Tying into speakers in front overhead

[Jay Darst]

Bob,

Please post some pictures of your TV installation. Been wanting to get
to this update also.

As far as hooking the TV to the stereo speakers...

If you can determine if the stereo has "aux audio in" RCA jacks, then
you can use the RCA output jacks from the TV to the stereo. The aux
audio output RCA jacks on a TV are usually un-amplified, very low
voltage/amperage signal to go to a Stereo system.

You may find speaker connections on the back of the TV that use a basic
insulation-removed wire connection. These would have to go directly to
speakers. If you connect the stereo to the speakers and then simply add
the wires from the TV, you will back feed the amp that supplies a signal
from the stereo amp. Probably will cause a problem, so don't do that.

You can add a 2 or 3 position switch to make sure that the speakers
receive only one signal at a time. Found a GREAT web site for switches:

If you want to connect the Tv to the speakers and not go thru the
stereo, just connect the Tv to the speakers, use this link:

<http://www.tselectronic.com/gc/switches/35_080.html>


then use switch #35-146 it is DPDT ~ ON-ON

By the way, This is the best selection of switches I have found on the
I-Net.

When constructing the outside entertainment system on my Bird, wanted to
run the TV through the stereo cause the entertainment system stereo
kicks butt. 1,500 watt sub amp and 200 watt mid/hi pass amp. 3 10"
Inifinity Kappa Perfect 10.1D Subs, 2 Infinity Kappa series 6x9's. Some
of these days, you too, will swing by my rig to tell me to "TURN IT
DOWN!" ;~}

Any questions on this, call me 217-971-0036. Been there done that a few
times now(home, boats now RV's)
