Hi so I have Sony dav-dz330 5.1 installed in the living room but its quite annoying that wires are everywhere and running on the walls which is quite visible and I can't run it in the wall. So I'm trying to find a solution to deal with these cables, was wondering if there's a way to make it wireless or something?

Marsman has it sussed. KEF did a wireless rear speaker kit. It was £450 for the transmitter and receiver/amp module. That's on top of the cost of the main surround system and speakers.

There's a product called Rocketfish which is a low cost version. These are somewhere in the £70-£100 range from Ebay. One highlighted issue is the audio delay that these things introduce because of the extra encode/decode process for transmission. http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/rocketfish-universal-wireless-rear-speaker-kit/

In the end your home system is a budget Sony surround kit (circa £170~£250 retail) so it seems pointless spending any more than £100 on hardware to do away with the front-to-back cables. You still have the rear speaker cables from the Rocketfish to deal with though. Personally I'd take the long view. Get the walls chased and cable hidden properly. Install some decent wire so that when you can afford a system upgrade then the wires in-wall are up to the job. No trunking; no boxes, no trailing wires, no additional power supplies.... simple, clean, elegant.

Yeah I'm planning to run long cable instead and hide it properly, however the cable connector is quite different and I don't think maplin has it.

So I'm wondering if I could just connect the two end splints to a newer cable but I don't if that'd affect the sound or the speaker itself.
