westend, I hadn't thought about the elevated location affecting the audio quality, good point.
I know there are all kinds of Bluetooth speakers out there and for less money. I like that the King has the permanent 12V connection, no need to charge it, and that it is attached, no set up.
I may buy something less expensive to "experiment" with.
Not looking to annoy the neighbors, just would like to sit out front and listen to a CD now and then :)
If you plan to get the music signal from your RV's player/radio and are able to fish some wire, there are many good choices out there for conventional, non-bluetooth speakers.
If you choose a conventional speaker with the newer neodymium magnet, mounting is fairly easy since the depth is small. A mounting bracket or baffle can be used to mount to the side of the RV with a very small exit hole for the wire.
Alternatively, the signal wire can be terminated with a jack on the exterior and a stand alone speaker box with connector could be used to locate the speaker anywhere you wish.
Coincidentally, I'm now in the process of my final design and implementation of a small boombox that can be attached to bike handle bars or used remotely. The boombox can be fitted with accessories like phone holders for bluetooth selectivity, mirrors, lights, camera, etc. I have chosen the speakers for this and these small Faital 3EF20 proved to have good sound and met the requirements of the bike boom box. They are waterproof and sound is amazing for their size.
