Klipsch sub & pc speaker cable repair?

[elnaldo]

I could make a video showing what I've described at post #11, hold the wire with some clips , scrap the wire with the soldering iron and a bit of solder, then connect the needed wires and solder them together. Insulate as you can, usually a bit of nail polish is enough, or some electrical tape.

NO AFFILIATION; just 2 results of google search:

Soldier is like a type of wire. ?? What do you need to buy on amazon along with the soldiering iron?? Any tips looks easy... but it’s probably not, what’s the wire cost the big silver reel of wire that guy had?

Hello. At this point, 1 year from your first post and the cable still not fixed, I think you should try to contact a local tech, or a friend who is in electronics to do the work for you, It will take 5 or 10 minutes to somebody with the tools and the skills.

Please refer to my post #11, that's all you need to do, but buying tools, solder, and so, will cost more than buying a new cable.

Do you need this tool ?https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-40-Watt-Soldering-Iron-Tool-Only-P3105/305124212
Don’t have enough money right now .

If you don't have the money then quit asking questions on what you should be buying.

They said soldiers are not too expensive if you get a cheaper one , I should have the money st some point.

Twist together and electrical tape, butt splice. Really won’t matter which with those speakers.

That’s exactly what I did in the picture up further must be another step needed . Kk
Maybe I need to cut the wire to be longer thread exposed???
Most I had was 1 speaker working once .

You have to strip the wire before twisting together.

 

[elnaldo]

The conductors are insulated, with varnish, you need to scrap that varnish, with fire (lighter) or with a fine sand paper.

The bare wire, twisted, won't make contact. You need to peel off the varnish. That's why your first try didn't work. Even soldering on the varnish won't make contact, that's why I suggested to scrap the varnish, and then solder.

Oh I tried a Lighter once so your saying to fix these pc speaker I do not need soldering iron ? I’m so confused haha

 

[elnaldo]

With a lighter you can burn the varnish, and scrapping a bit to remove the burned varnish (with sand paper or a sharp knife), you could twist the wires as you do with any regular copper wire. Not the best way to fix it, but a chance that it will work for some time. You need to insulate each conductor. If the wire strands are too thin, they will probably break when you scrap them.

The right way to do it is to scrap the varnish, solder the conductors, insulate.

I think, if you kindly ask, any tech around your neighborhood would do this for free. I'd do it, I wouldn't charge somebody to do this simple task.

If you're not concerned about sending the speaker out, you could send it to me and I'll fix it. I repair audio equipment all the time and make all types of cables. You pay shipping both ways. Ohio to Indiana shouldn't bee too bad. I'm at IU in Bloomington IN. PM if you decide to.

Too broke or I would , maybe if it’s not not fixed by the time I find a job . I do neeed to learn how to soldier . The other half of the auxiliary cable vanished cannot find it anywhere . All I can find is the longer half only has two cords .
One for each speaker. ? Or should it be 3

 

[ultumax]

I got them working without a soldiering iron . Perhaps they had enough power In The wires using a lighter was all that was needed.

Sounds a million times better then then Philips 2.1 ch pc speaker system .

The lighter has burned the varnish (insulation) on the wires, that's why you have connection now, and not before. The wires were insulated. took a long time, but finally fixed.

I have it go back and re attach one of the wires it seems like all the volume is coming out of the main satellite speaker connected. The right one

 

[ultumax]

Am I using wrong wires together? Why no sound out of left channel ???
I showed the speaker that’s working .

 

[ultumax]

you need a simple soldering iron, something like this or some you can get locally: (no affiliation)

Or, ask a friend with a soldering iron.

You need to peel off like 1" of the wire, so you can hold the tiny conductors stretched in some way, and scrapping with the hot soldering iron + solder, it will burn the insulation and melt the solder into the wire. Once done this, you can solder the wires.

I’ve tried wiring the left channel both ways . And no sound no matter how hard I try or what I do .
