For those of you NOT connecting these to a zone 2 on your main AV receiver, how do you power these?

Personally im using dedicated receiver for my speakers outdoors with a Zone 3 line ran to it. I am using a dedicated receiver for the purpose of the "A" & "B" so that i can control two separate zones in my yard. Ex. Zone "A" is around the pool and Zone "B" is the BBQ lounging area and when we are having a party Zone's "A" and "B" at the same time. But these speakers do need a dedicated amp to run them but any amp with a minimum of at least 100 watts per channel will be ok. but it really comes down to how much you want to spend. Check out "Sony STRDH130 2 Channel Stereo Receiver" or even some cheap Pyle stereo amps here on amazon.

you need to connect this to does your av receiver or stereo amplifier, does not have any ac connection or an amplifier in it. The voltage needs are not needed for this model.

Unless our receiver has a switched outlet, you can't.You have to operate it separately

they do not require electrical power. The back just has the two speakers terminals on it. No jacks for an non-amplified signal.

Receiver powered. No external power required. I'm using them for rear surround speakers and they do an awesome job !

Sorry, can't answer that. The ABX and I are in different locations at the moment and I don't have access to the manual. I'm sure an Onkyo techie would be more than willing to help, however. Good luck.

Hook it up like you would one amp. Then splice off the wires near the other amp and hook it up. This is a complete no no if you are using high powered amps but since it doesn't draw much power you are safe doing it this way.In response to what Brandon says that's all you need is a RCA splitter and splitters for the power and remote wire and buy another ground wire (DON'T split off the ground those need to be separate). Have fun and good luck!

That is what I am using them on. Just watch the power pass. Cable from the box to the box has power the other cable goes on the shielded side.

It depends on the amp. I have experience only with Onkyo and Yamaha, both of which have a "zone 2", which is what is hooked up to the speakers in another room. In this case you would hook up the 'zone 2 out".

U need 1 set of RCA jacks, u hook the output of one to the input of the other that will allow u to watch the same movie on both... u set the reciever side to AV1.. As far as power goes you only need to connect 2 wires +12v to the red fused wire and black to ground..

You must run these speakers through a receiver. I have an inexpensive Pioneer 5.1 Receiver and I really like the sound from these speakers. Your TV will not power this speaker system.

These are not wireless. You need to have these wired directly to the source.

Frank, there is no "A" or "B" speakers, just "Front". If you need to wire a second zone, you have to connect the speakers to the upper front or surround back input, I don't remember well right now. Regards and good luck.

I have never actually used Zone 2, but according to the Instruction Manual you will need a second amp

I have a similar issue with multiple sets of speakers I wanted to run off Zone 2. I connected two 4 foot lengths of speaker wire (R&L;) to the Zone 2 posts on the receiver, and used them as "pig-tails." Then I routed all my various zone 2 speaker wires to the pig tails, connected pos to pos and neg to neg. Works fine.

Yes, this is the way I use it. I use the surround sound inside and zone 2 is set up outside.

If your receiver is powering the speaker zones, then I would say connect it to " speaker out" on the receiver.
