The only option I have is to mount the indoor amplifier/power supply in my attic. What will happen if I do?

Try it. It might work. I have my outdoor antenna, and have this amplifier near my HDTV in the basement. It has worked so far.

Try it. It might work. I have my outdoor antenna on the roof of the house, and have this amplifier near my HDTV in the basement. It has worked so far.

Why is that your only option? Is your TV in the attic? If not then you plug the power supply in next to the TV.

You need the amp as close to the antenna as possible. In my case it is just a 3' cable from the antenna with the amp mounted on the mast holding the antenna to the roof. You are losing signal strength with every foot of cable from the antenna to the amp so you want it to be as short as possible. The power supply on the other hand can go anywhere. Typically it is near the TV or the distribution point for the rest of the TVs in the house. The power supply can be in the attic if you have 120VAC outlet to plug it in there or it can be in you basement or living room.

Mount the power supply closer to the TV and a power plug, the other component mounts closer to the antenna; it has "U" bolts which can attach to the mast in your attic: it is weather proof if your antenna is mounted outside. The cable passes through both components. I had a run of over sixty feet of cable between my attic antenna and my TV, so I adjusted the gain control ( on the power supply) to max.

Inline is inline. The closer you can get the amp to the antenna the better.

The closer to the tv this device is, the better (in theory) it will perform. However I found this product to boost the gain way too much, even on the lowest setting, and caused the reception to actually get worse. I ended up returning it and thus cannot recommend this product.

If you're asking if it will damage the speaker then no not at all, there's no reason you couldn't, it's just not going to sound half as good as it would with say a 1000w amp!

I have a power amplifier at my attic to amplify the antenna signal. In order to supply the power for the amplifier at the same time to get the signal I need this device to connect it to my digital box and power amplifier at the attic. So I can control the power for my power amplifier at fa.ily room instead at the attic. I do not know what your purpose. You can email me again I can tell you what you should do.

Absolutely. I connected my amplifier with my bookshelf speakers using regular speaker wire without anything special.

P.S.Your old power-Amp has no high-res capabilitys I gues?So you will lose the benefits if your new system.

Kevin,I do not believe so. The system is powered through a small desk top device with a wireless sub. I fear you may "blow up" your speakers if you try adding an amplifier. This is an expensive but great 3-piece system. I like the fact it powers off automatically when TV or computer is shut down.

Shouldn't be a problem at all. I would definitely get the radio shack power supply others recommend in the reviews, and I switched out the stock tube with a Mullard so now this baby sings! Hope this helps.

According to Pyle it will present an 8 ohm load or better to the amplifier. I have not hooked mine up yet. It took forever to find an appropriate depth box with a mounting I could be comfortable with. The box depth is the big issue. then I had to paint the box to work with the wall. Mounting was the next issue. To say it fits in any box is total bull.I spent 3 weeks looking for a proper receptical box, with a mounting I could live with.

No, you shouldn't. Ohms are a measure of impedance and shoukd be matched between the speaker and the amplifier. Will it work? Yes, but it will overdrive the amp, lead to wxcessive heat and (substantially) shorter life.

I have the output connected to another amp, in anothher room. No external spkr jacks to do it otherwise unless internal wiring is modified.

There are no power supply, you just connect straight to your amp. Or receiver.

I would add a strong shelf to the wall above the TV, then place this speaker on it. If you tap into the speaker it will damage the sound quality, and there are no mounts pre-built into this speaker.

I use it indoors so I would assume that mounting it in a garage attic is fine, so long as you can get it wired to your TV.

I would just to be on the safe side, especially if you decide to mount the antenna on your roof to prevent any electrical discharge from entering your home. But with it mounted in your attic, you don't need to run a ground.

It's hard to tell not knowing how or where you are setting your antenna up at. I put my antenna in the attic, just needed to splice into the existing antenna cable in the attic, I purchased RF connectors at Walmart, I also added an additional RF output above my fireplace, so I needed an RF HD split-er and some RF HD Cable. Depending on if you have some distance between your antenna and your junction box (place where all your tv cables meet-up, you can add an RF amplifier. Good Luck

yes, your cable comes from the amp on the antenna into the house and then goes to the power suppy that's plugged in the the wall before any splitters. It's a great amp as long as your not to close to a transmitter, then it might overload your signal

If you're receiving a good signal now, the amplifier will strengthen it considerably. It shoudl work the same with an attic antenna as it does one placed outdoors.
