Question posted by illwade311 on February 12th, 2014

Can I Build The System Speaker Cord?

I feel like it should be doable, however I'm not sure what the name of that port is, and exactly where the cables run? I believe it is a 15 port cable, that is supposed to power the 2 speakers and the subwoofer; which I dont have. On the back of each of the 2 speakers I have there are 4 connectors. That totals 8, I dont have the sunwoofer to know how many connectors it has. Anyway, Can I find a special port at like Radio Shack, or online, and with the right wires, make This 70 - 100 dollar cable myself. Thanks for any help!

Requests for more information

did you make the cable? I'm going to try it . I have looked at the diagrams and there seems to be 2 speakers in both left and right also two in the sub woofers =12 6 red and 6 white , 4 per speaker ? I am assuming L+R , L+R - L+R +L+R , L+R L+R. Now that leaves 3 unused lines ? Would they be used for a ground ? I am not sure but I would like to know if you have any idea

It is my understanding that this would not be possible. However, I am not positive and therefore would recommend calling Sony Support directly for additional assistance.
