Attitude sound systems?

[carringb]

Eclipse offers a $1,000 "Delux Sound system" option. Anybody have this? For the money, it better be a darn good system. If it's only OK, maybe I'm better off with a decent sound bar?

If I don't order that option, does it at least some pre-wired for speakers?

Opinions?

Thanks!

Unless it has speakers for the outside its useless to me cause i dont sit and listen to music or watch tv while camping, im outside thats why i do it, camping.

Same here...unless it's zero and snowing...or pouring the rain...at almost 65, I'm still quite active, fishing, hiking, hunting, etc...BUT, when it's REALLY cold outside, the wife and I stay inside, or snowing really bad...That's also the reason we go camping...but there are occasions when we are inside our 5er, and if I want to watch a movie in 5.1 surround, it's like being in the movies...if I want to listen to music, it's awesome..Also have 2 outdoor Bose single speakers with subwoofer..so yeah, I got that sound outside in spades....for an old guy, that ain't bad now is it???

Sounds like the perfect setup to me...

Note: Whats Snow?

:BSnow is part of the 4 seasons I grew up in....I love Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, they all bring back great memories that have occurred thoughout the almost 65 yrs I've been on this earth...I don't want to miss any of them.....

I have the 28SAG in my sig on order and passed on the upgrade as I wanted customize my system (if I even really use it). While in LA for work this week I stopped by a couple of Attitude and Stellar dealers as my dealer only had a stripped 28SAG so I wanted to browse other models while I had some free time. I saw one model that had the upgrade and it was using a Jensen VM9226BT with digital display. Looks to be more car-friendly with nav and sat ready along with a backup camera option. A quick look at the install diagram shows what seems to be just an RCA video out. If all this is true I would not be too happy to pay for an upgrade that basically go me a sub and some speakers. Of course YMMV.

Sorry, screwed this up!

Check that...

975 manual actually says: 108 Watts Total (18 Watts per Channel) Someone needs to fix their webpage that says 132W

968 manual says: 48 Watts Total (6 Watts, 8 Channel)

So the 975 has more output but less channels (6 vs 😎


I'm really just looking to improve my outside speakers so may look at adding a separate amp for those two channels and upgrade the speakers

Jensen has a replacement which has HDMI output. Jensen AWM975

But be aware if your trailer has surround sound speakers this unit does not have that option. Pretty much the only 12 volt multimedia unit that has 5.1 is the Concertone Genesis 3.0.

I have the 968 model with no HDMI video out but with the size screen your going to run in an RV its pretty hard to notice any kind of picture difference with HDMI.

The biggest upgrade I see on this 975 model is it puts out a lot more power. If the specs are correct, 48W peak on the 968 vs 132W peak on the 975.

Might be a worthwhile upgrade. Seems to be going for ~$230 online

My TH came with a single din unit for the radio and a separate dvd player. I plan to get a double din radio that plays dvd's in the future.

Ask Jaxclan, he has the best audio setup in a toyhauler, and it was not an option.

The system Rocks!!!

My 2015 32SAG came with the newer Jensen head unit with Bluetooth, but the TV they include only uses HDMI. So I can play movies with sound and no video.....I have emailed Eclipse about this issue. Just picked up the trailer a few weeks ago.

My Bose docking station is better than anything they offer as an upgrade, period.
