Question by : Why would my Surround speakers for my tv only have 1 output that works?
I have this surround sound and out of all the speaker inputs in back, only 1 works. I checked all my speakers. The only other one that works is where the sub goes. Any ideas?

Question by Carefree Alpaca!: What is the best impedance level for a home audio system’s speakers?
I am thinking of getting a new home audio system, and I was wondering what I should look for in the impedance of my reciever’s output and speakers.
I know it’s measured in Ohms, usually 4,6, or 8, but which would give the best perfomance? I’m looking for the most accurate audio reproduction.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I’m not looking to spend over $ 600 for the system. The best impedance rating withing this budget…

Answer by flapjack
characteristic impedance is not a nominal factor. Make sure both your amp and speakers are measured over the entire audio spectrum not just 1K Hz . Balance is much more important to consider. Make sure you always listen to the set up the way you intend to have it before you commit to much.

Question by Bryce: Is it possible to integrate wireless speakers with my current surround sound system?
I have a Philips Home Theater Audio System w/ Upconverting DVD Player & iPod Dock, HTS3565D/37 and the speakers that it came with are wired. I was wondering if it is possible to integrate wireless speakers from other companies or even Phillips so I wouldn’t have to hide all the wires.
I’ve tried researching on the internet and cannot find anything out.

Answer by Carlton your doorman
Well, this question creates a bit of a quandary for me. Playing Sherlock Holmes, I can make the assumption that since you use a metric reference that you are in the UK or some part of the former British Empire. Perhaps Australia. Your Yahoo profile gives me no clues. Given that, I hesitate to use the standard American Wire Gauge (AWG) with which I am familiar in my answer but it appears that I am forced to. Also, the 1.5 wire is a mystery. It corresponds to no wire gauge cross reference that I can find. Perhaps it has been rounded off from 1.45mm which is a standard metric wire measurement. Additionally, you state that you need 32 Meters of wire. (!) That’s more than 100 feet! I’ll assume that you want to buy a 100′ roll of wire and that your surround speakers are not in a stadium like environment 100′ away from the main speakers.
The system to which one attaches the wires makes no difference unless it is of an extreme nature, high power PA style or commercial line voltage type for example. Given that, the typical home system that you are setting up should need no special wire. However one should always use wire with adequate conductor thickness. This reduces resistance and power loss. Generally, 16 AWG wire is adequate for most installations. If the runs are inordinately long, say 50′ or so, 14 gauge might be a better choice. If nothing else one should avoid the thin, 20 gauge, “zip wire” that is often sold as speaker wire. Therefore, my suggestion to you is to look at that 32 Meter roll, try to verify that it’s conductors are at least 1.44 thick (the actual copper wire, not the plastic insulation) and / or find a marking that gives it’s size in either AWG or SWG. 16 For AWG and 17 or 18 for SWG. Another clue to wire quality is if the conductor is a single or multiple strand. The aforementioned zip wire is usually a single strand. It is undesirable for a number of reasons. Any adequately thick speaker wire would be too inflexible for home use if it’s conductors were of a single strand.

Question by asere: Surround speakers are a little low to be able to hear the effects?
I have in ceiling 75 watts Proficient brand speakers with a Yamaha AV receiver. My center channel is set at max with the speaker level setting and my left and right speakers are set a little lower than the center and my surrounds even lower than the L,R speakers. I don’t hear the surrounds very well and maybe because its set at a lower level. Can the surround sound speakers be set at the same level as the L,R speakers or should I leave everything as is?

Answer by Lance
If you don’t have an automatic set up in your receiver, get a sound level meter from Radio Shack or other electronic stores, then set it up on a tripod at ear level in your ideal seating position then play a white noise test signal either generated by your receiver or get a set up disk…level the sound from speaker to speaker until they are all putting out the same level and its right according to the meter… slight tweaks and further adjustment can then be made by ear but usually the meter will have it right…

Question by : Where can I get a Samsung surround sound dvd player without the speakers?
I purchased a Samsung surround sound system about 4 years ago and the dvd player that came with it does not work. I don’t want to have to get new speakers (since mine work perfectly fine) but I don’t want to spend 400 dollars on a bulky receiver. I basically just want a replacement of what I have now (except with blu ray). I do not need all the features of the big expensive ones. I just want a simple sleek one like I have now that has the ports that match the surround sound speaker wires that I currently have. The ports that kinda look like a ‘B’.
Best answer:
Answer by TV guy
If your Samsung surround system has at least one s/pdif input port, then just buy any BD player, connect its s.pdif output to your Samsung system and you are done!
If not, there is not much you can do…

Question by Seymour Butz: In an 04 BMW 325i, why do HK speakers sound so horrible? Is it just me?
I used to have a 2000 Honda Prelude with a 200 watt 6 speaker acoustic feedback sound system that destroys my 325′s 12 speaker HK sound system.
The HK speakers have no bass, they high’s crack some times. They just don’t sound good. Is it just me or do you have the same problem?
Also is there a way to get those supposed subwoofers in the trunk to pump out some real bass?
Bavauto sells speaker replacements which supposedly solve the problem but they are real pricey at almost $ 600 for 10 speakers.
Best answer:
Answer by M333
I don’t think they sound horrible. Not the best, but the only issues I have are panels that vibrate in the car, mostly in the doors and the rear parcel shelf. I haven’t had any problems with the highs. The dual 6x9s in the trunk aren’t meant for really low bass, just to help out with normal bass.
