Hey Guys and Gals,

Newbie here! Question: Two of my Four klipsch quintet surround speakers don't work, They were sent to klipsch to find out why! Basically what's goin on is I'm moving furniture around which means moving stereo components around too, the wall that had the two bad speakers on it, could the wire on that wall possibly be bad too? TIA digthis

Bad wire?

Sure, speaker wire, or any wire for that matter, could be damaged. Specifically the wire would have a break (short) resulting in zero transmission of electrical signal.

Got an Ohm meter? Check the wire for resistance.

If you have a multimeter you should have a pair or two of aligator clips, pull the connection from the back of the stereo, clip them together and then go check continuity at the other end. You could always use the existing wire to pull thru a new pair no?? I do it all the time with network wire, as long as it's not going thru conduit the size of my thumb it's usually cool.
