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

[@justaguy4real]

Good job buddy, I learned something new.

[@vicmurai1033]

Thanks for your advice and help.

[@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

[@EchoRomeIndiaCharlie]

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

[@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.

[@charliewilson3369]

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

[@forgamers7470]

Is this will work in power subwoofer input from sub amplifier

[@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.

[@AnExtream-introvert]

Good work

[@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

[@Monk7500]

Nice video...I want this to know

[@MisikhayaRasmeni]

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

[@MarieGomezGomez]

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

[@MrMiyagi005]

yes. motherboard has rca connection

[@sackiteylawrence]

Thank you!

[@blazebott]

worked for me☺

[@gRosh08]

Cool.

[@dalilamuhammad1309]

Good job, thanks

[@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.

[@PaulMcGroinBigly]

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 😂

[@neilyhodgins3320]

very good

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@Rashon-rn5tv]

😂😂😂😂

[@Marvin_Neon_Playz112]

Nice

[@TricksTipsFix]

Thanks

[@JaydenSmith-ur2gu]

thx

[@blazebott]

works.

[@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

[@SuperAlpha1906]

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

[@otaku-station.89]

😂bro not working

[@AmayaArt793]

Theres three different ways stoopid

[@JonathanLeeWilson]

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