Hello!
Right to it in the hopes that someone can take the time to explain in a bit of detail ...
I have 1 central and 4 tower speakers that went with a pretty shoddy sub/amp that died. I also now have a pretty low-end (but, surprisingly, nice-sounding) little box speaker, soundbar and sub/amp set. Since I like the look of the tower speakers, I connected them (FR, FL, SR, SL) and the soundbar to the little sub. All is nice, and sounds pretty good ... but the thing is that for a little extra 'kick' I would very much like to ALSO connect the little box speakers. 😊
Well, from what I have read regarding parallel and serial connections I think I know what to do ... except for the fact that while the tower speakers have the little input holes that the positive and negative wires go in, the little box ones do not. They have an attached single wire coming from the back. THIS is where my brain fizzles and I hit a mental block. I think I can, technically, open the little box ones up, or if worse comes to worse, splice my wires into the wire coming out of the back to achieve what I'd like ... but I just can't picture exactly what I need to do. It's weird.

If someone could detail it for me for one speaker, I think it'll click!
Thanks so much, in advance.
