How hard is it, and how long does it take to cut the speaker wire? Is it one big long thing of wire?

Yes. It is one long roll of speaker wire. Cutting the wire is easy with proper wire cutters and stripping the end to feed into the speakers. The most work is in threading the wire from the the main console to the speakers. I concealed mine in the walls and had to thread them up the wall over the ceiling and back down the walls.

It was one big roll of wire that you cut to accommodate the placement of the speakers. It was very simple to strip the wire ends and hook up. Didn't take long at all.

The kit comes with a coil of zip wire. I purchased and used a heavier guage. You'll need wire-cutter pliers and stripper pliers. The speakers have spring loaded insert connectors and the amp has standard post and finger-nut insert connectors. Each speaker is wired separately to the amp and connected to its marked post connectors (positive and negative) on the back. The wires will be distinguishable by gold or silver color, a white stripe on one wire or ridges molded into the plastic insulation on one wire so you can distinguish positive and negative.

It's one big piece of wire. With scissors it took me about 4 minutes to wire all the speakers.

The speaker wires vary in length depending on how far they are required to be from the DVD unit, i.e., the woofer speaker that sits near the unit is about 10 -15 feet long. The rear speakers are about 25 feet long. I have a large living room with vaulted ceilings and there is plenty of wire. I have a 2-year old Sony and the remote works fine when the proper codes are put into the unit. I use a DISH satellite remote to control the unit, TV and more so I don't need the TV remote. Be ready to get a little frustrated when talking to Samsung service reps. If you need service, their deep, off-shore accents can drive one crazy. I hope this info is helpful. G.

It is only about 8 feet. You can use a longer one than the one supplied with the speakers, (there's nothing special about it) but I would use a heavier gauge speaker wire. I would still, even then keep the length under 14 foot long. The wire terminals on the back of each speaker will accommodate a very heavy gauge wire. I kept the 8 foot length, but replaced the original wire with a heavier one anyway~

The speakers are wired. I don't know how long the wires are, I'm not using it at the moment. As I recall, however, they're pretty standard.

Each speaker comes with about 10 feet of wire, so that each can be placed anywhere from next to/ to 10 feet from the main unit. I don't know if a longer wire will adversely affect speaker performance.

Comes with wire that you will have to measure, cut, trim and install to speakers. Its really easy.

I love this thing and want another one, yes it comes ready to go, I used speaker level inputs, it was way easy to hookup, hook this to stereo and your speakers to this, and that's it, it comes with speaker wire, but I just used my own, you can hook it up with an rca cable, but you would have to get one, but why would you, when they make it this simple, hope this helps

Everything you need to mark the the area to cut and ultimately attach in place is included. You will need some tools and of course speaker wire. Recommend monster cable due to the longer runs you're going to have with this kind of speaker.

The wire is short about 6' on the front speakers, and about 12' on the rear speakers, I have RC jack cables and female to female RC adapters connecting the cables together. That way I can make the wire as long as I want.

Hello It took me around 30 minutes to install --- and have not had a problem with it yet --Yes - it did reduced the noise through my house !!! I would buy it in a minute if I had to Installing - Be aware that you need to glue (Plastic Pipe Glue) a small piece of pipe to the value, top and bottom, I needed this to connect it to my rubber extenstions on my copper pipes. it was like 6-8 inches of piope to both sides

you can easily crack it open and cut the wires going to the clearly visible pc speaker, then just pop it back together. did it on mine..i was afraid of it not fitting back together, but they're nice tabs that are meant to be opened up and put back.

The wires are pretty small and equally brittle. However, I had no problem splicing and stripping them and I'm no expert. So it just takes patience and a steady hand

Thanks, Daniel. I got 12-gauge speaker wire from monoprice and it works wonders :)

the speakers are wired with USB connections. they are about four feet long. The wire is hardwiired into the speaker.

Biggest speaker wire you can find.They need a lot of power to drive them properly. And the mounting clamp is huge, you'll need at least a 2" diameter speaker bar to clamp them on.

Yes you can replace speaker wire. I do not believe the speakers can be wall hung with our modifying the speakers.

The cable is somewhere around six or seven ft. You can cut it and make it longer as I did by splicing and adding speaker wire to it. Not a problem. Hope it helps.
