Jayco Speakers/ roof top aircon

[Burnsy]

Hi all,

Was wondering how the speakers Jayco install sound when given a bit of volume, can they handle a bit of volume or do they break down? Do they have a decent sounding base? Would like to have them installed if we order a new van but havn't heard them before. Also about roof top aircon Coleman or Ibis? How does the Coleman go?

Thanks
Burnsy.

We find the speakers sound really good. Decent bass and clarity.. Only if you crank hard with full bass it sounds a little crackly, but that is an exeption. The outdoor ones are not as bassy but sound ok.

Cant answer the air con but the standard Heron one is ok...

Hi Burnsy If your like me and a bit fussy with sound quality maybe get Jayco to run the wires to where you want them and add your own speakers , I've just fitted some Pioneer 6 x 9's and a Sony Car DVD in mine and they sound just marvellous, maybe a little under powered but hey, I can alway add an Amp ! Sorry can't help with the Aircon ours is a wall mounted one the heater works great on it but found the cool side a little lacking on a stinker of a day

Good question about the speakers. I've already ordered mine so I guess I'll find out. I notice they are under the dinette in the 2012 model, not at the rear bed end. It seems a little strange to me. They are at your feet when watching TV and very close together (not good for stereo?)
I guess one could replace with better speakers. Has anyone bothered to do this? What about as sub?
:lalala:

Although I've ordered speakers inside and out, we normally dont have TV or music when camping. We like the 'serenity'. In fact, it is one of my big gripes when people rock up and start blaring music throughout the camp site. I dont mind them having fun, but the thing is that EVERYONE has to listen to the music, whether they like it or not. Am I getting old?

Hey Burnsy
We have the 18ft with the speakers inside and out, they sound great outside even turned up a fair way. Inside one is above the dining table and the other down near the bunks so doesn't sound the best inside. My outside ones seem to have better base than the inside ones.

We have the coleman air con and find it a bit load but works very well. Had 42 in Mt Isa the other day and it worked a treat.

Cheers

oh for sure!!.... I am just working on a new setup.... Using a Laptop plugged into the stereo, a wireless router (12v) Itunes and a Iphone with an app called "remote" I can have like a juke box, where people can make selections and everything including volume can be adjusted via the Iphone from anywhere within wireless range. I might be camping by myself yet.

Agree with Stuart, the speakers inside are crap, very little bass and clarity not great. The outdoor speakers are much better, when they are on at least you get some bass inside the van, sod the neighbours - only joking. Outdoor are good and replace inside speakers on list of things to do.

Thanks for the input guys, I do like my music and quality sound!

Cheers.
