Are these ready for standard red and black wires? Do they come attached? I'm hoping I can string speaker wire as long as is necessary. Am I right?

Yes... ready for standard speaker wire... whatever gauge you want to use. Really nice for the size.

no, these are a straight solder on (or twist on and electric tape, if you are unprofessional like me) connection. the existing wires should be fine and if they have an adapter plug like my ford's stock speakers did it can just be cut off. Best wishes.

They have small plugs you can remove and use a pin type plug or you can usethe stripped wire method. I bought the pin adapters for my speaker wires.

I'm pretty sure they will..I'll doublecheck and get back with you if I see they don't. I'm away from the house today, will check when I get home, however, I use fairly heavy speaker wire myself & I didn't have any problem.

No, bare wires are fine, unless you prefer the convenience of using plugs to connect and disconnect the speaker wires. How often do you do that? The terminals are designed to secure bare wires. I bought a box of banana plugs and wind up returning them unopened.

The wires do not come attached. Buy a good quality #14 gauge speaker wire and make sure you connect the color code of the wires the same way to both speakers to keep them 'in phase'. When you say "as long as necessary", I hope that doesn't mean more than about 40 feet.

the stripes would be on wires, if you mean the jacks, then those are the rear jacks and they should already be wired for correct positive and negative. If you're wiring your speaker wires to jacks for connection, I'm not sure which way it would go, sorry.

The speaker wires are about 5 ft. long and are the standard two-wire type that are very easy to connect at both ends. I would say they are the "standard" type.

So, what's the question exactly? Do you want to know if these speakers will work? Yes, they probably will. Connect the red wire to the red terminal and the black wire to the black wire terminal on the back of the speaker.

Hayes S.,That means we recommend using the wires included in the box. You may be able to use the wires depending on the gauge of pre-installed speaker wire and distance, but since there is a special input that connects the wire to the system for easy set-up, the included wires are designed to work with the system.Splicing the wires may work if you want to use your system and the wire gauges are the same, but without knowing more, it's difficult to know if your existing wiring is compatible.--Mr. S

Hello...these speakers require wires. I use them as surrounds in my 7.1 system. They are very good.

If the question is in regard to speaker wire connections, these speakers take an open speaker wire. I would purchase a set (4) of banana plugs from Amazon, Home Depot or an electronic store. There are many different variations that boast different quality sound so that in itself is a decision. See the video below for a quick video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybRqeCkgXWsIf the video is in regard to mounting, I would suggest you mount them to whatever you are mounting the projector to. The bracket shown has a set of 8 elongated holes, to accommodate for smaller or larger mounting applications. The speakers come with stainless steel screws that work well with wood, make sure to use a pilot hole so not to splinter the wood.

Dear P.F.,These speakers use standard spring clips to attach bare speaker wire.Eric C

No, they come with only a short wire attached to the speaker that you will need to add wire to.

Any speaker wires will do. Kind of depends how long of a run the cables need to be but 16 gauge should work. No special connections needed but again depends on your receiver. I used what are called banana clip connections but just wrapping the wire around the terminals should work. The wire should have two colors so you can connect the positive terminal on the speaker to the positive terminal on the receiver. PS. Very good speakers but you should also buy a woofer the complete the set.

Yes, it does come with wire, but not enough for a large room. You might consider getting an additional length of wire for the rear speakers if you have a large room. It will give you more flexibility in speaker placement.
