How to Connect Speaker Wire to RCA Plug - 3 Ways!

[@justaguy4real]

Good job buddy, I learned something new.

[@kevinnash-arnold1032]

dont buddy me shithead

[@wyooilpatch]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I didn't know you could convert the speaker wires to an RCA plug. Short & right to the point! Also appreciate info on ohms!

[@vicmurai1033]

Thanks for your advice and help.

[@EchoRomeIndiaCharlie]

This was a great video, I did not know it was so easy to convert speaker wire to RCA. Many thanks. 👍

[@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?

[@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?

[@djlotusx]

​@osopena3979 in theory, you would have to make 2 sets of these cables to make a left and right channel. Positive and negative are on each cable so each channel needs it's own RCA.

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@osopena3979wiring to a single plug at best reduces the audio to monaural and at worst fries some mosfets or whatever if the amplifier isn’t designed to bridge

[@JonathanLeeWilson]

RCA Connectors are not meant to carry the amplified signal that your speakers require. Not only that, but RCA output terminals don't send the amplified signal anyway. They send a line level signal (non-amplified). What you would need is a discrete amplifier in between your RCA terminals on your playback device & the speakers. What's scary is that this video has a good ratio of likes to dislikes. It's making me wonder if we can't trust that system any longer.

😂😂😂😂

[@AnExtream-introvert]

Good work

[@vicmurai1033]

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.

[@DarkoVladev]

Can I connect passive subwoofer to RCA plug just like you did and the RCA end connect to the pre out? Is it going to work?

[@blazebott]

worked for me☺

[@Monk7500]

Nice video...I want this to know

[@enlaviaconmaria]

Could this same process work to connect a speaker to a computer? Thanks in advance.

[@MrMiyagi005]

yes. motherboard has rca connection

[@BradOlsonBemidji]

In fact, a lot of speakers used for the inexpensive all-in-one stereos from the 1970s use RCA inputs for the speakers so if you need new speakers for one of those systems or to replace the speaker wire for those speakers, this is how to hook them up.

[@forgamers7470]

Is this will work in power subwoofer input from sub amplifier

[@sackiteylawrence]

Thank you!

[@gRosh08]

Cool.

[@dalilamuhammad1309]

Good job, thanks

[@Greenbluesforever-yj3el]

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...?

[@fishhuntadventure]

Some amplifiers can take an input that is ‘high level’ some cannot. Most have low-level rca inputs

[@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

[@rumourplays]

Lol​@@rhodagunn5075

[@tommyfalconey]

When your speaker wires are coming directly from a record player for example, you can't

[@VisualReality801]

@jianliu7516 no shit stupid ass but that doesn’t help if the late at night

[@Akinloluolubanzy-g3r]

Can i plug it into my phone

[@neilyhodgins3320]

very good

[@charliewilson3369]

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

[@BradOlsonBemidji]

But it is useful for if you still have one of those 70s all in ones with the record changer with the flipover stylus and separate speakers that plug into the RCA.

[@MisikhayaRasmeni]

How connect amplifier and TV together to get a sound of TV through speakers?

[@Rowdy_Rodster_get_down]

Lmao hey guys just use dental floss instead of lamp cord and you can drop down as low as .25 ohm with no damage to equipment 😂

[@Marvin_Neon_Playz112]

Nice

[@TricksTipsFix]

Thanks

[@JaydenSmith-ur2gu]

thx

[@ShadovvV]

Unfortunately, what you've shown here does not split the right and left channels, which means you're only going to get one side of the audio, depending on whether you plug into the red or the white.

[@mandongbagsik480]

Bro there is positive and negative that connector...the red or the cover is positive and the wire which is no cover negative or ground...dont told is no matter or problem...make your demo bro in truth thanks

[@conniedenton319]

Thank you! this is the info i was looking for. It does matter. and i was guessing that the little red wire is the positive. but i didn't want to guess at it... If I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying that the little wire covered in the red plastic is the positive. and the loose wires around it, with no cover, are the negative.

[@conniedenton319]

I'm just trying to get sound from my projector's audio jacks to my old school speakers.

[@blazebott]

works.

[@MatthewGarraway-w2n]

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

[@jhrochester]

Red and white just mean left and right. So if you run your sub off one input, you might just get left. Or righr

[@jhrochester]

You would wire your other side into the opposite color, and have Left and right red and white

[@skwissgaar_skwigelf_kdz3251]

your rca has two wires in it one not coated just kinda braided around the red or white coated one split them up and thats your left and right

[@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.

[@curtisi4403]

A Line Out Converter is a better solution.

[@SuperAlpha1906]

not understanding the purpose of this video if you have to have a reciever regardless

[@BradOlsonBemidji]

As I have mentioned in my replies, there are speakers that came with all-in-one systems from the 70s that use RCA plugs as the connector for the speakers. If you have to replace the speakers in these systems, converting the replacement wire to RCA with this adapter is the way to go.

[@otaku-station.89]

😂bro not working

[@AmayaArt793]

Theres three different ways stoopid

[@JonathanLeeWilson]

@@otaku-station.89 That's because the information is bunk.

[@ThaiRoney]

Don’t reuse rca head

[@digitalzomby]

You said it doesn't matter which wires are connected together. Of course it matters, you have to have the positive connected to positive and negative to negative... you are absolutely wrong!
