sorry mike89 im not an audiophile, whats all that 16 and 20 gauge wire stuff.... does it have to dow with the legnth of the wires cause thats all i really wanna know. how are the satellites put together, each one goes to sub? or is it 1 satellite goes to sub with a chain of all the other satellites?

One wire from each satelite to teh sub... The front channel wires i'd say are 8 ft long and the rear are 15ft if that... Its best to go buy you a spool of 100ft of 16 gauge wire... Jsut the thickness of the wire. The stuff that they come with is pretty thin.

thanks man, hmm now that you told me how short they actually are.... i think this 4 corner speaker setup is gonna cost some extra....

by the way does the "gauge" or thickness or whatever it is matter that much? what does it actually do?

The lower the guage, the thicker the wire, the better the sound.

I would reccommend 16, or anything below. It starts to get expensive though.

I also have a question. How do these mount to the wall. In the reviews, they say the base is reversable? So, you can use those holes to mount it? Can anyone take a picture or something? I'd like to understand how the mounting works.

i also wanna know how they wall mount since i plan on havin them in the 4 corners of my room. the other thing i also wanna know is can they turn side to side when wall mounted and stuff like that? or do they have to point straight.

by the way my name is sean too

I'm guessing they are like my klipsch speakers cause I can't see any other way of them doing it. If so, here ya go (and sorry for the crappy pic but I couldn't find any online).

What you have to do is this. I forget what they are called (somebody wanna help me out?) but there are two blue plastic things you pound in first and then you screw the screw in until it's about 1/8th of an inch away from the wall. You do this so that the screws can mount to the wall better, if you were to just put the screws right into the wall it wouldn't hold well at all and the speaker would probably fall off the wall when you start pumpin them up

Now all you have to do is slip the speaker over the screw and slide it down into place.

On the right there would be the base if you are looking straight at it. Those two black "circles" are where the head of hte screw would fit in, and then you can slide it down.
