Q: My room is wired for a system like this. Except the second to the last picture of the back of the speaker shows 2 slots and 1 for the mount. I only have speaker wires coming out from the wall. How are these speakers connected to receiver?

All speakers displayed require only one set of wires per. Typically a positive and negative - higher end wire is red and black with a cover. Don't get hung up on the wiring, as long as you have two wires coming out of the wall for each speaker, one for each screw/clip/post you are just fine. I have powered subwoofers in a 9.2 system - that's a horse of a different color though!

Question 1

I am new to setting up a theater sound system, I have bought this speakers and a receiver. Are there additional accessories; wall mounts, cables which I may purchase? Also is it possible I may make the speakers connected wirelessly to the receiver? I have a Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2 Channel 4K AV Receiver.

You need speaker wire. These are cheap online, $15 for 100 ft should be good. Get 16 gauge or lower. 18 gauge cables and higher will limit the sounds system. Get a wire striper from a local hardware store, and look online for proper way to strip wires.

You need a wireless speaker kit for wireless conversion of this system. But it's not truly wireless, you will still need power connection. Good ones will also run you hundreds of dollars. I really don't recommend them.

You definitely need a subwoofer to make the system sound "complete". After hours upon hours of research, I recommend the following:

Budget category (<$150): Dayton Audio Sub-1200
Intermediate category ($150-$500): NXG NX-BAS-500
Great category (~$500): SVS PB-1000

It may be worth investing in a good subwoofer for the long term, especially if you're into bass. So that extra bit you save up to get the SVS PB-1000 is worth it. I now it sounds crazy to spend that much on a sub, but you won't regret it if you do. I personally live in an apartment, and I'm on a tight budget, so I went with the Dayton Audio. But if I lived in a house, I wouldn't have hesitated to save up for that PB-1000. Subwoofers by the way need an RCA cable. You can get gold plated ones online for maybe some performance improvement, but it's not a huge requirement.

Hope that helps out.
