My daughter/son in law, are over the road truckers. They have a large 55" tv installed on the side of the wall and mention that they wish they could get a little more sound, especially when the truck is going. Can this be plugged into the tv to give...

The sound quality is better than a TV. I plugged it into my LCD TV and the only problem I had was that there was no volume control. Any standard USB port can be used to charge the device. I have it plugged into my TV with a 25 foot extension cord.

My experience with his booster has been very positive. It pretty much solved my problem (which was similar to yours). The trick is to put it as far upstream as possible... where the signal strength is adequate (can't boost a signal that isn't there). It sounds like you have a good enough signal coming in, being the other TVs are getting a solid picture. I'm guessing the "problem" TV is at the end of a long run. You might be splitting things up too much, so the signal strength is dropping below the muting point. .. this amp should solve that. Good, solid product.

It would, but that shouldn't matter. They are out putting the same sound, your TV would just act as a center speaker at that point.

I used a set of RCA plugs, stripped the wires and connected to speaker wires so I could plug into the back of the tv. I thought this would work, but I was wrong as they did not produce very much sound going directly into the audio of the tv. I eventually wired them into my center channel speakers on my home theater and they produced the sound I was looking for out of them. I would suggest if using these you would need a receiver to plug them into and not going into the tv directly.

Unless you have an unusual TV, I would say no. You would need a regular 4 ohm output from the TV. Mine is substituted for the center speaker that came with our surround sound system. Much clearer sound.

You need a receiver to push the amps through it. It demands a lot. TVs don't have much.

I'm not at all familiar with that unit, but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion. It's a question of the antenna. Can you unplug the antenna wire (transmission line) from the TV? If so, then you have an antenna jack on the TV which can be used for plugging in a much larger antenna, instead. Plugging in anything from bookshelf-mounted rabbit ears to a rooftop-mounted antenna would be an improvement over the little antenna supplied with the little TV. But you're allowed to plug a bigger antenna into a little TV, if the little TV has an antenna jack. If you can unplug the little included antenna and have an antenna jack on the side of the TV, I would recommend bringing the TV into a Radio Shack, let the teenage salespeople there identify the jack on your TV, and see what they have to offer that will plug in there. Even your little antenna may perform better if you park it against a window -- more radio waves get through the glass windows than through the walls, so the signals are a little stronger against the windows. Try a window on each compass point of your house. Signals are also stronger upstairs (if you have one), and it couldn't hurt to experiment with bringing the TV outside where there are even fewer walls to block the TV signals. The AV In jack would be (for instance) for playing a DVD player through the little TV. The AV Out jack would be for hooking up a bigger TV to play what's on your little TV screen. In either case, neither of those are what you need for receiving more TV channels. What you need is an improved antenna situation. Another strategy for getting more TV stations is to move closer to the inner city, where the broadcast towers are located. TV reception is challenging out in the country. Peace, -Neil-

I don't think so, it's really not that loud a pretty directional. My bedroom shares the living room wall where my TV is and it's not noticeably louder in there.

Yes, you should be able to. I use it just for additional volume when far away from the TV and sounds just like what is coming out of the main bar. Just check the auto volume level as it can make a big difference in the volume level. One way it's very quiet and more "surround like" and the other it's louder and more "front audio" like.

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.

to get the surround effect the sound for the side and rear are bounced off the walls of your viewing area.so if you mount the speaker below your tv will the sound waves have a clear view of the walls or will there be furniture and other soft stuff in the way? I mounted my speakers be the tv. A subwoofer really adds so much to the sound that it is well worth it. Atlantic technology sells a wireless unit for the subwoofer that I just installed this week, lot easier to place a powered subwoofer.

I don't know if this, or any other, speaker would boost volume for a tv with low volume. It might help to go into the settings screen for the tv and see if the volume can be adjusted. A powered sound bar might be helpful. Buy one at walmart and if it doesn't help you can return it.

The unit came with a 3.5 mm Jack. If your TV has a recept for this jack plugging into it probably disables the TV speakers. It did on my set.

No..works fine under the TV....If your TV is hung on the wall you need to get alternative speakers.

I would do a little research as far as the speakers you are using and the TV you are hooking up to. You may or may not need an amplifier or tuner to boost the power from your TV to your speakers. You may want to stop in at an electronics store and ask an expert. However, if you do not need an amplifier, these wires work great.

It depends on the width of your tires. I have a road bike (thin tires) and I can easily hear my tv while riding without having to crank the sound up.

You could use amplified speakers as long as you get the right cord. To work in your truck you are going to need a vehicle antenna. The home antenna that comes with won't work well inside your truck.
