Depending on your receiver you could go one of at least three ways here.. 1: some receivers have RCA plug ports as well, so you would just connect as normal. Some have only a single RCA port to which you would need a single male end and the Y connect would be female. 2: you can simply cut the male RCA ends off of one side of the cord and take the insulating plastic off to expose the bare wires. Now if you have never done something like this before and have half a brain note to self that each section of cord has a positive and a negative inside...you will need to double check continuity against what single wire relates to either the centre pin or outside ring of the RCA cable that would be plugged into the speaker. .DO NOT reverse the polarity most devices hate that and have no problems showing you how much by having internal components (usually the ones you cant read the numbers on and or the ones not available to the general public). My experience is that the outer ring is the negative and is the bare copper wire inside the insulated cord...but check for yourself. I take no responsibility for any mishaps that may occur from doing this or any of the suggestions i type in. 3: some receivers have a 3.5mm output in the back sort of an auxiliary audio port. Again you would then need a Y adapter suited to the application. 4: And the last one i can think of is a HDMI output from the receiver to which you would need a converter box to take the digital signal and convert it to analog (RCA) to then connect the speakers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
