how do i connect my speakers with regular speaker wires to single rca audio output from subwoofer?
i have bought a new vizio s3851 speaker system, which has a wireless subwoofer to which two rear speakers connect using a male to male rca cable. instead of using the rear speakers that came with subwoofer, i want to use the already pre-installed speakers (in the wall by previous home owner) which has regular speaker wire (single wire with copper and silver ends). i was wondering if i could simply use "rca av audio y splitter 1 male to 2 female plug adapter" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/b009hmmgfe/ref=gno\_cart\_title\_0?ie=utf8&psc=1∣=a3n9xeh7rog7zj 

this is how my subwoofer connection looks like.. vizio and my speakers cables looks like this 

thanks
those cables will work but you don't really need them as you only have to get to where the speaker wire comes out of the wall. just cut a pair of rca cables in half. there will be a center wire that connects to the positive and the shield, that wraps around the insulated center wire, is the negative. 
the only potential problem is that you may not have enough power to drive the rears loud enough.
Teddy if you like those speakers you do not want them connected as previously described by you. The iMac where those speakers are coming from use a Woofer and a Tweeter amplifier. Your speaker separates the tweeter and the woofer in the plastic case. Each set of white/black cables is for the separate speaker. Connected one set of black and white to power will most certainly put an end to either one of those. If you are wanting to use the amp listed in the preceding answer, connect the two white and the two black from each speaker housing to either L or R. L- (WhiteX2) L+(BlackX2) and same for the right.


Here are the values for the amplifiers


TWEETER SPEAKER AMPLIFIER


AMP VOUT = 7.355VRMS


GAIN = -4.8(20K/17.4K)


MAX9736B APN:353S2042


POUT = 6.76 W INTO 8 OHMS @ 1% THD+N


WOOFER SPEAKER AMPLIFIER


AMP VOUT = 7.355VRMS


GAIN = -4.8(20K/17.4K)


POUT = 6.76 W INTO 8 OHMS @ 1% THD+N


RIN = 17.4 OHMS


FC = 19.5 HZ no, it won't sync as a home theater system with other speaker. the sonos surround system was design to work in the sonos ecosphere with a playbar/base, sub and 2 sonos match pairs. 
music is a different story. you can just add more speaker via the sonos connect amp or adding more sonos speakers. there is no switch. the s300 will play both the xlr and rca no matter what. however, please do not have both xlr and rca connected at the same time. this can cause a lot of strain on both the amp and the sources. right: that's because your play:1 speakers do not support airplay. the support article below may help.

Try not to disconnect the screen as it may never come on again, i would take to a qualified repairer. there are many sound-system specialists who could advise you on the best way to install a cd player in your crv. recently, when i wanted to fit a cd player to my 1997 bmw, i had to go to an aftermarket sound-system specialist because bmw no longer stocked the cd player that was compatible with the factory system. in the end i had to compromise. there was simply no way of doing what i wanted to do. for starters, try chris watson at central car radio in bentleigh. well, then, you might as well put extra jacks out there anyway. in either case, it should work fine as long as ap is on the same subnet (ip address range.) hello!

these widgets are defined in the driver. for example for the ak4671 i see [these](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/sound/soc/codecs/ak4671.c#n249). so you need to update the audio-routing in device-tree with the correct widget name for the codec.

yes. this technology sends power and data over just 2 wires.

(despite having the name 1 wire).
