Is there a way to hook up this speaker as a single channel? i.e., if you bought two, could one be only left and one only right?

No, correctly installed, there should be no change in sound quality. Be sure to observe correct polarity and use only 1 pair of terminals on each speaker for the left or right channels. Be aware that you are not utilizing one channel on each speaker.

I would guess that they shipped the wrong cable. I received a cable that connects with both speakers. You should return or notify the seller that they included the wrong cable.

One has to be plugged into the other. There's no selector switch. They're for computers and I think most computers have only one audio out port. Maybe try regular bookshelf speakers that you can wire into a switch.

That never seem to present as a problem. The 4 wires represent 2 pair (+,-) for left and right channels, and I just wired it to the same external speakers in parallel I have with my sound system. I have found the same result if I had wired an amplified subwoofer to my outputs either through the dedicated subwoofer channels, or tap into the speakers themselves.

You can get a sub cable at the electronics store and a splitter. It's. single on one in and red and white on the other. Plug the red and white into ur sub for better sound, then plug the sub cable into the sub connection in the back of the receiver. When u go into the menu of the receiver go into the manual select for speaker options and select 1 sub instead of two.

The answers about being two separate channels in the tube are correct. But there is an issue in the amp that needs a simple modification. Because of the way it was designed, there is an issue with balance and separation of channels. If you balance to one side or the other, there is still sound out of both left and right speakers or headphones.

Technically - both speakers are "active" or "powered." Also, both speakers are tri-amplified - three amplifiers in each cabinet. That being said, there should definitely be a left and a right speaker - just like any other stereo audio system.

You can't hook it directly to both speakers because the left speaker connection on the A5+ isn't exposed, only the right one. You can hook it to the line-out connectors. They are unfiltered full-range signals but you can limit them with the low-pass filter built into the sub.

Greetings, This is for one speaker only! I misunderstood and had to order another speaker when I purchased my pair.

If You Order Two Of These It Will Be For The Same Side! Either Two Left Or Two Right Side! So Oder (1) Of These And Then Look On The Site For ANOTHER PLACE Where You Can Order The BP7006... ONE Of Them Will Say RIGHT SPEAKER. That Means The Other One Is The Left Speaker. Make Sure To Check Your Order Before You Place Your Order And Remember That You can always Check With Customer Service At ANY TIME. I LOVE MY PAIR And I Hope All Goes Well For You. Hit Me Up When You Get Em And Tell Me If You Like Em.

I haven't done that but the on-line instructions say you can attach two sets of speakers with normal speaker wire and a woofer, and also use the RCA - but I can't believe you can use them all at once - sorry I can't be of more help - I'm just a novice

You would use the white one and black/white for one speaker side, the gray and black/gray would be your other speaker. It does not matter which is right or left as long as you match the pairs as I just stated.

I'm reading through the manual in anticipation of mine arriving, and it looks like you can wire them separately. The complexity comes from the fact that there appear to be two separate drivers in the speaker enclosure, but you only have a single center channel out of the receiver. The simple way to go is to only drive one of the speakers, and ignore the second driver in the enclosure. If you want to be adventurous, you could think about wiring the two speakers in parallel. The drivers appear to be 8ohm, so two wired in parallel would show a 4ohm load to the receiver. If the receiver is rated to handle a 4 ohm load, then you should be good to go. If, on the other hand you were to wire them in series, you would get a 16 ohm load, which would be easier for the receiver to drive, but would probably be too quiet. Good Luck

There are left, right, and center speakers built in to this bar. However they are all independent and need to be powered by and external amp. You could replace just the center speaker with this bar but you would be wasting the left and right speakers in it (unused).

Could you have two of your speaker wires crossed? This may sound dumb but at least it's an easy check. I've done it a couple of times and it WILL cause quite a loss of bass from your speakers.

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

Both cables coming out of speakers are fixed. They then connect to a duel plug. That is where you could extend one or the other. One is a basic RCA so you would need an RCA extension as one side would need to be female the other male. The other channel has an odd pin connector that I do not know. But extending the RCA should be easy enough. Whether or not it is the left or right side I do not know....and logistics at this time would prevent me from figuring out. I took a picture but I don't currently see where to attach
