How to Hook Up Multiple Center Channel Speakers

Install multiple center channel speakers.

Home theaters generally come with anywhere from five to seven speakers, and only one center speaker. The center is where most of your dialogue comes from, and on weaker systems, the rear and side speakers may dominate the dialogue to the point that you don't hear it. One option is to install another speaker; which can be done even though there are only one set of ports.

Things You'll Need

• Speaker selector
• Speaker wire for each additional speaker

Instructions

1. Disconnect the speaker wires from the back of your current center channel speaker.

2. Connect those wires to the input on the speaker selector.

3. Connect one speaker wire to the output on the speaker selector.

4. Connect the other end of the wire to one of your new center channel speakers.

5. Repeat for all remaining speakers.
