How would I hook them up to my aftermarket radio? My RCA outputs are used but there are some unused speaker cables that are part of the radio harness.

The wires on these don't come prepared to plug into an RCA output. Its just long wires that end with a small coupling thing. I just cut off the coupling and spiced the wires with the existing radio harness wires and they worked perfectly. I've bought two pairs of these and was satisfied with the quality and sound for the price. They're not super loud though, if that's what you're looking for.

Buy after market connectors and attach to your radio harness then attach the matching one to your speakers

there are many way you can do this. All depends on your receiver. if your receiver has like little clips that hold on to the actual signal wire then you would need to get a pair of RCA cables plug them into the speaker and the other end you would have to wire strip them to the bare wire so you can clip them in. But like i said it really depends on the the receiver that you are trying to hook them up to

You mean the transmitter? I really have no clue. These aren't the highest quality speakers to begin with. Make sure your speakers and the transmitter are on the same channel/freq

These speakers were not made to be plugged into any RCA output source, (jacks). You will need to go to your local Radio Shack store and purchase and/or fabricate something yourself. Mine are plugged into a home stereo reciever that has both RCA and the jacks on these speakers.

They should be purchased separately. Normally you would be installing these in an aftermarket upgrade and use your new wiring. Most amplifier upgrade kits come with connectors, or you can get them at any hardware/electronics shop or here for just a couple bucks. The reason they don't come is that they would have to match the wire gauge you were using in the system. You would want to get both narrow and wide female spade connectors, or solder the wire to the speakers leads directly. If you are going to connect them to the stock wiring and need adapters, There is a company called Metra that makes wiring harness adapters that work well. I have done both with good results. Also, make sure you use the included capacitors on the + lead or buy "Bass Blockers" to prevent low frequency signal from damaging your speakers. These can't take low base and you will ruin them if you do not have some means of cutting off frequencies below about 100-200 Hz or higher. If you are using an aftermarket amplifier, it would normally have a High Pass filter setting that allows this, and you would then not need the capacitors. Your OEM amplifier, if there is one in your system, may also have this capability, but it is not always easy to find out it if does or not. It is NOT likely that a system that is has radio/CD player without an extra amplifier has this but a little research might be worth it.

I believe you would need an adapter for the power source. I used this unit in my vehicle, so my wiring harness came with the correct connecter. Contact the seller to see if you can get a .pdf of the wiring schematics, & that should give you a better idea. So other than the power source, all other connections are via RCA jacks. I hope this helped. Good luck to you.

They sound ok just being ran to the radio but to get max potential out of them put them on a small aftermarket amplifier. I used the infinity 475 high performance 4 channel

the RCA connections are only for input to the amplifier it has four speaker wires coming out. if this doesn't answer your question please provide a little more detail on what your trying to do and I will try to help.s the first thing I would recommend is not buying this amplifier.

You can buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K2TXMO/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details and hook it up to your stereo red/white input cables like these http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-RCA-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000UZ66YY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1321326192&sr=1-5 Thats what I do - but you've probably already figured this out by now. Thanks

You would half to cut and wire into your speaker harness. The amp directions tell you how to wire without rca's. The only easy part is being able to power off same harness

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 went to a local car audio store to get the correct wire harness adapter and dash trim/din set, I would recommend finding a local car audio store that sells those parts to you can connect everything right and have it look nice. Mine looked awesome and played great, I don't have the car I put it in any more, and I really miss it.

Yea take it to an audio person or store that sells car audio and I'm sure someone can wire it for you . Our just by new ones and electric tape them up

I have surround sound and all audio including comes through my speakers by way of my receiver. Where or how would I hook these up?

Just plug them in to the head unit. That's what I did for mines and they sound just fine.

Just use the in and out jacks on the back of the speakers. Out from the speaker connected to source in to additional speaker.
