Beaver Marquis Bose Replacement

Docj, I think I saw your posting on the Beaver forum, and yours is the idea I "stole". I get one speaker's sound out of the Bose system with the LifeStyle radio playing, and I just agree with you about fixing the older tech. I think you went with the Sony Soundbar and Sub, and now Vizio has the 5.1 sound bar with sub and 2 speakers. I didn't pull the drawer totally out of the couch but only where it stopped and then shown my light back in there and it appeared to be carpeted flooring but I guess maybe if possible I can pull the drawer entirely out, unless of course I find it under the sink. I also want to pull the bose radio so I hope I can run the pre-amp outputs up to the Vizio as well. I haven't removed the windshield corner posts but hope that if I do, then I can run cables up there and then over to the Vizio. In my 1999 I am going to carefully remove the nice walnut cabinet doors, store them, then get a nice piece of lumber (maybe zebra wood) about 5' by 7-8 inches and mount it across all 3 cabinets allowing it to flip up by fitting the existing hardware to it, then mount the Vizio wall mounts and Vizio unit to that. I am trying not to burn any bridges décor-wise in case I ever do sell it, the next owner can put the doors back and never know that the décor was changed. I'll screw the new wood to the inner cabinet construction Beaver did rather than the walnut fascia. And, like you I may place the Sub in the cabinet above the driver. However, I also need to put at least my dish sat receiver in there, so the sub may be on its side. The idea is to use the rear speaker wire runs to connect the rear speakers to the Vizio sub-woofer in the cabinet. If the Bose Speakers work, then fine, but otherwise I'll replace them with the 2 Vizio speakers in the identical kitchen/dining room locations.
