Joel,
Where do you think I got the idea to install the vizio sound bar, Santa Claus?
No, I searched and found your postings when I found that I just couldn't get the Bose to work at all except for one speaker. I quickly purchased the 5.1 Vizio surround bar with wireless subwoofer which connected to 2 rear speakers. Like you I put the subwoofer in the tv cabinet along with my Dish Sat box, after removing all the Bose systems.
The two kitchen Bose speakers sounded better than the 2 vizio speakers, and the wiring was already in the tv cabinet so I hooked them up even though others said they wouldn't work with anything except a Bose system. They work great! The two bose speakers up front are connected to my BOSS radio which I installed in place of the Delco/Bose radio, but I can use the fade control on the radio to switch from the front two speakers to the Vizio surround system. I think you'd gotten the previous model which lacked the wireless connection to the subwoofer and also the 2 extra speakers. I can not imagine the Bose 2.1 sounding as good as this 5.1 system. It just perfectly creates the sound in the Beaver space.
Oh, I've looked in all the right places for the old subwoofer. Someone took it out. I believe it had been under the couch because I did find a wire under there which seemingly use to connect something.
I do have the Bluetooth in the sound bar which I mounted to a long oak board which replaces the 3 cabinets across the front of my coach.
From reading your posts, I know that you are more liberal than I when it comes to updating the original coach, but for me, being more conservative, I make it so the next owner would be able to put everything back to original and start again if he/she wanted. Even when I added my countertop Danby dishwasher I've only used existing holes in the counter (the liquid soap hole to run the water plumbing underneath the sink.
Knowing this about me, you can understand why I'm not adding rope lights throughout.
You can see my sound bar setup in some of the interior pictures of my coach here -
http://coach.quickreckoning.com/I've learned a lot from you, that's for sure. You might have been the original poster of the Chinese wafer leds that I replaced my halogens with.
And I'll have to post one of those "thank you"s to you.
Mike
