Look carefully over the entire length of the wire for any puncture or crushed insulation. Cat teeth, especially kitten teeth, can exert needle-like pressure that could sever the wire without leaving easily visible damage. My rock-headed cat does this too.

Almost universally, a red or green colored wire is (+) and a copper colored wire is the ground (-). Make sure the same colored wires are soldered together.

The best way to repair headphone wires is to offset the solder joints of the (+) wire and the ground wire so that they don't short circuit. Inotherwords, don't have the solder joints opposite of each other so that they might touch together.

A good quality shrink tubing should go over the repair to relieve stress on the soldered joints. These wires, by the way, are enamel-coated and need to be tinned with resin-core electronic solder before joining and soldering the wires together.

Don't breathe the fumes when soldering and wash your hands after you are done handling the solder.

Lost surround Onkyo sr 60.1

It sounds like there may be an issue with the amplifier or the speaker wire. The fact that the channel has come back after reconnecting the speaker wire in the past suggests that the problem may be with the wire itself. However, the fact that the cat has chewed on the wire may have caused damage to it, which could be causing the current issue. It could also be an issue with the amplifier, such as a burn out on the right surround channel. To determine the cause of the problem and whether it is worth fixing, it would be best to take the amplifier to a professional for diagnosis and repair. The cost of the repair will depend on the specific issue that is causing the problem.

I have a sound problem with my montgomery ward sentry sound bar , when its connected to to my tv and work great then i unpluged it moved it put back together its doesn't have sound?

Could be an internal effected by disconnecting when the sound bar when the power was still on. Always remove or connect speakers or other electronic devices at power-down (not active) as transient current can damage sensitive electronics. Check you wires, cables, and in/out ports for defects or dirty posts, etc. Perhaps the dog or cat chewed on the lines....never know.

No sound in right speaker.

Strip the rubber off both broken ends very carefully, then off the 2 wires in each end, so you can see the metal in the wires. Connect one metal part of each end to one metal part of the other end, twist them to lock them to each other. Do same for the other metal part. Make sure the wires do not have their metal parts touching each other.

One of the wires from the main speaker got chewed off by my daughters pit rabbit. The speakers are not working due to this and what is the best way to restore functionability to the speakers?

if you can replace the speaker wire would be the best way to repair your sound but if you cant replace the whole speaker wire you might have to replace a section or join the wire together using a soldering iron or a crimper joiner peal at least 2-3mm of the plastic covering the speaker wire separate/spread the wires then intertwine them together to solder them together you must flux the wires before soldering if you use the crimper slide the crimper on to the wire before you intertwine them or you might just join them together intertwine them and place some electrical tape around the join
hope this helps

My cat chewed the wiring on my Bose in-ear headphones

Of course. Just peal off the main isolation and connect wires according to color of their individual isolation. You can just twist them and wrap them with duct tape or solder them and wrap with duct tape.

My cat recently chewed trough 220 Volts stereo power cord (fortunately unplugged) and trough speakers cable too. They work perfectly again after quick fix while my room has become off-limit zone to my cat. ;-)

Better get your tomcat fixed or find him a girlfriend unless you'd like to risk him getting killed when he starts chewing some power cord.
