1240788	2011-10-30 00:01:00	Hi all, don't even know if what I am considering can be done or not. My son has given us his stereo and speakers, the problem I have is to install where I want to in my lounge, the wiring to the speakers is a pain in the proverbial. Is there a unit available that will allow me to place the speakers in the desired location and tranmit wirelessly to them? Rny.	rny (6943)
1240789	2011-10-30 01:23:00	Are you talking stereo only or surround (5-7 speakers + a sub)? This sort of thing? www.amphony.com www.amphony.com Dont see anything available in NZ in a Google search. There are home theatre systems available with wireless rear speakers (though remember they still need a power supply). www.panasonic.co.nz Might be easier/cheaper to run the wiring under the carpet/floor (or through the ceiling). :D	feersumendjinn (64)
1240790	2011-10-30 02:17:00	The problem you have is not transmitting wirelessly, but transmitting wirelessly and then amplifying that signal. The speakers don't just require a line level input, they require an amplified input. The product in the first link that feersumendjinn provided will do that, but you still have to get power to the unit's that mount on the back of the speakers. Great if there is already a power point nearby, but useless if there is not. I did home theater installs for a few years and I have seen some very creative ways of getting cables around. Is the floor carpeted? You can get very flat (but still decent gauge) cable that can be run underneath carpet. You pull the carpet up from one side, tack the cable to the floor and re-attach the carpet. Barely noticeable when the carpet goes back down. Judging from your post however, you really want a simpler solution than that.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
1240791	2011-10-30 03:06:00	Yeah, I could not find anything either, only for stereo so looks like a crawl aroung the roof space, getting far too old for that caper, maybe son will help out his old dad. Thanks for your input Rny	rny (6943)
1240792	2011-10-30 08:41:00	Transmitting audio via radio waves is easy, transmitting audio via radio waves with enough power to drive speakers directly would be better attempted with eight dimensions and a large particle accelerator. Well not really, but it would make much more sense to just run longer speaker cables.	Agent_24 (57)

Thanks for your input. Rny All my speaker wiring is either below the floor or in ceiling spaces (for upstairs rooms). If you have wooden floors and adequate crawl space it is a reasonably easy job. Even if the crawl space is too limited, provided you can get a stick with slotted end to the tail, wrap 15cm or so with double sided sticky tape, wind it up to get some grip then pull it through gently with somebody feeding it down from above faster than you are pulling. I've reticulated telephone, burglar alarm, network, speaker and some power wiring through difficult routes with a little ingenuity and a load of patience. I fed a cable horizontally over 5 metres between the ceiling of my office and the floor above by pushing it through a length of plastic waterpipe, tying it off at the far end then pulling back the pipe. Where there's a will, there's a way. Tell your son you are thinking of revising your will, then ask for his assistance with the wiring. :devil Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
1240794	2011-11-01 03:25:00	Hey Billy, I like the way you think,(re the will,) he just laughed but has at least agreed to supply me with some speaker wire, his job is working with that stuff, so I'll be thankfull for small mercies. Under the floor is not an option as we are on concrete. Thanks again, Rny	rny (6943)
