You connect the left speaker (only) to power and the signal source. The right and left speaker are connected by speaker wire.

Tom: you have one controll unit, and the slave. The controll unit it the heavier one with the inputs and outputs. You connect the slave speaker to the controll unit. You run all inputs throughout the controll unit.

Just one connection in each case. BTW, the speakers are great. An owner of the company says that no subwoofer is needed (in a very quick reply to my emailed question) and he was right. The bass is great. Enjoy!

you have to plug one speaker into the other and the other speaker into an outlet. Then connect your computer/ipod/phone into the speaker using the cord provided

An amp.is probably required to power the speakers if their watt rating is high. If the wire is RCA to bear end speaker you could give it a try directly to the speakers. If it's RCA to RCA I wouldn't cut the end of the wire for speaker connection.

There is no special set up required. When we first set them up we found one worked and one didn't. The plug design allows the cable to be plugged in either way, but only works one way. Try plugging the speakers in again by flipping the cable over.

I get the need for the AV cable, but does a single male to male cable work? The subwoofer has left and right in-jacks, so do you need to buy a female to male splitter to connect to the male/male cable coming from your receiver's sub/out? I think the instructions say you can hook up the AV cable to the sub/in Left but why wouldn't you want to use a right and left sub/in hookup? I don't get it? Also, can someone tell me whether 16 g speaker wire is good enough or is 12 g better? I'm not too tech-savvy.

I need more detail regarding this issue. These speakers are self-powered and do not require a power source to provide sound. It requires an input source that uses an xlr or 1/4 mic plug. Some mixers have xlr outputs to make it easier to connect. From there you can connect other inputs using Rca connections. Hope this helps.

It's quite simple really. Each speaker has a Micro-USB input port (AUDIO IN), and an AUX output port (AUDIO OUT). The USB cable provided is a Y-type cable; on one end you have Micro USB that always goes to the speaker, on the other end you have two connectors; standard USB for charging and AUX for audio. You can connect your audio device to the speaker via AUX (device) to Micro USB (speaker). Then connect a SECOND speaker to the first speaker the same way you connected your audio device to the first speaker. This bridge can be repeated indefinitely with more speakers to simulate a surround effect. But I recommend you to do it with the same type of speakers, for if you change it, sound quality will decay.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE ASKING!!! I USED REGULAR SPEAKER WIRE TO CONNECT TO FIVE EXTERNAL SURROUND SPEAKERS. THE SPEAKER WIRES WERE CONNECTED TO THE PROPER pioneer audio outputs on the back of the amplifier. The subwoofer came wit a single output cable that plugged into the back of the pioneer specifically marked for the subwoofer. Hope this helps.

Per prior answer - DO NOT plug any of the cables into the outlet. Just connect into your right and left main speaker wire +/-. You can also connect the pairs of sub wires together if using a single sub output or separate amp - but go to the polk site for instructions on which wires to join.

Just one USB connection. All USB-powered speakers I've seen work the same way: the two speakers are connected by one wire, and one speaker has a USB cable and a stereo miniplug cable to connect to a computer. Interestingly, the first time I used them, I didn't have to connect to any audio source. As soon as I plugged into power, I picked up a local radio station. No thanks. I'd rather spend twice the money for ten times the quality. Walk away from these. Any Logitech set will make you happier.

Just forget the 2 wires and daisy chain at the speakers. You only have to use 2 wires correct? connect those to the exsisting speakers and daisy chain off the back in. I would have to see your setup to help more. There are several companies that sell speakon splitters however, just google search "Speakon Splitter" Hope this helps

Both would need to be plugged in. When you daisy chain you are just sending the signal from one speaker to another. So yes they both have to be plugged in and turned on.

You will need a seperate amplifier. This boosts the signal depending on how you set the channel outputs, but it is not made to power speakers by itself.

Some Receivers/Amps allow you to Bi-Amp. So you can connect one set of wires to the top and one set of wires to the bottom. This separates the Highs and Mids from the Base and produces a somewhat clearer sound. But if you don't plan to bi-amp, then just connect your speaker wire on any pair. You'll notice there is a flat gold-colored piece of metal that connects the two sets and it works fine that way as well.

don't understand the question. ??? two wires per speaker one + and one - you need two wires.

you connect the speaker wire to the plugs it's great once you get it hooked up. no more wires bending when you plug them in! :)

If you are using two speakers, then yes. You need one for each speaker to go from speaker to amplifier. These are 'speaker cables,' NOT 'Line' level cords. You'll need a pair of 'Line-level' cords, (Same as guitar/instrument cords. One each for left out & right out of the mixer), to pass signal from the mixer, (Assuming it is NOT a powered mixer), to send signal to the inputs of the amplifier. The speaker cables then go from the output of the amplifier, (Left & right 'Speaker out'), to each speaker. The dual inputs of each speaker are looped. Therefore, you can use either or. (Unless it is a bi-amplifiable speaker, then use the input marked 'Full-Range' only) If it is a powered mixer, you only need two 'speaker cables.' One for each out, (L&R), to each speaker.
