Any stereo amplifier these days can connect to a speaker from the 1950's. You will just have to connect one side, left or right, to the speaker. You won't get stereo. If your receiver has the option, you should select mono output to combine the signal of both channels. Never connect the left and right speaker leads together to one speaker.
Speaker cable is used to connect the speaker outputs on audio devices such as a receiver or amplifier to the inputs on the speaker(s).
I wanted to put a new receiver in but i need the speaker wires to be plugged into the wiring harness and i cannot find them. i can find them by the speakers, but the do not go to the receiver...why is this? and where are they
A 14 speaker jack can be connected to a stereo tuner music receiver via an RCA connector.
You can connect a 14 speaker jack to a home tuner stereo receiver using the RCA connector.
For a 2000-watt speaker system, the receiver should ideally have a power rating that matches or exceeds the speaker's capacity to ensure optimal performance and avoid distortion. A general rule of thumb is to aim for a receiver with a power rating of at least 50-75% of the speaker's wattage. Therefore, a receiver with around 1000 to 1500 watts would be suitable, depending on usage and listening preferences. However, it's also important to consider the impedance and efficiency of the speakers and receiver.
At the rear of the receiver there is a single RCA jack (phono socket) that is marked "audio out" and "sub-woofer". This is a mono feed that can be connected to a powered sub bass unit. It will not drive an un-powered bass speaker that does not have an internal amplifier. If the bass speaker is not powered, the audio out from the receiver can be taken to a single channel of another amplifier and the bass speaker then connected to the speaker output of the amplifier.
The best bet would be a Yamaha or Denon. These are great receivers with a wide product range with plenty of price points. There is nothing made specifically for the Bose systems, any receiver will work. The two brands I mention carry all the hallmarks of quality at reasonable prices while still catering to audiophiles at their high end.
Communicattion is a process.It has a purpose,a receiver and a speaker.
Any receiver with regular speaker outputs and a power rating of 10 to 450 watts per channel will work. The active equalizer included with the 901s is optional and is designed for amplifiers with RCA tape loop or preamp out/ power amp input connections.
To use the headphone jack on a surround sound AV receiver while still getting audio from the main speakers, you typically need to adjust the receiver's settings. Many receivers have a feature that allows simultaneous output to both the headphone jack and main speakers. You can check the receiver’s menu for audio output settings, often found under "Speaker Settings" or "Audio Output." If your model doesn't support this feature, consider using a headphone amplifier that connects to the pre-out or zone outputs of the receiver.
Both the sender and the receiver
You need a receiver with an HDMI output, such as the Sony STRD series of receivers. Your '5.1 Surround System' sounds either like a surround speaker set with no amplifier, or a system designed for computers. The Sony receivers will amplify passive (non-powered) speakers, but the subwoofer will need to be powered. You will then need to purchase a DVD or Blu-Ray player with an HDMI output. Alternately, you can purchase a Blu-Ray Home Theatre system, which includes the BluRay player and receiver (1 unit), and matching speakers. The Sony BDVE systems are a good place to start.
