Along the same lines.. For those with Class A/C's what type of systems do you have? Was thinking about buying 2 Pioneer headunits one for the front and another for the back. Almost seems like a waste but it's the only way I can see it working. One would have 2 6x9's tied to it for the TV etc. Don't have a big enough inverter to run a regular stereo.
I think it's 200w/400w max but it's a cheapy HF model. It probably would but the receivers I have are a bit big. A regular headunit would be smaller more efficient was my thought.
BTW, a cheap inverter is false savings. They fail quickly and may take a device with them. With a good sized RV, it makes some sense to get a good sine wave inverter that will power the electronics without worry.
