The day we walked into our new house, I looked at the wires hanging from the ceiling and it was clear that they had "daisychained" the wires. I pointed it out to the job superintendent and he said, "Oh we thought you were putting in Bose speakers like everybody else. I said "no", and he had the subcontractor come back and pull all of the wires out of the walls, the ceiling and control boxes and put in two pairs as I had originally asked.

I have been working with audio systems all of my life (all of my life) and was not aware that Bose uses a different wiring system. Apparently they do. I guess they run the speakers in series rather than parallel.

Thanks for the Heads Up, TH.... I'll make sure they know and I'll also do a bit of research on Bose wiring....
