nvrtoofast Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm working on outfitting stereo in the bedroom of my 2006 Monaco Camelot. I have an RCA cable behind the TV. It has Left Right and Video. There are two speakers over the bed that work independently from the house stereo. I'm trying to locate the amplifier between these two. I've traced the RCA cabling under the bed and will continue looking around. I'm asking if anyone knows the location of low voltage wiring for the bedroom area. It will certainly save me time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Babb Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 A cable tracer might be money well spent in that case. They cost somewhere in the 25 to $40 range and are available at most home supply and electrical supply dealers. They will allow you to trace wires behind non conductive walls as well as helpingt o verify individual wires once you find the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary 05 AMB DST Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Could the RCA cable left, right be a connection to the speakers over the bed. Gary 05 AMB DST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary 05 AMB DST The Rca cables are for the sppeakers but they have to process through an amp at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstickbill Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I believe the RCA cables run from the front entertainment center to the rear TV. The radio speakers are wired separately and may run in the forward and aft in the ceiling. Bill B 07 Dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 My 06 Diplomat has 2 speakers in the bedroom that are factory wired to the main dash radio. Make sure your dash radio is set to center and not front. I added a small soundbar to my bedroom TV. Make sure those RCA are hooked to output if looki g for speakers. If hooked to input, then probably a DVD or vcr, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinhy Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 My coach has Bose surround sound throughout. The bass is under the sink and speakers outside in a lower bay....but I have NO clue how they turn on......I have a remote for it but it's not turning on anything. I have this satellite thingermabob...(technical term) in the overhead front cabinet with all kinds of wires going to it....counting all of the video, tv and elec remotes earlier.....9 total.

Joelsheriff Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I have been using the Actiontec MY WIRELESS TV 2 from best buy and on line for a few years. Yes it Disconnects with power but reconnects easily enough. Sure was easier than running wires through my 24 ft slide having slack enough to move etc etc. It a very viable solution.

The 2 with radio work fine. You're right. They are rear channel and only work when radio activates the rear channel. Overall. Just not happy with the sound in this rig. I swapped the head unit and it helps. Planning a large up-fit with some quality amplification and speakers. Control is still up in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLIFF918 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I have acquired a 2002 Monaco Diplomat very well kept inside and out. I was not satisfied with the sound coming from The Kenwood radio in dash radio with CD changer. Before going after the radio I found that one of the 6 speakers in the coach was not working at all. I pulled that one speaker to find out why and found that it was completely dry rotted. The other 5 were in the same condition they made noise but not sweet. I replaced all 6 with Pioneer TS-F1634R 6.5" 200W 2-Way Speakers they fit perfectly in the grilles. The sound is great no need to change the radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvrtoofast Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Cliff918, Makes complete sense. Speaker technology is light-years ahead of the 2002 speakers. I'm working now to replace all speakers, reposition the sub-woofer, add a new source (Head unit for TV), and streamline the wiring. Tracing and bypassing the Aladdin system is a bit of a chore but I'll live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lake49068 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Need to add to the confusion about the RCA wiring...I've got a small DVD player in a bedroom cabinet that connects to the TV above and it is RCA wiring. Maybe someone got rid of a DVD player and left the wiring behind. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
