      I quite qualified advice is for you to stay away from the mains. What's more,       you can't just run that anywhere you want no matter where you are.              You want to extend those mains you need to know how to put pires in boxes and       all that.              If you do it after all that then you can just use regular [phone wire. You       should do that.              get a transformer, 1:1 would be good but rated for mains isolation just in       case and wire that to the speaker. The wires from the secondary should drive       another speaker. Nice thing about that is you can run those wires anywhere.              When you get to anything running off the mains you need to know how to deal       with it, maybe even run conduit. You obviously don't and I figure it is better       not to kill yourself.              Digikey deals there I think, they can probably hook you up with the       transformer for a few bucks. If not you got somebody there.              Just stay away from the mains. I work on that stuff sometimes and I have seen       wires arc and spark, and even burn. I have been shocked pretty good, but you       got 230 over there.              No matter what, stay away, you could kill yourself or burn the place down.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
