    Just to clarify, this is the model you bought, right?

    If so, you will need regular speaker cables to connect it, nothing digital at all about the signal. Polk included a 5 channel, 10 wire ribbon cable with this model and perhaps they still have them. Check with customer service.

    Thanks Jim was hoping some one had a part number. I asked Polk support but nothing yet. I can hook it up but would like to use one cable with 10 wires.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hello FX1,
    I believe the part number is RE5051-1 10 conductor 15' long cable, the Club Polk price should be $24.00. Give Polk's CS a call at 1-800-377-7655 to order.
    Cheers, Ken

    It's color coded, too.

    If you cut it to length, it is a good idea to tin the bare wire with solder. I didn't on mine years ago and sheared off the wire when I tightened down the nuts. There were little shreds of wire all over the terminals which had to be cleaned up to prevent a shorting hazard.

    Much appreciate your quick reply. Can not believe it's 15 feet, first read though it was inches. To short and too long, lol. Will call tomorrow, tried looking up the RE5051-1 part number on-line but nothing.

    Aso Jim thanks for the suggestion, sure will do that. I have to hookup two set's of wires to the amp terminal, as I also have the Polk audio F/X Wireless Surround Sound. Would it be best to solder two wires together?

    Thanks to both of you made my day.

    Calling is the only way, I believe. Polk has considered online ordering, but they have so many various parts and are concerned that owners wouldn't order the correct ones.
