Speaker terminals on back of the RX-v3800: How do you hook up speaker wires to the back of this model?
819007
Two comments - the photo of the back panel (full panel) is wrong - that is the picture of the flagship RX-Z11 - you can easily tell because the speaker wire terminals are split with half on the left and half on the right. If you actually have a 3800 and are asking from personal experience, then you should be able to dig up the stuff that came with the receiver - there was a small "tube" that is actually a speaker terminal "wrench" that you can use the tighten the terminals with - I agree they are very tight and it's very hard to get bare wires in the back. Banana plugs are better, but then you have to terminate all your wires, or buy them to length.

My speakers hook to an amp, that has the same connects as the speakers, so I used regular speaker wire. If yours has jacks, I have used cables that had the proper jack, and cut of the jacks on the opposite end, to hook the speaker.

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.

The wires are only wired to the connector on the one end. They are bare on the other end. You can clip that end into the provided speakers, other speakers, or (as we did) tape them to the existing wires for our installed speakers.

Bare stripped wires go into push locks like you see on one speakers. Hope this helps. I actually modified mine to have a plug on the back. If you do make this mod, make sure the plug is come tell isolated. The chassis can have connection to the speaker wires.

Screw terminals are used, just use regular audio wire, then get a banana plug wall outlet

Standard speaker wire connections. Very simple. If you go to Infinity's website and look up the model it will probably have photos and or diagrams with all the details.

I just wrapped the speaker wire around the speaker connection on my speakers, and it worked fine (I had the same issue - my amp only had RCA output but my speakers needed regular speaker wire)

No, you would have to buy a wire harness, usually a few bucks, and one would connect to the factory harness and the positive and negative sleeve right on to the speaker's terminal.

Hook the speaker out terminals from amplifier to column control box. Hook one pair of speakers to each output of column control box

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE ASKING!!! I USED REGULAR SPEAKER WIRE TO CONNECT TO FIVE EXTERNAL SURROUND SPEAKERS. THE SPEAKER WIRES WERE CONNECTED TO THE PROPER pioneer audio outputs on the back of the amplifier. The subwoofer came wit a single output cable that plugged into the back of the pioneer specifically marked for the subwoofer. Hope this helps.

If the back of the speaker has a black Neg tab, and red Pos and not RCA jack connects then on the Amp unit you wire it using the screw down points on the amp pos to pos, and neg to neg on the speakers, now it it has RCA jacks mounted both input and out put and you have RCA on the speakers then that can't be any easier RCA in , RCA out out to RCA speaker input. Then all u should need is a power supply to power the 12v to power the amp, using a inverter will work fine , us maybe a 800 watt max, 400 watt continuous you should not have any power drop from itand a car stereo can hookk to the inverter as well all could be mounted on a nice piece of sanded plywood whatever your intention.

You have to use speaker wire from the receiver to the sub, then your front speaker to the sub which is a hardwired way to do it...

Press the speaker wire gently into the back of the upright support rods. There is a slot cut into the upright supports for this.

You must connect the source of the exit of the "output" to the entry of the "input" of the reicever by RCA cable or an HDMI cableand then you connect the speaker to the back of the reciever in the " center " entry

Use crimp on female conectors. You can find these at Walmart or autozone, etc. Crimp them on each end of a length of wire. Plug one end onto the speaker and plug the other end onto the back of the quick conect ports on the inside of the box. Put some polyfil stuffing from the walmart craft department into the space inside the box. Drop your speakers in and screw them down. The polyfil fools the speakers into thinking they are in a bigger box, helps them perform.

there is a speaker wire with a fitted connector that plugs into the back of the receiver. It is color-coded to make sure that each speaker gets plugged into the correct place
