Insurance Questions - covering my audio system?

I called me insurance agent and asked them about adding my sound system to my policy. They called back a day later saying that they no longer can add or cover a modification such as a new sound system. Is there any other way I can have it covered - homeowners insurance? Thanks!

Every insurance company seems to have their own policy when it comes to covering systems.

The short of it is that if they say no, tough beans to you and there is nothing you can do.

My insurance agent was in an accident recently and is still recovering in the hospital so it's been tough to get any information. I've been speaking to people around the office who may or may not really know. I may just have to wait until he has recovered and gets back to working. It's an unfortunate situation. I'll give a call back this week just to make sure - if they still say no I guess homeowner's it is. I park my car in the drive-way so I don't think it would be much of a problem.
