I have a Itasca 40AD with surround sound. Previous owner gutted all the electronics (above the old Tube-type TV). I have new electronics (DVD player / surround sound amp).
I am putting it back together - and for the life of me I can't find where the speaker wires are located. All the speakers are there - as is the Subwoofer..
Up in the area where the electronics were, there should be a 12 pin AMP connector. The wires should run in pairs and each pair serves a speaker.
I believe radio shack carries a mating connector for this.

On my 05 Winnabago adventurer, I replaced the old TV with a new Digital LCD TV. When I pulled out the old TV I noticed 2 wires coming from the back of the TV with RCA connectors. Upon pulling the case off the TV I found they were wired to the speakers inside the TV. I got no surround sound from the new TV, until I removed the outside casing and soldered those wires to the internal speakers. When connecting the RCA connectors I had surround sound. This is apparently a short cut that Winnabago uses.(Not included in wiring diagrams I downloaded)

I took a look - no 12 pin connector anywhere. This really has me disturbed, being an Electrical Engineer, I thought this would be easy.
Also, yes, I downloaded the wiring diagram, pretty hard to follow.
a PICTURE of the wiring would be good...but Winnebago does do many pictures...
Then the only other thing I can suggest would be to drop a speaker to see what kind of wire they used, that might give you a little something to look for. (For example, a grey/green twisted pair) I found my subwoofer that way.
The Winnies around 5 yrs back used a pseudo-surround sound system, not a true one. It took the output from the TV through a noise suppressor to a unit that on my 2004 Vectra is in a bay. From there the speaker wires go out to the various speakers in the surround sound system.
You won't see a 5 or 6 pair set of speaker wires coming from the TV in those systems, just a simple RCA plug from the TV audio out going into the noise suppressor and from there to the River Park sound system.
