two strands like a normal speaker wire? See if one wire has some small writing on it so you can determine left and right. Use the one with writing as the right side but it would not matter as long as you are consistent.
