Boo Boo on my part

Today Removed 32" lift TV to mount the Sub Woofer behind the TV instead in the bottom of the cabinet where Forest River had it so you could not put any thing in the cabinet what a waste of space. anyway I put everything back in place and no sound out of TV after checking out the wiring I found I put the wires for the speakers on the TV's input instead of output. What was I thinking must be old age or something But For Awhile I thought the Concert Tone went BYE BYE Wheeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuu Thank Goodness it is OK.

Had me worried for awhile because I had fixed all the Rats nest they had behind it and I thought I had messed up.
I also replaced the power wires they had to the Subwoofer they had wires #6 bigger than the wires going to the batteries. I put in #10 and works fine. also while I was in the cabinet behind the power supply I noticed they had put in a Nice ground bar but took all the lighting grounds and twisted them together put them into the largest hole in the bar that was eight about in each and tightened them down that was in two holes altogether the bar has a total of about twenty so I went to work and cleaned that mess up some people are so lazy any way I used all the holes except three. alot neater now and not that much work to do it right.

Now thats something you should have done a step by step pic album of .... Sounds like you had your hands full for the day though.

Well I do have some before and after pics.

Great job!

Great job of freeing up some storage space. Nice work.

But where is the saw dust
Sean

Good question, Sean. I didn't notice that. Onetonford must be very tidy. I'm sure the sawdust was there earlier.

Tater

Yes Yes it was

Sean where have you been I havn't seen you here for awhile?
Ok I saw the other post good to hear from ya.

Ok folks how many of you have sub woofers installed in your WC. I do not have one, and just want to know if I was supposed to have one.
After reading OneTonFord's post about the size of the wires going to the sub woofer it got me thinking. On my 28RKBS in the kitchen along the right side of the refer there is a 6x10 piece of cloth material that is velcroed into the cabinet. I pulled this cover off and found two large wires with electric style caps on the ends of both of these cables. These cables were what you would use for battery terminals. Here is where I am going with this, is this where my sub woofer was supposed to be installed. So I am asking you 2010 28RKBS's owners to check your WC and see if you have a sub woofer there please. The electrical panel is just to the left of this cover so when I first saw these wires I figured FR ran the wires and never needed them.....

If needed I will take a picture of what I am talking about if anyone is confused....
Thank you,

You know I didn't look real close, I just pulled off the cover to clean up all the saw dust on the floor when I noticed those two huge wires with caps on the end of them. I will look later today snap a picture or two and post them here. I was also planning on getting over to the dealer and looking at a 28RKBS he has on the lot and see what I find....

bsmall2800 is right. I have the same setup and there is a sub woofer installed there. I would say Bill got short changed. I believe the sub woofer is standard equipment

Our trailer has it mounted in the ceiling.

That wall mount unit not much of a subwoofer. When I think of subs, I think of 10" minimum. That one looks like 6".

Ceiling here also.

On my Cat I have a pair of front a pair of rears a centre speaker and also the sub mounted just behind the concertone.
Sean

3 in front and 2 work, 2 in back, and a woofer on high.

jetskier after I read your post I went to trailer and measured the sub it is 10" I think the pics make it look smaller you have to remember the TV in front of it is 32".. also if I turn up the power on the subwoofer it will shake the screws out of the wildcat and I would have to put them back myself I don't thnik Forest River would warrenty that!

Sounds like it if I was him I would demand they install it since the wiring was installed for it.!

That good to hear. pun intended.

Thanks to all that assisted me with this, I will be making a call to the dealership to see what's up!!!!!!
I am going to post a picture anyway, so give me minute...

Ok here is the front with the cover in place:


Here are the wires along with the speaker wires that I just found today:


I will look real close and see if just maybe the sub woofer was left laying on the floor and slid to the left out of sight, I could only be so lucky with that one!!!
It just amazes me how much valuable information you can find out on this web site and all of its members, just by reading what a member posts here. It funny how those words "large gauge wires for the sub woofer" posted in the original post hit me upside the face and got me thinking... So thank you OneTonFord for locating my lost/missing sub woofer.....

bsmall2800 what concertone do you have? Mine is a ZX75.

OneTonFord I am about 99.9% certain that I to have the ZX75, why do you ask sir?

Just wondering why they would wire for sub woofer and forget it. seems odd since mine is wired to use the subwoofer I thougt maybe you had a different model that did not use the sub but that is not the case.

OneTonford, is this woofer a plug and play? On your picture of the woofer there are some black wires coming out the bottom. Where do those wires go? Because all I have as far as wiring goes is what you see. Are there more wires I need to be looking for for the sub woofer?

Here is the unit that I have in the WC:
