Our floor plan (45Y) and optional booth dinette caused the problem in our coach. The booth does away with the cabinets next to the dinette which is where they usually put it. Our fireplace is nearly parallel the outer wall so no space to put it behind. The dealer looked at putting it at the end of one of the booth drawers but the SW is an inch or so too tall to fit.

Vance, does it make much difference if the SW is disconnected? Might be one of those situations where none is better.

Mine is unplugged but it’s a feature that was paid for and needs to work effectively.

I called Entegra CS and complained, about the sub location...they said it wieless, and you can put it anywhere ya want....had to bite my lip, on what my response would have been

Not only is the source select a bad decision, the inability to directly connect a portable satellite antenna is a major downer. Coaches costing far less have that capability.

"It's too big" is not an acceptable answer. I can't believe there isn't a Bluetooth speaker that would fit although it might (Probably would) require VT changes

We already have a separate step to turn on the BR speaker since it is a different code from the TV and DTV

I have a coax connector to the left of my outdoor tv..I think it's for a portable sat dish connection..

I totally understand that. It sounds like the model of the sound system was not thought out at all. Looking forward to hearing of a solution.

This just shows when designing these things, there are no unimportant details. Apparently of all the different floorplans Entegra has with all the different variations, booth vs dinette, this one doesn’t have the space for the sub. I think the solution for Entegra will probably be to downgrade the sound bar. If they simply go to a lesser system, it will be easier to fit every variation.
