Cool.

I have one problem one of the RCA output connectors on Marantz CD63MKII original SE is not sending the sound signal in the left speaker, when I move the cable's lug up the sound appears in the left speaker, when I released it the sound dissapears, please I need an advice how to repair this since I am not an electronist.

[@GHHF666]

Stupid question: does this also work the other way around? Would it ibe possible to connect a denon AVR front speaker output via speaker cable directly into an stereo amp (analog input RCA)? Would the volume level be higher if taken directly from the amplified speaker cable signal or would it be converted down to similar effect as when using pre-out RCA? Could this damage either amps or would this just fail...?

[@charliewilson3369]

Thanks, it works but it doesn't sound that good. But it will get me through until I get some better RCAs.

[@blazebott]

works.

[@butthole778]

Good job

Nice

Thanks

Are the two wires negative & positive wires from each speaker? My amp has 4 jacks in the rear. Can I plug any of the 2 RCA plugs into any of the 4 jacks ?

[@osopena3979]

Double check your RCA's. Some amps have double inputs while others have input and output. Never mix your input with output.

[@user-rb8wy6du4n]

What if I have 1 sub output that is rca and my sub is red and white wires?

[@canniloni]

hi! do you know what to do when there’s absolutely no information on what Ω my tv is? my speaker is a 6 Ω
edit: i found the manual for the TV (which is very old, from 2008), but i’m not sure what to look for because the manual doesn’t mention ohm in the audio part, it says “output power 10 W + 10 W”

[@bytarik]

I don't think your TV output is enough to power speakers without an amp. Best to do is just buy a small amp(something like a class t amp) and connect the tv to amp. Then you can connect your speakers to the amp.

[@canniloni]

@@bytarik thank you so much for the help, i appreciate it :)

[@bytarik]

@@canniloni Yeah no problem.

[@chrispilkington7612]

It makes a difference which wire is used when you are splicing the speaker wires into the RCA plug. Speakers have phasing and you need to make sure that the negative or positive in each of your splices is identical.

[@guanedits6349]

Oh my nagative wire is bigger than my power cord' could that be the reason why its not working when i connect it to my deck?

[@0rurin]

I'm a bit confused, I thought you need to break up the two cables into two plugs, since there are one connector for each, the positive and the negative end.
You can just connect both to a single male plug, and leave one of the two connectors empty?

[@Hans57116]

Im confused aswell, did you find answer?

[@onve383]

i thought that too , connect 1 wire to a white plug , other to red plug (left/ right speakers) for stereo,...... on expereommentation, doesnt work, different wires , too thin, and youll only get a poor sound if you could manage to get a sound at all anyway, much better buy an amp, sound way better, especially old ones with equalizer, why would you want to connect wires? ,just doesnt make sense at all, plus youyll ruin your cables, wires are for amps, plugs are for inputs, and you can run whatever you want thru the amp, tv, radio, stereo, phono, even mini dvd playerwith screen with usb plug, download music off youtube, and convert to mp3, simple really, and just push the input button what mode you want, tv stereo, radio, everything

[@Jairoalvarz]

he shows it near the start. each rca cable runs two wires! The two wires that go into a speaker are just voltage and ground. You use 2 rca cables (red and white) because you have left and right

[@osopena3979]

​@@Jairoalvarzright so in terms of using subs or other speakers in pairs. Wouldn't we use both RCA's instead of wiring them down to a single plug?

[@jianliu7516]

The wire inside the RCA is too thin. just buy the RCA to speaker wire adaptor can save your time and money for the RCA cable

[@rhodagunn5075]

How does it save money if you have to buy it?

[@jianliu7516]

@@rhodagunn5075 The adaptor is cheaper than RCA cable, and you can easily connect the thicker wire for better quality
