The “5” refers to the five-speaker channels: front, front left, front right, rear left and rear right. The “.1” refers to the subwoofer. The user needs speaker wire to install the system. The gauge of wire varies on the distance of the speakers and power output of the model. A 16-gauge wire should be sufficient for most installs. Writer Bio
