I already had a receiver and outdoor speakers..this simply plugs into the receiver and allows me to play my music from my phone through the receiver and outdoor speakers...this is only a go between between blue tooth phone and receiver. Many new receivers have blue tooth capabilities already built in...mine didn't and I did not feel like spending another $250'when my current receiver works great, just doesn't have blue tooth receiving capabilities....now it does. I would compare the costs of a receiver without blue tooth and one with..then add this item's cost in and there you go
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well, you need a power amp to power your non-powered speakers. Something like this would do nicely: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/356256-REG/AudioSource_AMP100_AMP100_Stereo_Power_Amplifier.html
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I picked up an insignia power amplifier at best buy that already had bluetooth integrated, didn't need rocketfish. been real happy with the amp so far. that amp is not ok living outside so i have it in my house and brought wiring in. I've seen small power amps made for boats and rv's used for this but the lower cost ones I was seeing looked a little sketchy
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You do need a receiver. This "receives" Bluetooth signals. Wireless speakers still have to have wires, 120 volts to power them and be able to connect wireless. Other than that, any receiver with av or optical connection will work..
