Not sure what rca means....I used the same speaker wire I used for my other two speakers.

I did not use them for car speakers but in my past experience, 16gauge wire should work fine for standard speakers but it would not be adequate for subs.

No wire, but 14 Gauge is fine. People who spend hundreds on speaker wire are crazy. I've been in the recording industry for 33 years and we all use 14 gauge. BTW, this speaker is great for the price. Good Luck. Bobby

I am in a different location from the speakers. If I remember correctly, the two speakers are connected with a wire (provided).

Hello...these speakers require wires. I use them as surrounds in my 7.1 system. They are very good.

They do not have wires but instead clips you secure your speaker wire to. You will need to buy speaker wire seperately. Any 16 gauge wire will do fine.

Nope. I bought,Mediabridge 16AWG Speaker Wire (100 Feet) - Spooled Design with Sequential Foot Markings. Speakers sound wonderful, one I mounted then up on the walls.

I actually used 16 gauge wire. I think 14 would work; it would depend on whether 14 will fit in the speaker wire recepticles. No problem at all with the 16 gauge.

12 gauge speaker wire should do the system justice (14 would probably be fine too, really)! I wouldn't go too crazy with brands or anything though. I hear they sell 12 gauge speaker wire of good quality at Lowes for just $0.27/foot. For the sub-woofer however, splurge for the monster cable connect for 30/40 bucks. You bought yourself a great system... you will not believe the unbelievable, precision sound. Best of luck my friend. -Eric

The wires do not come attached. Buy a good quality #14 gauge speaker wire and make sure you connect the color code of the wires the same way to both speakers to keep them 'in phase'. When you say "as long as necessary", I hope that doesn't mean more than about 40 feet.

Im sure that the speaker wires in your walls are of better quality than the ones that are supplied with the unit. usually the ones they send with the unit with what you would call starter wires. i always upgrade my wires with at least 16 gauge name brand wires . Such as monster cable.

We used 14 gauge speaker wire. On back of speakers used positive wires (could be red, white or striped) into red clip slot, and negative into black clip slot. On our receiver there are wire nuts that the wire (as above positive on red and negative color on black wire nuts) There should be an area indicating surround sound, rear speakers) We had a diagram that came with receiver that showed which speakers went to each jack and wire nuts) Hope this helps. Hope you have a diagram in your receiver book, that helped us or we would have been lost.

If my memory serves me correct, the speakers didn't come with speaker wire. I bought a roll of medium gauge speaker wire. The thicker the wire the better the low end sound. I'm not talking about monster cable, but not the smallest gauge wire especially if you want to spread them out about twenty feet or more. I have about 15 feet of wire on mine.Hope this helps.
