Does anyone know anything about doing this? I wanna set up my friends surround sound, but I'm not too sure how to do this.
like speakerwire?
if so, you just take off about 1/2" of insulation on each twist'em together and tape or wirenut. make sure that speakers on the same channel (i think that's the right word) have wires that are the exact same distance.

he has three speakers. I wanna extend two on his living room wall and one in his bedroom.
so your trying to make 2 wires from the reciever go into 3 speakers....
im sure you can do this, but im not excatly sure how safe it would be ....or how good the quality would be.... say the reciever puts out 100 watts per channel, well the channel that you split is only gonna give 50 watts to each speaker. i dont know, like i said im sure it can be done, but ill let someone whose done it before give you an answer on how safe it would be.....
sorry i couldnt help

oh, well then what knuckles of frisco said....just strip about 1/2 to 1 inch from the end of one wire, and the begining of the other, twist them together...and wrap some black electrical tape around it....

Please Note: By splitting the wire to drive two speakers, the wattage will essentially be split in half making the regular speaker only half as loud. This half-loudness will apply to the 2nd speaker connected too.
