Recently bought a 27ft Class C and will be having a pretty good radio (carry Sirius) and amp installed. My brother wants to have a set of outdoor speakers powered by the radio for when we sit outside. All intelligent thoughts and ideas appreciated. Name some make and models if you want. The speakers would not be permanently placed to the side of the rv but maybe?? the mounts would be. Also the speakers don’t have to be permanently attached to the radio, they could be connected to a plug coming from the rear of the stereo???? Anyway…..
I have not seen any outdoor type speaker for vehicles like home audion. Car audio speaker are normally 4 OHM and home speakers in the 8 OHM (requires more power to drive). You can purchase a set of car speakers and build your own box to hold them and install to the side of your rv. Make your that you do not overload the power amp by adding another set of speakers, you can put a plug on one set of speaker from the rv and unplug it when using the outside speaker. This is the most inexpensive way, try name brand speakers like JBL, Infinity, MTX, JL for quality sound and dependability. Hope this helps and good luck.
