Replaced the Quest QR2000!
A little background. The only two problems with the new rig were the assist handle rubbing on the slide when stowed(dealer will fix this at the end of the season) and an annoying hiss(white noise?) from the DVD/Suround even with the volumn turned all the way down. Dealer said he would replace the unit when I get the handle problem fixed. In the meantime the QR2000 died totaly, so I arrange with the dealer that I'll remove the old and reinstall the replacement to save dragging the rig 100 miles. I do that and guess what? the replacement works but has the same annoying hiss, I guess it's in the design. Anyway I had been looking at inexpensive units to replace it and saw a Koss KS4102 at Sears that fit the bill and sounded very good. Today Sears has a one day sale with an additional $50 off for a $129 final price. Took about an hour to swap the unit(used most of the origional speakers) Added bonus and brownie points, I installed the new Subwoofer in the cabinet under the desk and removed the old one from the cabinet where my wife keeps pots and pans(a dumb place to put it anyway). New system sounds great, I'm happy, wife happy, a real win-win. Only drawback is I need an A-B switch for the bedroom speakers, QR2000 had it built it KS4102 doesn't, not a complicated fix just need to make a run to Radio Shack.
