Anonymous | I need to connect my TV (which has RCA jacks) to a speaker that had the +/- connection (a regular speaker connection). I went to "The Source by Circuit City" (aka Radio Shack Canada) and they told me to get Solderless Phono Plugs (pictured here: http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr1834.html). My problem is that when I connected them to my TV, the sound was so faint...how does one connect the speaker wire to these jacks properly? Thanks! |
