5.0 out of 5 stars Purchased For My Lifestyle 12 System, December 17, 2007

By	John (Monroe Towsnhip, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

I recently moved to a new house, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls or floor to get the wires to the back of the room. I was somewhat skeptical about this product and concerned with sound quality. However, I'm happy to say there is absolutely no difference between using the SL2 and hard wiring the rear speakers!

a) The system is made up of two receivers. They are both very small, and are easily concealable.

b) The front receiver plugs into the base module with 2 wires (left & right speaker wires)

c) The rear speakers plug into the rear receiver.

d) Installation complete!

This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what the doctor ordered!, March 27, 2008

By	J. Williams "genuine, bona fide, geek" (Utah, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After a recent house move I was forced to try and "hide" the surround sound wires for my LifeStyle 35 system rear speakers between the baseboards and carpet. This worked well until my youngest son started crawling and pulled the wires up.

After much searching around I decided that this system would be best and I am not disappointed. For owners of a Bose system, this is a snap to install. It comes complete with connections to your Acoustimass module, and new wires to connect from the remote unit to your speakers. No need to cut or strip wires and even has the right connections for Lifestyle "cube" speakers.

Without doubt, this is a perfect system when used as designed, within a decent-sized room for a home theatre system. My receiving unit is approximately 15 feet from the broadcast unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning--Must have Bose system for this to work!, December 22, 2008

By	Christopher (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

You can't hook up this system unless you have a bose system/receiver in place. I saw a review on another site that suggested this would work with my Onkyo receiver, but after buying and attempting to install the system I found out the hard way. Confirmed this is true with Bose customer service. Now I'm going to be penalized a 15% restocking fee and shipping fees with 6th Ave. Electronics. Sweet Deal!
