How can I connect a speaker to my amp without a physical wires

AI Thread Summary
To connect a second pair of speakers to an amplifier without wires, a wireless speaker setup is recommended. This involves using a Bluetooth transmitter connected to the amplifier's LINE out, which sends audio to a Bluetooth receiver linked to a second amplifier and speaker. The remote amplifier will need its own power supply, and volume control will be managed from this second unit. While wireless options are convenient, transmitting power to a standard speaker wirelessly is not feasible. Bluetooth technology is the most practical solution for achieving wireless audio in this scenario.

I am trying to connect a second pair of speakers to my amp without the use of wires. It is really only one speaker position where running wires is impractical.

Depends on what you mean by connect.
You certainly can send music or other sound content wirelessly to a suitable "speaker" - ie one with a power supply, wireless receiver and amplifier. This is what is commonly sold as a wireless speaker. There is a small radio transmitter (or even maybe an IR transmitter) to attach to your source and a matching receiver attached to an amplifier and speaker, which you can position some distance away. No wires are needed, unless the speaker needs mains power rather than batteries. Batteries would probably mean a relatively low power speaker.

But if you want to send power from your amplifier to an ordinary speaker, no. Again you might send power a very short distance (mm rather than m) as a magnetic field, but you would need to add at least a coil of wire (and ferromagnetic core) to the speaker. The idea could be useful for getting through a thin barrier with a small amount of power maybe?

Merlin has responded well with the situation
But to clarify how to do it ...

Audio out of the LINE out ( NOT Speaker out) of your current amplifier to a Bluetooth transmitter module ( it will need a PSU prob ~ 3.3 or 5V depending on the module you get
It will transmit to a paired BT receiver module at your other location where you will have an amplifier and speaker connected to it.
The BT receiver module will connect into the LINE input of your second amplifier. ( you will set the volume of that remote speaker from the second amplifier)
That remote amplifier and BT module will require their own power supplies at that locationDave
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
