Seneca 37HJ TV Access

[Fishman417]

I am looking at installing a speaker bar in my 2016 Seneca 37HJ. The sound on the TV is trouble but my issue is:
1. How do I get access to the back of the TV to hook up the wiring?
2. How did you mount the sound bar itself?

Do you have any advise on how to complete this mod?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I have done this. Remove the wood buttons on the wood face frame and unscrew/remove the frame from the enclosure. I don't think I unmounted the TV as I had easy access to the RCA audio out ports (Jayco supplied a cheap tv that doesn't have an available HDMI or other digital or Bluetooth capable sound output). So RCA audio OUT to RCA audio IN on the soundbar. I mounted the soundbar so it rests flush with the top edge of the bottom rail of the enclosure frame (after reinstalling the face frame of course). I'll post a pic once I find it.

This is the sound bar I bought back in 2017 for this project was a Yamaha ATS-1060: https://youtu.be/JLE6pZkCIZY

My recommendation to you is to pull the face frame and see what sound ports are available on your tv before buying the soundbar. I didn't even consider wireless speakers but they would certainly be an option as long as you have the right interface on the tv.

Rick, Thanks for the advice!! Any pics would be great! I’m more of a visual learner.
