The cupboard door will be opened while using the receiver, at least that's the plan. The speakers have arrived and I'm in the process of making the hangers.

Thanks Brett I hadn't thought about that. If it is needed I already have a 110 volt fan that I took off my boot dryer and replaced with a a 12 volt fan when I bought this coach.

Well I finally got the speakers hung. I broke one hanging it and that is the part that I epoxied together. As they aren't to strong
I used goop to help hold them to the brackets that I made. I don't think they were made to hang in a Motor Home. I had to
make new legs for the Subwoofer as the ones that came were too high. The receiver should be here next week.

Well we have everything working. It sounds great. I got the old Bose speakers under the foot of the bed working but one of the
speakers has a power amp in it and needs 120 volt power and there is no receptacle there that I could fined. Do I need to put a
receptacle in there or am I missing something. I have ordered some 90 degree connectors so I can get the receiver in back
further. Pictures to come when the receiver is in the right place.

That's some major audio. Anyone who's experienced tunes thru Klipsch knows it.

Old Guy
In you middle pictures, what is the the box that the two coax wires are plugged into.?? Is that considered your distirbution box for the front and rear TV?. In my TV upgrade I am getting rid of the coax attaching to the actual TV's and running HDMI via cat 6 to each
as they both (and the bay TV) are 4K.

P.S. nice to see what wires are actually there BEFORE i removed the old CRT!!

The box is the signal booster from the TV antena. The TV in my unit was upgraded by the last owner. He put in a 28 inch TV and
next spring I am thinking of putting in a 32 inch TV. In doing it I think I will get rid of the middle cupboard and have the receiver
stick out where the door was and frame the left hand side of the receiver and make a door above the receiver.
Oh also the old coaxial distribution box I threw away as the previous owner got rid of the rear bedroom TV and I don't care
about having a TV there.

My install is with a 43 inch Sony as main and bay and Sony 32 inch in bedroom. I guess i will trash the signal booster. My setup is King quest 4100 to RF Splitter- to wally and Bell receiver then hdmi splitter to echo down scaler ( for 4k ) - then to hdmi over cat 6 to main tv, bedroom tv and bay tv.
Lots of design work
Will forward pics as the project commences.
Thsi should be fun for me as I really into the audio video stuff and usually use the best products etc.

Peter do you have Bose speakers under the foot of the bed. I'm wondering where they are plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
They weren't in when I bought it. I am looking forward to see your hookup.

yes I have the Bose speakers at the foot of my bed. I will probable be installing a second receiver to supply sound to those extra speakers in the bedroom and outside, but that is to be determined.....I have this feeling I am going way over board on the sound and video...but that just me. Using Anthony Gallo speakers fro my surround sound.

Peter where do your rear speakers plug into a receptacle. I have gotten mine going by using the block heater receptacle but that won't
work as I have to have the bed up. By the way mine name is Peter also.

that is a good question Peter...I have never looked as to where they plugged in. I was just going to re wire and run the wire behind the false panels on the driver side upper cupboards to the front. The same routing as I am using to run cat 6 to HDMI to the rear TV.
I will take a look tomorrow.

I have the RCA plugged in from the front to the left speaker and the a wire from the left speaker to the right speaker. There is
a 120 volt amp in the left speaker. If I have to I will wire a 120 volt receptacle into that space but there should be one there.

The 90 degree adapters came in to day and the receiver is all set up. The surround sound is amazing. One of the pictures with
the receiver even with the doorway is what I might do next spring when I put a bigger TV in and the other picture is where the
receiver will be for now. The last picture is how it is for now.

If you're comfortable working with electricity it shouldn't be difficult to add a new box there with the breaker panel there.

Forest it's not a problem to add a receptacle, I just hoping I don't have to do it and it doesn't make sense that there isn't one there.

97 U295 110V receptacles are on both sides of the bed. The plastic covers are brown, I've had customers not know for years.

I went out this morning and did a better look and I found a receptacle below the right hand speaker. I think I might have the
speakers in backwards as it would make more sense that the receptacle is below the speaker with the amp in it and there is enough
RCA cable to reach across. One of the speakers has a adjustment nob in it. Peter when you check could you tell me which side of
the bed the nob is on. I call the right hand side the passengers side.
