OK well, looks like some kind of wireless audio system it the ticket. Please come back and let us know how it works out. That's how we all learn here. Good Luck Sir!

I have taken all the replies received with bits from each one. I fixed the A B C speaker issue the factory wiring was wrong there are extra wires in there for more speakers. They wired 2 A speakers to A NONE TO b AND 2 FOR c. I cut the wires to one of the A speakers and attached wires for B speaker. Works great. In order to get all the pod speakers to work for tv I had to go ahead and use a mini cable from headphone jack on tv to a/v port on front of stereo. Not a hidden connection like i wanted but it also works great. Thanks to all for the help Dennis

Ok, well if you decide to cut the cord, maybe one of these blue tooth audio transmitters along with a blue tooth speaker is the ticket. It probably won't be as full of sound as the POD speakers, but you can put the speaker where ever you want and ax the patch cord.

Cliff, what is the dongle plugged into? Do you need to use your laptop + wireless speakers to make it work?

I have not personally tried this transmitter, but it gets really good reviews. It's a digital transmitter (blue tooth) so you should be able to plug it into any audio out source with a mini jack and then pair with a blue tooth speaker or headphones. It works on the same principle as an analog (RF) audio transmitter, like wireless headphones and speakers that are more prone to interference. The OontZ Angle - Ultra-Portable, Wireless, Bluetooth Speaker by Cambridge Soundworks. (Matte Black) Here is a device review on youtube, fast forward to about the 3 minute point: Bluetooth is a technical digital standard so theoretically any blue tooth transmitter should be parable to any blue tooth speaker.

I'm investigating the possibility of using an audio transmitter plugged into the TV out to connect with a wireless speaker. It appears blue tooth (RF) requires one of the devices (rx or tx) to be smart to complete the pairing. Has anybody tried this? If BT won't work I know for sure RF will.

MY 2014 178 does not have an RCA plate for inputing TV sound to the A/V system. My pod is in storage, but I believe I ran a mini-jack cable from the TV earphone jack to the auxilary jack in the A/V system. Worked great. This summer I plan to do it right and install a wall-mounted RCA plug plate on the wall, connecting through the backside to the A/V system. Then I can use the RCA audio out to the wall-mounted RCA input jacks which will connect behind the wall to the A/V system. Meanwhile, the mini patch cable is working fine.

I am also using the mini cable. If you are going to run rca cables it looks like that may be a chore after the fact. I bought a 12ft mini cable from walmart.com for $5 dollars works great and I might be able to route it easer than r.c.a. cables. The headphone jack on the Jensen seems to be a good quality jack and you could leave it hooked all the time. But I like Podsters blue tooth speaker idea also
