Missing s750 speaker wire

does anyone know where i can go about getting replacement speaker wire for the s750? i've moved a ridiculous amount of times and lost track of my rear speaker cables.

From what I can tell from my S750s, you should be able to go to any Radio Shack and buy a new wire. Just make sure that the plug in to the Sub woofer is the right size on the one end and it really wouldn't matter what the other end is because you plug in bare wire to the actual speaker itself. Find a 2 wire... err WIRE with the right connector for the Sub and strip it on the other end to connect to the speaker. Sound simple... yes? Make sure you get the right length of wire!

  • Speaker Wire

    I just bought the 7.1 creative s750 speaker system, and I was wondering if anyone knows any kind of speaker wire I could use that is a little higher performance than the speaker wire that comes with the system? I have looked around and I can't find speaker connections with one end an RCA connection, and the other end a positive, negative end to plug into the back of the speakers. If anyone knows where I could find that type of speaker wire that is hire end, I would really appreciate it.

    You could plug them into the 3.5mm speaker output on the back of the computer.
    Yes, there are speaker wire to RCA and then RCA to 3.5mm headphone plug cables/connectors.
    But that wouldn't really be good as the power otuput of the computer (500-600 mWatts?) would not be enough to power the speakers to an acceptable level (probably 1 watt minimum).

  • Replace speaker wire

    I have one FPS1500 and one speaker wire is broken. How i can disassemble this speaker to weld the wire again again?Antonio

    I've replaced the front speaker wire on my s750's with QED 25th anniversary silver plated wire.You will need to desolder the wires inside the speaker and resolder some new wire taking note of the +- terminals,then connect the other end of the wire to an RCA connector(if thats what these speakers use)making sure to connect the + wire to the centre terminal of the RCA connector and the - to the outer section.A fairly easy and straightforward job if you can use a soldering iron. Hope this helps

  • A solution to the S750 speaker system problem

    Well my s750 died just like everybody elses. But after creative wanted me to pay 75% of my purchase price, I found a better solution. Nope, I am not fixing the unit like you guy's. I do not see the need to fix a poorly design system! I am not sure if creative or indigo/bash/blade audio is to be blamed. But if I had to pick, I would say "indigo/bash/blade audio". Years ago before blade audio became indigo, I had a chance to visit their location in ontario Canada. This was just when they stop making the blade audio car amps.
    While I was there, I happened to see this long list of brand names they had started to make amp modules for. Names like Harman International, Klipsch and so on. Anyway I cast the blame on indigo for this reason: Some years ago I had purchased a set of "harman international" infinity IL series speakers. Like our creative s750, the infinity shares a bash powered subwoofer system. And just like the s750 the infinity subwoofer like to blow up too! In the case of the infinity, the power supply was the weak link. The amp module in the infinity at that time, was built just like the blade audio car amps before. Which in my opinion is a much better design than what is being used in the s750. I remember one of the sale guy at circuit city at the time saying, "I wish we would drop this model". He went on to tell me the failure on the powered units were very high. You know there is a problem when the mid level Creative Inspire T7700 7.1, out last the flagship s750. Now, whats my better solution you guy's want to know? Two words , Simplifi Digital! The 7075a 7.1 amplifier along with Definitive Technology Pro Sub1000 and the remaing surround speakers from my s750 system. Yes, it did cost me more to go this route. But what I now have is a much more reliable system. And a sound that the s750 can only dream about. My s750 died while I was listening to Dave Bruebeck quartet "take five" at mid volume. With my current setup, I can listen mid volume all day long with no hiccups.
    For those who my have the cash to spend. I recommend looking at my direction!? Keep this in mind, make sure whatever powered subwoofer you choose, is adjustable up to 50hz. The creative surround speakers dont play very well below 20hz. Also make sure whatever powered sub you choose don't use a BASH amplifier. For those looking at the s750 as a purchase, good luck. Or go over to partsexpress.com and get the Dayton Part Number 300-670, surround speakers. Then get the simplifi digital 7075 7.1 amplifier and power subwoofer of your choice and make a better/best system. Sorry Creative Labs! This post is NOT intended to cast negativity. I use and like the products you offer. I just do not like the s750, and the reasons are all over this forum and elsewhere on the net. I currently own 3 audigy 2zs sound cards, three Inspire t7700 speaker system, three sound blasters modems and yes, one defective/dead s750 speaker system. If anything use this post as a positive to what Creative Labs could offer in the future. A system like I now have, sure would be nice with the Creative name all over it.

  • Connecting traditional speaker wire to Airport

    I just moved into a house with speakers installed in the ceilings. The connection wire for the speakers is traditional +/- (black/red) speakerwire. I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect that wire to my Airport so that I can use my PowerBook as a jukebox throughout the house.
    Right now I've got it hooked up through a series of connectors from Radio Shack, but they definitely hurt the sound quality. Any suggestions on a more elegant, simple solution to this problem?
    thanks!

    You need some kind of simple amplifier, and an Aiport express for streaming iTunes.
    If the speaker wires are in multiple locations, you'll need multiple amplifiers and multiple AX's

  • 1/8 inch to speaker wire?

    I use an Apogee One with my Macbook. I have a pair of old speakers that use regular speaker wire. I would like to connect those to the output jack on the Apogee Duet. Anybody know the easiest way to do this? Does anybody manufacture something that converts from 1/8 to speaker wire?
    (my original message said 3.5 mm to speaker wire - I think I mean 1/8'' to speaker wire)
    Message was edited by: Lizard Man

    Hi,
    I tried finding out a converter for your 3.5 mm speaker wire to 1/8" gauge but I only found one that goes from 3.5mm to 1/4." The best thing to do is soldering the wires evenly into your Apogee.
    Check this link I found a guy had a similar problem:

  • IPhone to speaker-wire speakers.

    I'm not really a 'speaker guy' I know how to take two pieces of wire and plug my big speakers into the standard dvd surround sound player and all that. But I had a rather interesting idea today that I am sure someone else has thought of before.
    I have to extra speakers, they are old wooden ones that still play beautifully and are mounted on the walls in my bedroom with speaker wire running from below them to behind my tv. They are not hooked up to anything, what I was wondering how to do is hook these up to the iPhone Dock.
    Is there a product made by bestbuy or radio shack that has the left channel and right channel things like on my speakers with the red and black wire that go into the two spring loaded parts and THEN a headphone jack behind it? This would be really convenient but I'm just not sure how to put this entire post into a google search So I came here.
    Thanks,
    -Brandon

    You can't run unpowered speakers from the iphone, or an ipod, etc. Things like computer speakers are powered, and accept a line level input from a source device. Your wooden speakers need an amplifier that takes the iphone as its source. So if you can hook them up to a receiver, you can run your iphone into the receiver with a standard stereo to 3.5mm splitter, into the AUX or another input on the receiver. If not, you'll have to pick up an amplifier capable of driving those speakers.

  • Speaker wire tags/label​s

    WE're about to switch our Home Theater around, and will be running surround sound speaker wires through the walls, instaed of those wire/cable channels, and it would just be great to have tags/labels attached to the speaker wires so that we will know which wires go to want input. Thank you in advance.

    I've had the orginal tape on my speaker wires for over a decade now. It's made it through three sets of speakers and 4 AVR's. It's cheap, easy, and effective. You could go buy a labeler or some 'speaker wire labels' if you want, but for something that's going to stay immobile and hidden you're really just paying more than you need for fanicer tape.
    There's really no need to overthink this.

  • Speaker Wire For T7700?

  • All speaker wires and no music...

    Hi,
    I just renovated my apt and installed speaker wire on each room...
    Now I want to play music :-) but I don't know what kind of equipment I need.
    So far I've been using a portable CD player.
    If possible I'd like to set the volume in room independently
    Thanks,
    SWK

    Do you have any audio gear other than a CD player?  If you want to control volume in all the rooms you will need a volume control for each set of speakers in each room. These are usually in wall controls and will fit in a standard electrical box. Do you want just a stereo reciever and speakers in all rooms or are you wanting a surround system with speakers in all rooms?

  • Inspire T3000 - Speaker Wire Broke

    Ok, you can laugh all you want, but I doubt this is the first time something like this has happened.
    I bought my Inspire T3000's on 2/7 and I'm very pleased with them. However, my cat chewed through one of the speaker wires and I'm interested in purchasing a single T3000 speaker to replace it. How should I go about doing this? I did not find any way to purchase spare or replacement parts via the creative website, but I am sure there is a way they can accommodate me.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Okay I will not lye I did laugh lol because I know cats love to chew on our technology but if you did not want to wait for the replacement wire just fix it yourself and I will walk ya through that below.
    First cut the 2 ends nice and even the peel each side of the wire back so you can peel there coating off now one will be Black and the other Red on both ends of the cut in half wire one will be positive + Red or White and the other will be Negative - Black just cut the other end of that broken wire like you did one side then match the colors togeather like a puzzle then twist the wires togeather then if you want I preferr solider but if you can't get ahold of this the electrical tape will do just tape the wires up so they can't touch eatch other and when your done they will work fine and withstand minors pulls and tags but not cats
    hope this is better help to you

  • Creative Gigaworks S750 speaker placement

    Hey Guys,
    As I get deeper into how to improve the sound on my Gigaworks S750 I'm starting to experiment with proper speaker placement.
    So far, I have the four floor stands for the side and rear channels.
    And going by the book I have the side channels slightly past and behind where my ears are, and they are pointed toward each other, and not directly at my ears.
    The two rear speakers are both behind me, but pointed straight toward the front of my room, and not directly toward my ears.
    Is this how they are supposed to be? Or should the sides be right at my ear level and right to either side of my ears? Same with the rears? Should they be angled in toward my ears at my seating position?
    The diagram in my manual doesn't seem to indicate that the speakers get angled toward the listener except the front center above the monitor.
    But other sites all seem to want the speakers angled at the listener, unless these Creatives are doing something different to create the surround sound field?
    Here's an industry diagram vs. the Creative manual.
    Creative diagram for Gigaworks S750, unfortunately I can't scale it up larger, but refer to page 6 by scrolling down in the manual located at the link below.
    http://www.scribd.com/doc/14711901/C...ks-S750-Manual
    So which is the most optimal for my speakers? I'm using option A for my setup in the Creative Manual right now, but just want to know what I should be doing to have the sound setup correct for these speakers.

  • S750 speaker woes

    I've had my s750 for almost three years now, and I've been fortunate not to have any problems up to this point. I was recently running the system with cmss disabled, so I was only receiving sound from the front left, front right, and subwoofer. Several days ago, I re-enabled CMSS and attempted to recalibrate my speaker seting.
    Problem is, I'm not receiving sound from either the center speaker or the left side speaker. The other fi've speakers are working fine. I've plugged these speakers into the other speaker positions that are working, and the speakers work fine, which eliminates a problem with the speakers themselves or the wiring.
    Is there something I'm specifically missing, because I can't think of anything that would cause such a problem with only two speakers unless something is wrong with the sub. Any help would be appreciated.
    FYI, the card I'm running the s750 off of is an Audigy 2.

    I've resolved the issue. I changed out my stereo jack connectors with the ones on my ddts-100. Problem solved.
    I found out the center and side left were carried on the same stereo jack, which led me to thinking it might be a problem with the line between the soundcard and the sub amp.
    Try checking that fadain, and ensure you have the jacks plugged in correctly. Pink looks like orange in poor light. If you have the same problem as I, you might just simply need a new 3 to 4 stereo connector.

  • Speaker wire cut, want to fix myself - which is the best way to connect the wires back together?

    Some how, one of the wires going to my left-center speaker got cut in half. Not sure if it was the vacuum or my dog........anyway, I want to fix it, so - would you recommend butt-connectors, soldering the wire back together, or some other method?
    Also, does it matter which wires connect back together? The wires are identicle (smooth covering) and both wires appear to be copper........ I was just wondering if anything would happen if you were to connect the wires back together, but backwards.
    Please let me know so I can get this fixed quickly.
    Thanks,
    -Officer_Dufus

    Go to the above link and listen to the Pink Noise Monaural and the Pink Noise with Reversed Polarity tests. When a speaker is of opposite polarity, that means that the wires are connected backwards (positive to black and negative to red). If this happens, when your speaker should move out it'll move in and vice versa. This makes the sound seem to come from everywhere but the speaker. Play the tests to see what I mean.
    If you solder your wires back together and notice this problem with your speaker, just reverse the connection to the speaker itself and you should be okay.

  • Creative GigaWorks Pro Gamer G500 Speaker wire question

    Hi,
    I have the creative gigaworks pro gamer speaker system but need to obtain some extra wire for the speakers to I can set them up around my room correctly. Would anyone have any suggestions of the type of wire to get hold of, room dimension is 98 inch by 24 inch. the main thing I am concerned about is the connectors for the wire going into the back of the amp, and the connectors going into the back of the speakers. I can twist the bare copper wires and insert them that way, but would prefer to have some sort of connector pin that can be used instead such as a gold plated connector. I think the gauge I am looking at is 6. Any help appreciated. Cheers
    Message Edited by fs_shadow on 10-27-2007 07:49 AM

    Have you checked your wiring? When going into THX Console and running the test, you should be able to hear the sound coming from the corresponding speaker. Otherwise your wiring must be wrong.
    Also I do not understand what exactly you are doing in the CMSS Options: <EM>put the cmss3d on surround</EM>
    Do you mean Stereo Surround?
    <EM>put cmss 3d in the center </EM>: You mean you drag the slider into the center, or do you mean the CMSS2 option?Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 06-24-2006 07:34 PM
