Will these connect my two Polk RX- 300 home stereo speakers to my new Onkyo TX-8020 receiver? The speakers did not come with cords or instructions.

If your speakers and your receiver both support banana plug connectors (they're usually black and red in color and require the connector to be pushed in) the cables will work just fine. You'll need two sets, one pair for each speaker.

These wires will work; they are designed for '3 way binding posts' which look like red/black circles on the rear of the speakers. The plugs on these wires go into the 'circles'; very easy! If your speakers only accept bare wire, the plugs on the wires easily remove by unscrewing revealing the bare copper strands. Your Onkyo has 3 way binding posts and are compatible with the banana plugs on the wires.

I'm not familiar with your speakers, and I know of any that come with cable if your speakers have a double connect (back) one indicating +&- with holes they will work, these cables are designed to be pushed into holes (banana connect) I hope this helps.

Hello, Absolutely, they will connect your Polk speakers to your Onkyo receiver. These speaker wires that I own myself are the best quality and sound that I have ever used.

They do not come with wiring. They are also not powered, you would need a receiver or some other amp to power these.

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.

You probably need an adapter and extender to use these with your home theater but they are very cheap. shop around ebay.

No, you can not connect these speakers directly to your HDTV, unless your TV has speakers connectors, which I have not seen one thus far. The do not come with any wirings/cords. If you want a 5.1 Surround sound or bigger speakers than your TV, then you will need the following. RCA Wirings to connect the TV sound outputs into a Receiver, which you need to buy [if you do not have one]. Then buy good speaker wires/cords to connect the Receiver connect to these speakers. The samples in the Internet seemed to be missing the Receiver. They only show the TV and the speakers, which is misleading to some who is not familiar to sound system set ups.

These speakers run off a stereo or a reciever. You'll have to wire them to one of those in order for them to work.

one more thing i forgot to mention son. remember this system is a 4 ohm system. you cannot hook it up to a "normal" stereo receiver because they are almost all wired for 8 ohm. my son`s friend bought these after hearing them at my house and hooked them to an integrated amplifier his buddy gave him and blew them up. my apologies if you already were aware of this.

These speakers do not come with wires. To connect them to amplifier/receiver you'll need wires, which is usually the case with any stereo system.Regarding the computer - I'm afraid that a typical sound card of a computer/laptop will not supply enough current to make these speakers work.

No such thing as a stupid question,these are not what you need, these are very nice stereo receiver speakers, what you need will cost much less than these. These will not work for just hooking to your computer, not at all.

No. They connect via 1/4" cables, one for each speaker. You need an audio interface.

Good speaker cables will work and connect to your receiver. I am very pleased with the sound of my Bose 301 speakers.

Good speaker cables will connect to your receiver. I find the sound of these Bose 301 speakers outstanding. They fill the room with wonderful sound. I do not know about the computer to receiver hookup. Try the "HELP" of the receiver manufacture.

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...

Speakers do not have to come the same manufacturer. In my case I am using the stereo unit with an existing built-in speaker system. There are several stereo speakers in different rooms so in my case I need & use an impedance matching unit so that I do not burn out the amplifier in the stereo receiver. If I recall correctly the Onkyo unit I have has to be connected to 8 ohm impedance speakers. I don't recall the power output per channel, but I suspect you could get away with speakers rated for 30 watts or greater. Hope this helps.

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.

They will work very well. I used them as such and they worked out well. Polk makes a great bang for the buck speaker. You will not be dissapointed. Just make sure you get the matching center channel.

Hey Matt, we just purchased the Onkyo cs-355. we attached a pair of Yamaha speakers to it.... works great!
