Subject: Rewiring sound system

Howdy Mates,

I recently purchased a nice sound system for ole Bill Bones and had it
"professionally installed," but it never really sounded right to me.  So I
got online and found lots of good information regarding hooking up a stereo
system and amplifier and discovered that the polarity of many of my speaker
connections were reversed, I heard engine noise in the stereo, there were
far too many splices in the wiring, the "pros" had just attached to the
original (and old) wiring harness, etc.

So, I purchased 50 feet of JL Audio speaker cable, pretty much stripped the
inside of my bus out, ran new wires everywhere (including new power wires
and grounds), and now the stereo sounds great.  The moral of this story:  if
you want something done right, take the time to figure it out and then just
do it yourself.

Have a great evening.
