The one major complaint I have about the Wii is it's short 11' sensor bar wire. It works great for people using their Wiis next to their TV, but not when the Wii is 40' away from where you're projecting it. There are plenty of wireless bars available, but they require batteries and a button push every time you want to use it. I also found a 6' extension cable but wasn't in the mood to buy 5 of them. That left modifying it, and after reading this thread I was pretty confident I could do it. Reality soon kicked in when the comment about the thin wires turned out to be an understatement. I would have no reservations about calling these wires thinner than human hairs. Why this cable had to be so cheaply made I'll never know, but my attempts at connecting it to a length of speaker wire was a horrendous failure. A wireless solution was quickly implemented, with the original sensor bar now trash unless I can sucker Excelcier into attempting the connections. The wireless one also beeps like a microwave once the timer is about to run out, so I plan on trashing it next during my attempt to cut the speaker wire.
