How to wire ceiling speaker in 1st floor ceiling on a 2 floor house?
in
Hi,
How to wire ceiling speaker in 1st floor ceiling on a 2 floor house? the house is a completely built home, is there a way to run the cable with no damage to drywall?
Thanks
Answer:
It might be able to be done but would have to looked at by a professional AV installer. It would depend on the locations you need to have them run, which in turn depends on the direction the floor joist are run, and location of the system. Your going to have to have some drywall cut but it may not be much depending on the above description.
Not a job for beginners, look up a local independent high end audio video store as they specialize in installing and designing these types of systems.
Forget about wireless speaker systems they are junk.

How to connect this subwoofer to a reciever?
in
I just got a Polk PSWI8M wireless subwoofer. I set everything up right, but the directions say to plug the left and right (white and red) cords into the TV. I want the subwoofer to go with my reciever.
Is this possible, and if so, how can I do it?
Answer:
You can not connect any speakers to a tv. The tv audio output is through an optical audio output, which has to be connect to a receiver (multi channel) to decode the digital signal. Your subwoofer will work with a receiver only and not the tv. Hope this will help you out.
