First time setup

rdnair

Hello,

I just got my first A/C receiver, Onkyo SR507 and got the Polk RM6750 speakers. But now, I am confused about what cables to buy to connect them together. Could someone please advice.

I am sorry if this question has been answered before. It would be great of someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

What exactly are you looking to hook up? If you have the whole set of RM6750's (including the sub) you will need some speaker wire and a sub cable. Monoprice is a good place to start for wires and they have good prices. Get yourself some 12 or 14 AWG speaker wire and a sub cable and call it good. Are you planning on using HDMI from the 507? If you are they have plenty of those there too. Links below for all the products I suggested, good luck and welcome to Club Polk.

WELCOME TO CLUB POLK!!

I'm not familiar with Polk's HTIB, are there no speaker wires in there? Not that I'm suggesting you use those...Jeff provides some good advice above.

But if it does have wires just use them until you can buy thicker gauge wire.

Actually speaker wire is a bit less important for sound quality on small satellites than on larger higher quality speakers and equipment.

If you're a total newb....just follow the Polk instructions. Make sure you connect + to + and - to - from the speaker to the receiver for each channel: Right/center/Left/surround Right/surround Left. Hook up your sub with cable to the sub out on the Onkyo and run the Audessey setup on the AVR with the Onkyo microphone in.

Thanks a tonn Jeff and cnh. I think I got a decent deal at the frys for the speaker wires. And cnh, these were not HTIBs. I do have a couple of HDMI's that I picked up from CablestoGo.

I think I am all set to blast my apartment complex

Thanks again guys!
