Here's a stupid question. Can these plugs also be connected to the back of a speakers connectors or are they just for connecting to a receiver?

Banana plug to banana plug. Most speakers these days have 5 way banana plug binding post connectors that will also accept bare wire.

No, these speakers are outlet plugins with headphone jack connectors. I do not use this system anymore.

If they are going to be used with Bluetooth, they would have to be connected to a power source/receiver/system with Bluetooth capability. These are speakers only and are not a self contained system that you could make a Bluetooth connection to directly. The same applies to non Bluetooth applications - they need to be connected to something to power them/push the sound through them. Mine are connected to my sound system that is part of my main audio/video setup

No, these speakers only use standard speaker wire connections. You would need to use the optical cable to a receiver and connect these speakers tot he receiver

Brian,I'm sorry no one replied to your question. I only just got this system myself last night. You could not just plug your speakers in, because the system uses a proprietary method of plugging the speaker wires into small jacks on the back very similar to telephone jacks. You could splice the open end of the speaker cables to your existing cables, though! Not an optimal choice, I know, but a choice, nonetheless.Good luck!

I don't understand your question--you speak of connecting one regular speaker wire to these rca connections, but this _is_ the speaker wire, so it sounds as if you're asking about connecting a speaker wire to the speaker wire. This product is only used to connect speakers that have a single rca input on the back to a receiver, so on one end of each wire there's a male rca jack, and on the other there's two strands of bare copper wire that you connect to the positive and negative terminals on the back of your receiver. The rca jack does not plug into the receiver, as there's only one rca plug per wire--so if you're looking for speaker wire with rca plugs on the receiver end, this isn't the right product for you.

Yes, there a red and white, or left and right RCA plugs in the back. if your speakers don't have these type of plugs go to Radio Shack and they should have the adapters you need to make the connections. Hope this helps.

I don't think they were meant for it, but I do know there is speaker wire that goes into a 3.5mm that the klipsch pro series uses, i don't know if you could use that to plug right in or not, and that would depend on how many connections your computer has

You could use these for your front L/R speakers. There's no way that I would use then from my rear or my surround speakers. They're too big for surround or rears. You didn't mention your receiver model. Of course, if it's only a 5.1 receiver, you still need to upgrade to a 7.1 receiver.

you can hook these speakers up to a non-bose receiver or amp which i've done before. You'll have to do some tinkering with the speaker wires to make it work. These bose speakers require the new connectors whcih you can purchase anywhere on amazon. The other end of the speaker wire would have to be plugged into your receiver or amp with banana connectors or other terminal ending. It's definitely easier if you connect them to a bose subwoofer but it's not a requirement. Hope this helps.

No such thing as a stupid question,these are not what you need, these are very nice stereo receiver speakers, what you need will cost much less than these. These will not work for just hooking to your computer, not at all.

I used a set of RCA plugs, stripped the wires and connected to speaker wires so I could plug into the back of the tv. I thought this would work, but I was wrong as they did not produce very much sound going directly into the audio of the tv. I eventually wired them into my center channel speakers on my home theater and they produced the sound I was looking for out of them. I would suggest if using these you would need a receiver to plug them into and not going into the tv directly.

They require a AV -Receiver or a separate power Amp. I used these for rear surrounds for years and they were the bang for the buck for sure. Good sound too!

No these are RCA jacks. I use them to split the imput on my sub's. They are the same as the ends that go into the back of a A/V receiver. Punch in 3.5 mm jacks and see what comes up, I'm sure there is something that will suit your needs.

Hi Michael D. Linde,No, these speakers must be connected to a receiver because it supports LEFT and RIGHT(red and black) connections that receivers only has. Thanks. >joffrey

These are passive speakers, not a stereo system. Must be connected to an amplifier or receiver

i wouldn't recommend it .... as these speakers are meant to be used with an A/v receiver as the rear surround channel and love to be powered ...
