My speaker wires on my Jensen JHT140 DVD Amplifier System got wet from a flood (3 yrs ago) but three of the five speakers & subwoofer still work & have been since the flood. What are the name of the wires so I can get replacements to try the other two speakers? And where can I buy them?

Flooding which occurred three years ago could not possibly still affect speaker wires. Have you checked all the connections? Did any of the speakers themselves get wet? Still, if you want to get new speaker wire, just take a short piece from the existing wire to a good electronics place to make sure and match the impedence. They're not "called" anything except speaker wire.

try using power directly from main to the remote terminal to see if headunit has a problem or the amp.please disconnect remote from head first.

Hi Matt,
I assume you have probably got the answer but just in case you haven't. I just opened the box on a unit someone gave me and I have the harness. From left to right the first pair (top and bottom) are the left speaker + top and left speaker - bottom. The next two are the right speaker. The next two are left signal in and the last pair are right signal in.
I'm looking for an instruction manual if there even is one.

This sound is made by the automatic shutdown in the speaker. Jensen repaired my unit under warrantee.

Yes, watch out for bad wiring! My father's 73 chevy caprice caught fire because of an amp that was wired in poorly. If you have a multimeter it shouldn't be too hard to find each speaker wire, as the speaker will show up with a certain impedance, Like 4 ohms of 8 ohms. Wiring it in phase is the real trick. For that you can only hope there is some sort of color code that the car came with, and there is a pretty good chance there is. I am assuming you are looking at the chopped radio wiring harness. There might be something like brown with a white stripe, and white with a brown stripe. It could also just be brown, and brown with a white stripe. You get the idea. They should all be wired in the same pattern, If they did not do this, then the some car manufactures just have better standards. I believe you can take a AAA battery and hit the two wires you know to be one speaker, and you should hear a pop from that speaker. I would be careful doing that if the speakers are really old, but it should be safe even then.  
Its amazing what a 15 dollar multimeter can do in everyday electronics. My friend and I built an electric motorcycle, and obviously its very crucial for that, but I have used it for tons of things besides that. Especially old car wiring.

Unable to receive optimum output. The bass is totally flat !

Hi, ok the Bose Acoustimass III system consists of two small cube speakers and one subwoofer unit called the Acoustimass bass module. If the subwoofer stops working, three points can be the cause of the failure. The Bose Acoustimass III is a passive system, meaning the speakers do not power themselves, but instead are connected to a receiver or amplifier. Thus, the amplifier, the speaker between the amplifier and the subwoofer, or the subwoofer itself could be the issue.

Things You'll Need:

* Amplifier
* Speaker cable
* Extra subwoofer


Instructions


Disconnect the speaker cable from the back of the Bose Accoustimass bass module and connect it to a subwoofer that is known to be working. If the subwoofer works, the bass module needs to be replaced.


Disconnect the speaker cable from the back of the receiver or amplifier you are using and from the back of the subwoofer in Step 1.


Connect a speaker cable that is known to be working between the back of the receiver or amplifier and the back of the Accoustimass module. If the module starts working, then the cable was the issue.


Disconnect the speaker cable from Step 3 from the back of the amplifier or receiver, then connect the cable to the subwoofer port on the back of an amplifier or receiver that is known to be working. If the subwoofer works, the receiver was the issue. If the subwoofer still does not work, verify that the speaker cable is in the subwoofer port of the receiver/amplifier and that the cable is connected securely to the subwoofer.



If you think you did the connection properly,Fine... If not you can use the manual from the below link and know how to connect it properly..

I have a subwoofer and speakers from a surround sound system but the dvd part has blown up can i use the subwoofer and speakers with another unit

sure u can. but depends either your system is active or passive. active means the speakers (or sub) driven by built-in amplifier, so the dvd delivers a low signal to the speakers amp and they amplify the sound for the speakers. passive means the amplifier is built into the dvd and delivers the amplified sound signal to the speakers thru speaker cable. if you tell me model number and brand i can find out what type they are.

I'm considering buying the 180636 "surround sound bar speaker system." My question is, is this JUST a speaker system, which needs to be connected to a separate amplifier or "home theater...

The bar speaker system needs to be connected to an amplifier. What the bar speaker does is replicate a five speaker home theater system using just an amplifier.

The only thing that will give you a better sound quality is some type of amplifier/speaker set-up, wether you choose to have an amp and two speakers or and amp with five speakers and a subwoofer is up to you.

Subs quit working its not the amp they were working fine

How do you know it's not the amp?  Have you tried hooking up good speakers to the same output terminals of the amp?

Speaker failure modes: Usually they fry, the foam surround disintegrates, or there's a bad internal wire connection/solder joint that fails. Subwoofers are designed to handle a lot of power and rarely fail.

There are three possibilities: 
1) The signal isn't getting to the amp from the crossover.
2) The amp is toast.
3) The speakers are bad. 

You don't tell me whether you have a separate amp for the subs with an external crossover, or whether you have one amp with internal crossover and separate internal amps and speakers outputs for subs and standard speakers, so I can't be more specific.

What you can do is:

Check all external connections, including the power connections.

Try substituting replacements for the patch (signal) cables to see if you have a bad cable.

Beyond this, it's pretty much up to a repair technician.

4 chanel amp I dont know how to conected,to radioand one subwoofer

Hello canelo63,

Your question appears under the product listing for the Dual XPA4100 but the in the text you say the amp is actually a Jensen, so it's not possible to provide specific connection information.

But most bridgeable amps can be connected to a single subwoofer and the other two channels used to drive a set of regular speakers. I'd connect the front speakers to channels 1 and 2 and wire the subwoofer to the bridge connections of channels 3 and 4. On the XPA4100, the bridge terminals are the first (negative) terminal on channel 4 and the last (positive) terminal on channel 3.

Hope this helps.

Bac speaker bose 321

The arrays from this system are only designed to run with the Bose Acoustimass / subwoofer, which in turn will only work with the Bose DVD player. If you use them directly to an amplifier, they'll sound poor / wierd and you probably blow the drivers. You might even damage your amp.

Each speaker has 2 drivers firing in slightly different directions. The idea is (when its used with the 321 system), the inward speakers give a mix of front and centre, the outer drivers give a mix of front and rear. A normal amp won't do this....

400 watt amplifier not working

Disconnect all the speaker wires from the amplifier that runs the 6-speaker system. Switch off the amplifier or disconnect the remote turn-on wire, then re-connect it. Does the power light still flash with no speakers connected? If so, your amplifier is probably damaged. If not, then connect one speaker and see if it plays. If it doesn't, disconnect the first speaker and connect a different one. If the first speaker plays, continue connecting the rest of the speakers until you find the one that's causing the problem.
