Basic question on speaker wire

    Hi,

    I'm doing a bit of rewiring and have found that one of the wires i use for my logitech surround speakers is too short for where I need it to go now.

    I'm a noob when it comes to the wires / cables involved in sound set ups etc, so looking for some information on what I need to get and where I can get it.

    It's a thin black copper wire with two connectors at each end, one tagged red, one black. I was looking online for something similar but came up against things like various gauge ratings etc, which I have no clue about.

    Can someone tell me what I need, and where I can get it, either online or off? I need about 25ft.

    If the speaker only uses 2 cores then simply extend it with any 2 core flexible cable. Depending on the power rating (if they are say less than 30W) then any 0.5mm or 0.75mm mains flex would suffice I think. Just be careful to insulate the join and ensure you maintain the polarity - (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) etc.

    Can you post the model numbers for the speaker system ?

    Ken
