Rca Model No:rt2380bk Speaker Wires
I was given a RCA Surround Sound system and I have the sub woofer and to front speakers working,but was not given the color coded rear and center speaker wires. I tried using some speaker wire i had cooper and silver in color, the cooper being the positive,but that did not work. I tried using the front speaker wires on the rear speaker, that did not work. Do i have to have the color coded speaker wire for these speakers to work or do the speaker just not work??
Thanks for your help.
Bill
