Just got a old ankyo that was gonna be thrown out and after some troubleshooting and like $40 I have a lot better sound than my tv speakers now. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to set up an older JBL home theater system that was gifted to me and am running into an issue identifying the polarity of the speaker wire. The wires aren't colored, however, one side has a white line running along the casing and the other doesn't. Which side would go into the positive input of the speaker/receiver and which would go into the negative?
I have a question? I just received a pair of Akai sw120. My problem is it has a mono plug, but the mono plug I found have a diameter too large for the speaker wire. Any help would be appreciated.

Great content . How would connect home stereo receiver to 1/4 PA speaker? The receiver has the wired push down connector
You may need to do a crossover with wires to the new connector
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to set up an older JBL home theater system that was gifted to me and am running into an issue identifying the polarity of the speaker wire. The wires aren't colored, however, one side has a white line running along the casing and the other doesn't. Which side would go into the positive input of the speaker/receiver and which would go into the negative?
White or line wire is positive.😊
That’s right white line side is positive. Technically you can use the white line for positive or negative as long as you have the same on both ends.
Your video is great I learned a lot and got a Freeee subscription
Is the white stripe on the wire positive or negative?
It can be either one it just gives a way to separate the 2 on each end.
I have a question? I just received a pair of Akai sw120. My problem is it has a mono plug, but the mono plug I found have a diameter too large for the speaker wire. Any help would be appreciated.
You might need to attach 2 wires together to switch plugs.

You need a bass blocker. Use the same speaker wires just extend them to the tweeters with the bass blockers
Ok

Jude use a small piece of wire and connect the left and right to bother the driver and tweeter. But on the positive side you need a tweeter crossover.
