Possibly. Where the stereo cabinet is, there's not a reasonable way to
use wired LAN, so it'd have to be wireless.
To use PXE network boot your network card must have BIOS making it capable
to boot. Some network cards have a socket for placing a PROM with such a
BIOS. Many motherboards with builtin NICs also have such a BIOS which can
be enabled in the CMOS setup.
However, wireless network is a little bit more complex than wired lan. I
don't know if there are any wireless cards which it is possible to boot
from.
It might also possible to find a boot floppy or cdrom that has the right drivers to PXE boot from.
You can also use an external wireless bridge attached to a wired NIC in order to get PXE boot to work.
