Thanks everyone 😁

 

I just won a pair of S35's and a pair of S40's. The guy that i won the S35's from said he had some original B&O cables so that should take care of that. I also ordered some of the screw type connectors for the S45's. I think i will go to to a local electronics store and get some good cable to connect. Cant wait to have everything together (with matching wood trim on everything too 🙂)

 whats the best way to make sure the polarity is correct? what happens if i short circut the terminal? will it damage anything?

The connectors on the speakers will be male, so you will need female connections to fit them. If you are making one pair of leads you will need 2 male and 2 female connections.

im now having some issues. sometimes it will randomly switch inputs from P to a different radio preset. i got some speaker wires off ebay, could it be that the polarity is wong on them and they are shorting something in the receiver?

Even if the polarity is reversed it should not cause the problems you are having. As far as I know all it causes a reduction in sound quality.
