(For my PC)I want to have a quadrophonic speakers (4 channels), but i want to extend 2 speakers, but their wires are limited and cant extend enough to reach my rear? what should i do?is it as simple as, cut the speaker wires and extend it with a common copper wire that you mostly found on most appliance you found on your home?
Yea ive tried extending and cutting the coper wires, this situation has its faults if you decide to do it this way so id suggest just grabbing another at a local shop or OKorder.
What kind of speaker connectors do you use? If the speakers can be disconnected from the source, I recommend getting extension adapters and long speaker wire so they will reach behind you (for example, if you have mini 3.5mm stereo jacks, get headphone extension cables and use those, and if you have RCA connectors, get RCA to RCA adapters and get long RCA cables). This way you don't need to cut any wires. But you can cut the wires and extend them with any type of speaker wire and use black electrical tape to seal them up. Make sure the positive and negative wires don't touch or you won't get any sound. I suggest wrapping up one set of wires with tape before taping up the other set (tape the positive wires up first and then tape up both sets of wires).
It would be best to replace the short wire with new wire of the proper length! Use speaker wire, it will cost less and that's why it's made! But, what you said would work, most likely!
Yes you could definitely cut the wires and extend with other copper wire. I would try to find wire close to the same thickness, and as others have said you need to insulate the two wires so they don't short each other. Since it's just for PC speakers, are they amplified? If you use them for watching movies etc. you may want to just get some extenders to maintain a better sound quality, but that is up to you, it will work either way.
