1.0 out of 5 stars Not waterproof, January 16, 2005

This review is from: Audiovox Sirius SIREXT50 Indoor/Outdoor Antenna Extension 50-feet Cable - Black (Electronics)

There is an amplifier at the outside end of this cable. The compartment totally filled up with water after a few rain storms. I get no signal at all because of water damage. I had the connector oriented correctly accourding to the instructions, but it still filled with water. The lid eventually fell off...

I'm going to buy another cable because I need it. This time, I will seal the amplifier box with silicon glue. You should do the same thing before it rains.

Don't forget this extension cable for Sirius! As most people find out, you need to place the antenna outside for a good solid signal that lasts. With this 50 foot extension you'll be able to put it just about anywhere, plus you can hook TWO of them together to give you a total of 120 feet (50 + 50 +20 on antenna) without loss of signal.

Plan ahead and know if you'll need the extension. Many go and put the money into the Sirius receiver, boombox or home kit and get all ready to hook it up only to find out they need more wire. And not just any wire wil work!

I have one myself going from outside the window through one room down into my bedroom where my boombox is. Without this cable I'd be using the Sirius in the attic! Most people fine the need for one or two of these cables, and watch out as they're often hard to find in stock as they sell fast!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why the price hike??, October 4, 2005

My reception was so-so until I purchased this 50 ft. extension and moved the antenna outside. Now it's great!! This is a needed accessory for any Sirius owner. At $19.95 it was a terrific buy. Why the major price hike in this product? It now may be cheaper to go to your local electronics store to purchase this extension.
