Can I use a wireless...

...between my Mesa WD-800 and Subway cabinets? Have a situation where the head needs to be closer to the wall outlet for the power c[h]ord to reach and then my speaker cables won't reach where I want to put the cabinets. I know you shouldn't use an instrument cable as a speaker cable, but a wireless unit shouldn't have small inner core issue and then I can put the cab and receiver within range of the transmitter and then it should work?
I bought it, hook line and sinker haha
 
These amazing engineers have come up with a device to fix your problem. Introducing:

My understanding is if you change out the speakon connectors to NEMA 5-15 connectors, you can just plug everything in through the AC wiring in the venue. You might get a little 60 hz hum, but that will quickly subside.
 
Why shouldn't this be feasible. It's just energy transmission. Hell, a big commercial radio station is pumping out 10,000 watts, so 500W over radio for a bass amp ought to be easy. There are already experimental microwave power transmission systems, so surely no theoretical reason why one shouldn't have one which is modulated to carry music.
 
just buy or build a proper cable. for the $ you'd spend on a wireless, which won't work, you can get whichever length speaker cable you need.

next question: Can you use $19.95 blue tooth ear buds from Amazon for IEMs?
yes, but they'll sound like crap and have so much latency you'll be brain damaged for life.

I wish I could see what you all are talking about. But I blocked this OP a long time ago.
Here is a copy and paste of what he posted.

At first I thought this was a serious post by a noob. Then I saw who wrote it.

Happy April Fools Day!
