Karaoke Forums

Hi,

I'm very new to this. And I'm trying to setup a karaoke system for my dad. I recently bought:

1. Yamaha MG166CX 16-Channel 6-Bus Analog Mixer

2. PA DJ Karaoke Home Pro Audio 15" Three Way Black Speaker Pair 1500C
(back of speakers)

3. Pyle Pro PTA1000 1000 Watt DJ Amplifier
(the back of amp)

We have karaoke player at home already.

and none of them comes with any cable to connect. To my understanding, I need to connect them following this picture:

I have cable to connect karaoke player to mixer.

ok, now I need to go from mixer to amplifier, then from amp to speakers. 2 of each.

So I need to buy these:
1. Pyle PPJJ-15 Professional 1/4-Inch to 1/4-Inch Speaker Cable (15 Feet) (2)

That one go from mixer to amp.

2. Pyle PPSJ-30 Speakon Speaker Connector to 1/4-Inch Speaker Cable (2)

and that one is to connect the amp to speaker.

Is that correct? If not, what kind of connectors should I buy? When looking for cables I found in description about 12-gauge, 14-gauge...what is that mean?

Also, if above are correct, I need to buy them locally (not online) because I'm only home for about 2 more days, I need to have them in hand tomorrow to setup. Where can I buy these cables local? I tried to search on walmart, radioshack but they only have those online. I need specific store names so I can double check if they have them. In case you need, I live in Renton, WA.

Thank you so much.

Hi,

I buy most of my cords from monoprice.com No restocking charge and they ship next day. Great prices and service. Check out the site.

If you want to buy locally, a decent musical instrument store, Guitar Center, locally owned, or whatever, should have the cables you need. If not, ask if they have the parts to make what you want. They probably will.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but those speakers and that amplifier are not exactly quality purchases. If you can return them, or exchange them for credit with your vendor, I would do so.

Thank you everyone for your suggestion. I just got all the cables and everything works now. For my system, I need 2 XLR microphone cables to connect mixer to amp. 2 Speakon Speaker Connectors to connect amp to speakers.

Thanks.
