Do these have an opening to put the led wire through?

Not sure as there are only two wire connections. I did not realize there is a third for LED. Another reason I would expend money for LED speakers

stephen Jan 17, 2021

They do not, but you can drill a small hole and push the wire through. Fill the hole with silicone and you are good to go.
