Hi,What do you mean standard speaker wire? if you use a bigger wire than original is better for the signal.

I don't your "standard" wire. I screw 20AWG to bindind posts, bought at department store, about 10ft long, with speakers about 5ft from amplifier. Be consistent with the polarity. Those speakers are not for audio purists anyway, so any sound degradation is practically unnoticable. 18AWG is also good for home, anything thicker, stiffer and more expensive is a waste of money. Don't worry too much about what they prove with their super-expensive test equipment readings

Im sure u can, u would have to splice into the wires, cuz the sonnections are RCA jacks.

I installed these speakers in cabinets for a 5.1 surround sound system, so they should work with a 7.1 system and yes they require speaker wire.

No, these are are replacement speakers and will work as is. You might want to use adapters for the wire connections if space is limited. It makes the installation easier as you don't have to splice the wiring.

You will need a receiver or amp, speaker wire and wire cutter to connect them. It takes some work but it's not that bad.

I don't believe so. The speakers require the use of speaker wires, though I only recently learned of adapters for such things. I don't know how well they would work with the speakers.

You will have to cut the connector off and hardwire it to your speaker. Use waterproof splice connectors. Also make sure you get a wire diagram or write down whicheck color your old connection hooked up was positive or negative

YES They are 2way stereo speakers if your karaoke system can add speakers then they will work.

Yes and no! The speakers provided have proprietary connectors going into the system. You can of coarse cut the connectors off leaving a couple of inches of wire and connect your own. I have not resorted to that yet. It appears you can get the genuine article now at about $11 each (Sony Part# J-2501-295-A/Sony DAV-BC150). I saw some packs reporting to be these on one the auction sites - some with wires much cheaper than that, but you need be sure they are the right connectors. "Real" Sony connectors were not available at all last time I looked but now I see them, since I have some good speaks to connect I will shell out the $20+.

Yes, make sure you connect the same colored wire to the same colored post on the two speakers. I have the gold colored wire attached the the black post on both speakers and the silver wire attached to the red posts on both speakers.

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.

Garrett- I went to a local stereo shop and bought a high quality speaker wire. But any speaker wire will work. The better the quality the better the sound though. Hope this helps.

No, these speakers are designed for speaker wire. There might be some kind of work around with adapters or specialized connectors but to truly appreciate the sound these speakers produce you need a receiver. Sorry.

yes,just conect them to the mixer...Do they have rca outputs? If the do, you connect them to the mixer and run the mixer through an interface to the speakers...

You can easily hook these up to a Logitech 2.1 computer speaker setup and replace the mains. But you do need to make sure that they arent the hardwired type and can accommodate a speaker wire input. Also that the power output of the system is at least as high as the nominal power required by the Polks. I'm doing just this very thing, replacing the two main front speakers with the Polks on a Logitech z5500 system. Already replaced the rears with little Bose cubes.

Nope bare speaker wire works too. Thats how mine is rigged up. Sounds great on a pair of decent bookshelf speakers.

Speaker wire will fit. With the RCA plugs it will NOT fit. Let me know if you have any other questions.
