Help with connecting pioneer amp and speakers

[mreddys10]

Hi,
I am new here. I dont really have any kind of tech knowledge about connecting music systems. I need some help.

I recently found a pioneer amp (Model: SX 424). Its really old, I know, but I am studying in a university, and I cant really afford to get a new music system. I also have a pair of pioneer speakers along with it (Model: CS 40). I have lost all the wires required to connect these two together and could really use ur help. I have a few pics of the amp (u can see all the connections) and also of the speakers. I could mail them to anyone interested in helping me out. I just need to know what kind of wire I need and how I need to connect it.

Thanks for ur help

Yeah, thats the amplifier. The speakers are different though. I can show u the pic of the speakers where u need to connect the wires, but how do i add pics in the forum? And any idea wat kinda wires i need to connect speakers to it?

ok....but can u help me out in connecting these speakers to the amp? u can see in the amp's pic, where it says speaker A and speaker B. wat kind of wires do i need to connect the speakers to it?

Please send me pics of the back of the speakers and Amp.

Normally if you have one speaker pair you can connect it to speaker A of your Amp.
Speaker connection B is for a second pair of speakers (toilet or bathroom).

Hi I received your pics.

I don't see any + and - on the back of the Amp for speaker pair A.
Can you see any + or -???
On the front of the Amp please turn on speaker pair A and speaker pair B off.

cool...thanks for that.....but can i just use any wire? and also, to connect the wire to the amp, i need to insert the wire into the slot right? but how is it going to stay there since there is no clamp or anything to hold it down

 

[Hondasnl]

You can use cable 2x2,5 mm2.
2x1,5 mm2 is also OK.

ok...thanks. but like i said, i dont need to connect anything else to the wires, but just insert them into the slots in the amp? there is no spring or clamp which will hold the wires in after they are inserted in...sorry to sound so dumb, but i really dont know a lot about this

Ok,

You have to use the right male connectors for the amp. to connect the cables.

Like this one...

Here in The Netherlands they are different I think!

You can buy it in a HIFI store, please let you advise by the HIFI store.

cool...that is wat i was looking for. can i know wat it is called? and i can find it at any electronics store rite? and just one more thing, i can use an "aux in" using the regular audio cable? like the one used to connect dvd players to the tv?

 

[Hondasnl]

Yes you can connect your dvd player to the Aux. connection of the Amp.

Have fun!!

What a small world..

Please go to the local HIFI store for the connectors, here in Holland they are different.

Just let see your pics to the HIFI store, they know which connector you must use.

ok....thanks for all the help. had these speakers for a while, and had no idea how to get them to work

Buy speaker wire at Radio Shack or wherever, strip 1 1/2" ov the ends and tin them with solder and a soldering iron. Bend them in a loop at the speaker side and connect them. That's the best way. If that's impossible just twist the ends.
