Speaker wire? If yes, what kind should I buy?

The included speaker wire is not very long (the surround is 25 feet) and junk anyway. Get some 14 or 16 gauge. Don't waste money on overpriced garbage like Monster, go look at monoprice.com

I used 14g because I did not run them more than 20 ft from the source. I looked up the recommended wire size in a chart I found by searching the internet for speaker wire recommendations.

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

You'll need wires for the rear speakers if you want to put them in a surround sound set up, any wire will do, no need to spend a lot

Should be fine for basic audio. For High Wattage and high end speakers I wouldn't. I would use a higher gauge. Be careful of some speaker wires. Bought an audio kit for a car and the wire was so brittle, after a few months all the strands broke and no conductivity. It was at a fitting that went in the input to the amp. Caused by the vibration of the car and going over bumps broke it through.

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

You need to buy a roll of speaker wire. Short money, so get some good stuff.

Thanks, Daniel. I got 12-gauge speaker wire from monoprice and it works wonders :)

They do not have wires but instead clips you secure your speaker wire to. You will need to buy speaker wire seperately. Any 16 gauge wire will do fine.

I also purchased this, one of the items frequently purchased with the speakers: http://www.amazon.com/RCA-AH16100SR-16-Gauge-Speaker-Wire/dp/B0029HHIDY/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y

You can actually buy 24gauge speaker wire and simply cut and splice both the positive and the negative ends. That wire can easily be found at Fry's Electronics.

I recommend a good heavy duty speaker wire with banana plugs. Search Amazon in speaker wire with banana plug ends. On the sub, I use a Yamaha 10" which is somewhat overkill for the Polk speakers. I've been using juat the two Polk speakers on their own and the bass from these speakers is crazy. I turned off the sub since the bass was too much with both.

Wires are required for all speakers except the subwoofer. It comes with a cable for the subwoofer though and some cheap speaker wire. I used this: C&E 100 Feet 12AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable, CNE62270

These speakers have 1/4inch and XLR inputs so you will need to get a pair of speaker wires, I'll suggest a pair of from Stagg Twin Cable - Male XLR / Male RCA length of wire is up to you.

I actually used 16 gauge wire. I think 14 would work; it would depend on whether 14 will fit in the speaker wire recepticles. No problem at all with the 16 gauge.

Yes, you will need speaker wires. I hooked up monster cables. These are great speakers!
