Help me replace in-wall HiFi

[boxst]

I've just moved into a house and the previous owner did quite a good job of speakers and in-wall HiFi. Unfortunately as with all of these things they go out of date and it has an old-style iPod dock and no bluetooth.

My daughter would like to stream music and I would like to just replace with the minimum amount of redecoration. It is a Goodmans micro 14671 which according to the internet has Dimensions: Unit: 260(L) x 110 (W) x 190 (H)

Does anyone have any recommendations for something similar sized?

Thanks,

Steve

You've got next to sod all change of finding something the same size,

You'd prob be better off getting something a bit bigger, cutting the plasterboard to allow for it, and then putting in 4 new pieces of wood trim in. Not a difficult job. Probably easier than trying to find something else to fit!

Thank you. As I'm useless with this stuff, any idea for something even if it is a bit bigger?

Thanks,

Where are you?

Several of us dealers and installer here that may be able to pop in and help you come up with an idea / plan.

I think you would just need to yank that thing out of there and patch up the hole and buy your daughter a decent bluetooth speaker!

I’m in East Sussex.

While I need to yank it out, he built in speakers in the bedroom wall with a switch to swap to the bathroom so don’t really want to replace them just the music source.

Cheapest and easiest way , is to fit a Bluetooth dongle to the iPod dock , just plug it in and off you go ! Maybe something like this would work , you can’t be 100% without trying it https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetooth-Music-Receiver-...

For blutooth only with existing speakers this would do the job although its a lot smaller

That's awesome. I didn't know such things existed. Ordered one from Amazon to see if it works: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L3P1QC8/ref...

Has a AUX input, just wire a bluetooth adapter to that. No mess then.

Thank you. For one of the other rooms I put this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074DVJ1FV/ref... behind it and for such a cheap thing it works really well. Just wanted someone a bit more functional.
