Do they both need to be plugged into same circuit breaker?

Nope, I've had mine for about a year now and they are hooked up on opposite sides of the house and they work beautifully.

No they don't, but you mileage may vary depending on how old your wiring is. They do state that performance is better if they're on the same side of the circuit panel.

Don't know, but from what I have heard the answer is probably yes. I do know that they have to be on the same circuitry.

You could have them both connected to the same battery. Each has its own controller. I do not know if you can wire them for any configuration other than 12v....

The manufacturer of this product suggest that only one unit to an outlet, because your outlet's circuit breaker for that plug outlet may not berated for that much wattage. Plugging two of these units may cause your circuit breaker to trip or over heat. Or if you have fuse they may over load and blow.

Not necessary the same breaker but they have to be on the same 120v circuit. As you can see from this picture http://tinyurl.com/ouulosn the 120v circuits alternate in the breaker box. Even number breakers will be on one circuit and odd numbers on the other. If your plugs are both on even or odd breakers this should work.

Sorry, that one needs to be plugged in. You would need a generator or a converter.

No. This tester uses both pieces to find the breaker for that circuit. This tester must use both pieces to find that circuit. They only work on 120 VAC.

You plug them into the socket and that's it! (They will all be connected to each other, as long as they are in the same circuit panel)

if you connect them it will start a fire or blow circuits (fuses). do not try this

Yes, but you cannot plug both of these into the same circuit. Mostly meaning you cannot use them in the same room. To be quite honest, I wouldn't bother with these. They use a whole lot of power and are no better than ceramic space heaters. We sent ours back.

I would say to be on the safe side, take the info on both of these units and go ask an electrician at a local electrical shop. Sometimes Radio shack employees have no idea, it's worth the effort so you don't ruin anything you have, hope this helps.

Both would need to be plugged in. When you daisy chain you are just sending the signal from one speaker to another. So yes they both have to be plugged in and turned on.

I would check other outlets. I placed both in seperate places in house and worked like a charm.

Yes, but make sure both PSU's are plugged in to some sort of Battery Back Up + Surge Protection. Otherwise you'll fry both during an electrical surge.

Yes, but you need to insure that the circuit you are plugged into can handle the load. If not, you will trip the breaker.

Yes. I wired mine to the existing switch. If you don't have one, just add one inline to your power panel.

You can, but I tried both on and the fuse blew up and then it wouldn't come back on no matter what (even w fuse replacement). This was only after a week of owning them and no use (I had tested it for only 5 minutes). I returned it but they charged me 50 dollars more for replacement one. I'm super careful with them but they are junk, it's just a matter of time again before it stops working, don't buy them.
