Wireless Subwoofer Trans/Rec Kit
An amazing value for the price. Set-up is super easy (five minutes) and it performs exactly the way it's suppose to. My equipment is in a closet and the transmit/reception is perfect.

Sure But...No. Not Really.
Sure they work. Sure you can move your subs anywhere in the room. Sure they change from "Red" to "Blue" when connected but every now and then the cause your woofer to thump for no reason when the sound changes. I can do without that. So no thanks.

Works great -1 star for the headache
WORKS GREAT ...NOW!! if you bought this and ended with the dreaded popping issue, please read below. If not ENJOY!!.. this does work just need to add additional troubleshooting tips. I had this SAME ISSUE and hated the popping! My fix was easy and came after trying several things. Most suggestions are to move things around (listened to all the line of sight comments, avoid other devices, moved them closer together etc), I even bought RFI filtered power strips to avoid any noise coming directly from a wall plug. Didn't do it. FINAL ANSWER IS ! If your sub has only a L/R plug and no direct sub line, then you MUST match it on the receiver end as well ! Even though my receiver has a direct sub line for some reason when I used adapters (not included) on both ends matching L/R. The popping stopped, even at super low TV sound (mainly dialogue w/no action) which was my biggest pet peeve. It would kick on/off like crazy. Mind you the wireless will still shut off the sub after about 15 seconds if no activity but you wont notice it. Afterwards I moved everything back to my original setup, over 15 ft away, no line of sight, everything tucked away and hidden. Works great! Hope its not to late!! or maybe revisit with this approach. Best of luck!

Great..and Issues...but could have been my AVR
In the interest of full disclosure I returned mine...although the reason I returned it may have been an issue of my particular AVR and not the Rocketfish unit...detailed below. I bought the Rocketfish wireless subwoofer unit as we have a large room, wanted the sub at the opposite end from the surround receiver, and running the wiring properly posed issues due to one of the walls and access below. It was very easy to set up...basically make RCA and power connections for both sender and then receiver, the led color changes to indicate that its paired and you are good to go! Truly that easy. I did have a couple issues however: 1-There is a bit of a delay but I was able to compensate by adjusting the distance/delay settings on my Denon AVR (set sub distance 'greater' and AVR therefore reduces the surround delay which will compensate for the little bit of wireless lag in the RF sender/receiver). 2- The unit would kick in and out of sending signal at lower volumes. If I ran at higher volume it was fine, but at lower to moderate volume it was on/off, on/off. I tried various setting adjustments on the Denon and was not able to get it to be consistent at lower volumes. Like I said, I cant say for sure it was the unit and not my receiver. I dont have clipping w/ sub wired direct, but the receiver may not have been pushing enough power at lower volume for the RF to send? It does go into standby, but that's only supposed to be after a period of inactivity and the led on the RF was staying steady 'On'.. I would not recommend against buying. The RF certainly couldn't make it any easier to get a sub installed without having to run wiring and once adjusted it was great at mid-high volume...just wish I could have gotten the lower end clipping figured out!

Perfect
I have a whole house audio system and wanted to add a subwoofer in my hearth room / kitchen area, but a wired solution wasn't an option. I used this product to get signal to the subwoofer wirelessly. I plugged the transmitter into the amp/receiver for the whole house system in my audio closet, and plugged the other end into the subwoofer (one floor apart), and it worked perfectly. Just like that. Have been enjoying deep, rich music with no issues ever since. I saw others reviews about needing to resync the devices but I haven't had to that once. I was also concerned there might be a delay and cause things to sound terrible but there's no delay at all and the bass makes the music sound so much better. For the price and simplicity, this is an excellent option.
