Home theater problem.?

Question

In my home theater system I use a different cable (other than the cable supplied by the manufacturer) for the rear right speaker because of the length of the room..
Is it because of this reason the sound from this speaker is less comparing to other speakers? Is it necessary to use cable with same specification as supplied by the manufacturer

Answer 1

Not really. However, I would suggest that you get a matching cable and length for both rear channels for best results. Quality is very important when you use long lengths.

Answer 2

Unless the cable is very small in diameter, it will not affect the volume from the speaker. It does not matter what kind of cable you use as long as it is big enough to carry the load, and anything the size of lamp cord or larger will do it. I suspect you have a hook-up problem with the right rear speaker; check all connections and make sure it is connected to the right amp terminals. You should run the test tones to balance your system, but if there is a big difference in level settings between the rear speakers, something is wrong.

Answer 3

Well, it depends. If your home system has a specific speaker wire (i.e. 22 gauge @ 16 ohms), then yes it would make a difference. If you use a thicker wire, ( lower gauge... not recommended for most all-in-one systems), the ohm count goes down, more power is sent to the speaker that has the correct ohm wire and that could not only affect your sound, but damage the system as well. Make sure the wire that you are using is capable of carrying the right amount of power to your speakers.

Check your audio set up for your receiver, and make sure it is set up correctly. This usually involves checking your speakers to make sure they are all at the same levels and telling your receiver the speaker distances to make the proper speaker adjustments.
Also the rear speakers are usually not as loud as the front speakers, and are not constantly playing.
