are other speakers compatible with this system? if not, can you splice the wires together to make them longer?

I would buy longer higher quality cable and check with Best Buy or Fry's about what speakers might be compatible. You also may need a more expensive system.

speaker wires go straight into the speaker through a tiny crack hole, there is no coupler or way to fasten the speaker wire at the speaker end. However, the speaker wires are fastened to the back of the amp/stereo using your typical coupling system (you push a lever, a round slot opens, and you feed the speaker wire into the hole and then depress the lever and spring action clamps down on the wire, holding it in place, so if you want to lengthen your speaker wire, you'd just twist tie the extension wire on to the existing wire to make it longer.

I took 2 other small speakers and put them in the same jack as the 2 main speakers. It seamed to work well in tell i realized that the sound quality was diminished because the power was being reduced by so many speakers. You could just take another pair and use that but you can run the risk of blowing out the speakers or your system. So check your speaker you would like to use and make sure they use the same range of power as the sound system. And yes you can splice but make sure its the same wire size. Hope this helps

If you're going to use the wires that come with the system you would have to splice. Or, you can buy extension cords that can add more length without splicing.

If you are using stripped bare wire, yes. Tighten down the caps. I would recommend getting some banana plugs, I have these same speakers and use banana plugs, it makes things a lot easier

all 3 speaker cables are approx 6 ft long. The left and right spkrs can be extended because they plug-in. The sub-woofer is hard wired to the control pod, so it cannot be extended. Hope this helps you!

The wire is joined only at the end. Each speaker wire is approximately 3 feet long. Also, the speakers aren't labelled left or right.

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.

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

The speakers are not wireless but it comes with a lot of wire already. The subwoofer has a custom connection and if you need more cable, you will need to cut it and splice in your own to make it longer. For the others, standard speaker cable will work and just connect the leads and secure with electrical tape.

Yes, of course. The wire is quite thick relative to the speakers, so they compel you to place the speakers on their sides. Some people appear confused by this, but in reality it is not a problem. The only real limitation with these speakers is the volume, which really isn't very strong.

No. Each speaker has a set of wires with bare ends that stick into a hole in the sub and secured with a spring loaded clip; typical of most speakers. Each speaker wire is approx 3-4 feet long so it is possible to extend the length with extra speaker wire. Unfortunately, the right speaker has the controls for volume and sub level, which plug into the sub using a round plug. This plug cannot be easily extended.

The speaker wires that come with this system are not the best. First they may be to short especially for the rear speakers, and second the quality of wire is sub-par (not that good).Best if you get a 100 Ft. roll 18 Gauge Speaker wire from any electronic store. I prefer Radio Shack. and last you are assured to have enough wire to run it anywhere you like. Just remember measure twice cut once! Good luck. Willie L.

Yes. In fact, you can't really attach them to the stereo like you might with other systems. Also, the wire for each speaker has a plug head instead of an open wire (or whatever the terms for those differences are). This might make it slightly more difficult to add more wire to the speaker wires, if you wanted to extend them and place the speakers farther from the stereo. The system, right out of the box, allows the speakers to be about 4 feet from the stereo.

You would have to cut & splice the wires - wires as they come are def not that long.

I don't see why not? you will just have to splice the wire to the speakers since it has it's ownconnection. only thing though is if the surround would be able to drive your new speaker?ig: enough power or same impedance or not, you should find out first cause I don't know if that is relevant or not.....hope this helps......

The back speakers shouldnt be a problem with lengthn. But the front ones only go about about 2 meters long..
1012256
Yes you can. They use the old fashioned way with twisted wire ends. I added a Polk sub-woofer in addition to the standard speakers which works well. Check the wattage for any larger speakers.

You can separate the speakers from the unit. The cables that come with the unit are about 5 feet long. I have my speakers separated from the unit and pointing in a specific direction. The speakers and unit have "banana clips" that enable you to use any speaker cable you want. My son has speaker cable twenty feet long. His unit works perfectly. Hope that helps.
