The back speaker wire isn't long enough to reach to the back of the room. How can I splice the wire and still get it to hook back up to the receiver? Please give a very detailed description, and video or pics if possible. Please in everyday English, I'm not a tech. I also understand that doing this could void the warranty but IDC I want to be able to use them the way I had in mind when I paid for them.

Could you specify the model of the Sanyo speakers?

you would want to bridge them you take 2 pieces of speaker wire long enough to reach each sub and connect one side to the box and the other side of wire to the sub then you take your other speaker wire and hook it up to the sub you already hooked it to then run positive and negative to the other sub

try to get a "speakerwire to rca cable" connector. hook it into your back speaker wire and run your amp off of that. then hook the sub up to the amp as usual. without an amp, just splice into your closest speaker wire

My guess is you have coax speaker cable -- if so, you can use standard audio cables with RCA plugs -- Radio Shack would have them -- match plugs so you can chain the cablestogether.

If you have twin-axial speaker cable, best approach is to just buy speaker wire of the correct length... or if there are plugs on the current speaker wires, you can splice in enough new speaker wire to reach the new location for the speakers.

Coax looks like a single cable, but has one conduction inside the other.

Twin-axial has two obvious conductors, side-by-side.

I would disconnect the power before doing anything! then go to radio shack and buy a cable with the correct plug on it. Then i would cut off as much as possible of the old cable to the speaker, but leave enough room for splicing effectively. Then i would cut open the radio-shack cable and connect the wires of that cable to the remaining wires of the old cable still attached to the speaker. red is left, black is right, and the un-cased wire is negative. Try to figure out what is what on your old wire so that you can splice everything together accordingly. I hope this is not too confusing!! Good Luck!!

very simple run a ground from gnd on amp to a good ground spot on car run 12 volt power cable from back of fuse relay by battery to 12v+ on amp then splice blue wire on back of stereo splice in another wire about seven feet run that to remote on amp then hook up speakers its pretty simple to hook up an amp hope this helps

yes splice it to the rear door speakers with the proper kit

Sure you can, Joel.

Put the speakers wherever they will go, and cut the wire from the speaker to whatever length you need to reach your wall terminals. Leave some slack so you can move the speakers if needed. Strip off whatever length of insulation you need to make the terminal connection. Note that the speaker wire will have some kind of polarity marking. There will be a colored stripe or other mark on the insulation, or the conductors themselves may be different colors (usually one wire is copper, and the other tinned so it's silver colored). It doesn't matter which you use for positive as long as you're consistent and use the same one for each speaker.

At the other end where the prewiring comes out for your home-theater system, splice the connector ends you cut off onto the installed wires, following the same polarity. I recommend using an appropriate size insulated **** splice to make the connection. The crimper and splices can be found at auto parts stores, Radio Shack or most hardware stores. It's quick, reliable and makes sure there are no bare wires to short out.

Plug the speakers into the system and you should be good to go. Whip up some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Sir,
I do not want to insult you in any way, but I must ask just in case it was overlooked! First check to be sure that the speaker settings on the stereo were not set all the way to the front. If that is not the problem, you can hook another speaker you know works to the wireing to the rear speakers to check to see if it is the speaker or the wireing. If you hear sound from the speaker you know works, then your speakers in the car are bad. If you do not hear sound, then it will be from the wireing. Next is the more difficult part. You will have to pull the stereo out and can splice into the wires. Hook the good speakers up to the splice and check for sound. make sure you know for sure the wires you splice into are for the rear speakers. If you still hear no sound, then it is more then likely a problem in the stereo itself. If you do hear sound then there is a problem in the wireing somewhere and may be easier to just run new wires to the rear speakers.

If it has spring clip connectors you can buy any 12 gage speaker wire any length you need and run it from your amp to the speakers. Do not try to splice the wire or you could put the speakers out of phase or short out the Amp.
