Good catch on sub settings. I check it out. To be clear, I have a box for the speakers. The roof in the rv is full styrofoam insulation. It has a pocket cut into it for the speaker which is just big enough to fit it. I’m thinking that airspace is too small, but I have no idea what it should be. I think these smaller speakers are supposed to be in free air like a car door.
Camper in storage so it’s a pain to run back and forth making this process take a long time.
I have been thinking about using the ceiling holes and buying speakers for such an installation, specifically JBL in-ceiling models. I have to read about how they work and they are spendy compared to car-installation speakers, but it will enable me to use one amp for all the speakers., OR, buy a couple of amps like the one in my truck (JBL GX-A602, $50 from Sonic Electronics) which will do the trick for $100. I won't be using a sub because the music I listen to (mostly rock and roll with some blues and country thrown in, think Delbert McClinton) doesn't seem to need more bass from the 6.5 (door) speakers and the JBL 4x6s in the dash supplement the highs. The amp totally made the difference in a very cheap Kenwood head. I can burn any hoppy rap-car with these. :-D
The rig will have a much nicer Kenwood head, one that does iPhone through USB. The one I have in the truck will stay there as my '98 S10 (2.2L, 5-speed manual (syncro-mesh, NV-1500 trans) which will make an excellent toad.
I'll have to hear them in the same kind of environment, but I'm intrigued.
