Yes, twin lead wire for each speaker. If it's not provided, 12 gauge lamp cord at HD or Lowes will work [they sell it by the foot or in 50 and 100 foot rolls], and an RCA connection to the sub, like below but you only need a single lead [those are usually included]. You'll also want wall brackets to mount your speakers, they can be as big or small, simple or fancy as you like. Finally, you need a connection from your TV to the receiver. HDMI is most advanced and simplest [it can carry stereo, 3.1, 5.1 and 7.1 depending on the signal the TV receives], but you can go as far down the totem as another pair of RCA jacks, though then your surround sound would be simulated [Dolby Pro-Logic] by the receiver from an analog stereo signal received from the TV.
