It's not a new home for my non-existent bike, but.....

Sparky - it's not that simple (but I wish it was)

Picture this: 4 sets of speakers - 2 big ass motha fucka's on the floor, 4 in the ceiling, 2 at the pool, 2 under the shelter - all run off the same receiver (*most of the time) Out from the receiver goes to a 4 way splitter which goes into the wall & each set then goes into separate volume controls (I can crank it in down by the pool & they can listen to it at a normal level in the Pool House) They then go thru the walls & in the case of the fucked set, into the ceiling & under the floor boards in the attic.

So, even eliminating the wall jacks & volume controls, it'd be a huge fucking pain to run new wires into the ceiling & then under the floor boards in the attic.

Which might be the fucking case anyway

Just spent the last 2 hours taking apart the shelf & testing things, only to figure out that the problem is after the volume control & before the speaker - which means a little fucking critter probably decided that I listen to too much Nirvana when he sleeps & chewed thru the wire

So tomorrow I'll get to spend my day in a very hot attic checking things out

* I say most of the time (and the reason for the wall jacks) because I can disconnect the main receiver & hook up an old one that I have so that, if The Bitch is down by the pool, she can listen to her CD's/stations & I can relax in the pool house listening to mine

Man, does that ever sound like a reason to look hard at what's out there in wireless adapters. Yeah, you lose a little if you're not digital thru-and-thru, but we're looking into it for similar reasons. Got some big honkers we want to hang on to, plus multiple speakers in other places that have been rewired more than once. Now we want music in the bath, plus we discovered the prior owner had speakers in the little boat house so of course we want to add music there too.

We already have wireless networks at home that connect our computers to tv and audio, so it looks like we're gonna go that way for hooking the speakers to the sources next.

I used to say "no more paper" and we're close here now. (Well, except for 2257 stuff. ) Now if we can just do "no more wires" too, that would be most excellent.

Oh yeah... I forgot my original question... did you get your wiring problem taken care of?
