Thread: Can You Re-Join Speaker Wire ?

    Can You Re-Join Speaker Wire ?

    My silly lady ran the hoover over the wire going from my sound bar to the subwoofer box, and cut it in two. Its the clear , narrow speaker wire. Can this be stripped back and joined??

    Anyone know? Cheers

    Yes, but may affect the sound quality slightly (if high end speaker cable).

    Alternatively, replacement speaker cableis relatively cheap depending on the quality.

    Only cheapish Samsung, the subwoofer seems to be a sealed unit, so dont think I could replace the whole cable.

    As above It will work.. Wrap the severed wires around correctly (colored) and tightly. Strip as less as you can and tape it well.

    Just lay both ends of the cable flat when there is no colour. You wiill see it when stripped, Make sure no kinks. Sorry. It will work as long as you don't try and play Ricky Martin through it cause he will break them again .

    You can buy these little plastic boxes which allow you to push the wires in from both sides tighten small screws
    bind with insulating tape and job done.

    Did this when our rabbit chewed through the cable

    They are even better actually. Much sturdier. Listen to BlueWales.
