Do I need a wire cutter/stripper for the supplied speaker cable?

Thanks for your question. The actual answer is that I've never seen the cable. Many systems don't actually don't come with cable because the manufacturer doesn't know your room dimensions. It's possible that supplied cable wouldn't be adequate for rooms of varying sizes.

You can grab the end of the wire with needle nose pliers, grip as much length as you want to strip. Pull taut and heat the insulation at end of pliers. The insulation will pull right off.

Yes, the speaker cable supplied with the unit is a single long length of bulk cable.

I would highly recommend getting some better quality speaker wire ( such as 16-14 gauge). The wire that is supplied with system is very cheap zip wire.

Wires. They have the screw-type of connector consisting of a threaded post and a knurled thumb nut. You screw out the nut revealing a hole through the center of the post. You feed the stripped speaker wire through that hole and tighten the nut. Simple and sturdy.

Technically possible; if you don't mind opening the Powermat (voids warranty), you can cut the wire to the audio speaker.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them

Yes you can replace speaker wire. I do not believe the speakers can be wall hung with our modifying the speakers.

just speaker wire is fine, you press the buttons on the back of the amp and then shove it in the holes then release the buttons. For the back of the speakers you loosen the terminals by hand and holes should appear from the top/bottom and you put the stripped end of the wire in there and tighten it up!

No, I am using the stock speaker wire. However, I do plan to replace it soon as it is quite small. It works fine but tends to easily get pulled out of the spring clips on the speaker if tugged slightly. I plan to use a couple of gauges heavier wire.

Everything you need to mark the the area to cut and ultimately attach in place is included. You will need some tools and of course speaker wire. Recommend monster cable due to the longer runs you're going to have with this kind of speaker.

Yes, this does work for trimming speaker wire, but there are many better options. A regular wire stripper (looks like a pliers with different gauge holes cut in it) works well for speaker wire.

I used a 3.5 mm audio cable. Cut it and wired as labeled - L, R, and the other copper wire goes to ground (I think I also connected the shielding strap in the insulation to G too, but can't remember for sure).

It was one big roll of wire that you cut to accommodate the placement of the speakers. It was very simple to strip the wire ends and hook up. Didn't take long at all.

No you don't. They have compression connections. Just strip speaker wire and wire directly. Great speakers for the price.

Any wire will do. I ordered the gold pin connectors and found them difficult to keep attached. I used regular speaker wire and it works just fine.

Yes, that's all you need to do. On most speakers, these wires are already marked and the two wires come off of the cross-over electronics board. On not too sophisticated speakers you just connect them in line, meaning you piggy-back off of the regular woofer speaker wires red and black. Most tweeters like these won't be damaged if connected that way as they have a good variance resistance, and they have a capacitor attached to one of the poles for protection. I use a couple of tweeters by themselves and work just fine. These I bought to replace some damaged ones in some speakers I bought used from a friend.

Agree with previous response. Unless your existing wiring is shot, just stick with it. Worst case you need to cut off the connectors and crimp/solder/splice in some new ends to fit the speakers.

No wire strippers. if you were good, you could use the wire cutters and strip with those. It's harder, but it works

No, my audio contractor just marked the area where the speaker wire needed to come out of the wall and the drywall installers were careful of that location. So no, i can't see a situation where you would really need it.
