Any of you tech Freepers out there able to point me in the right direction?

I need to set up my two back speakers and base for surround sound. My problem is that I don't have a good way to get speaker wire across the room.

So, what I need is a wireless transmitter to plug into my speaker output from my amp and a receiver to plug into my speakers on the other side of the room.

I have a wi-fi network so a 2.4 GHz solution will not work unless it is 802 compatible or 900 mhz.

Any recommendations?

Check Radio Shack. They have wireless audio/video transmitter/receiver sets that may do the job. Be careful to avoid cordless phones at 2.4 GHz. I've seen them knock out an 802.11 network.

"I need to set up my two back speakers and base for surround sound. My problem is that I don't have a good way to get speaker wire across the room."

A separate amp in the rear would introduce potential phase trouble and would operate at a fixed volume. Plus, the output for your sub (out of your Home Theater receiver) is high-Z low level. You need to have that sub within about 10 feet of the receiver. Try the carpet-tacking-strip ploy I outlined.

One further impediment to using the wireless units is that you individual channel outputs on your home theater receiver are speaker-level, whereas the inputs to the radio units and incompatible LINE-level.

FIND a way to run the wires!
