Looking to add tight, punchy bass in a small space? RV speakers in an 8 inch diameter are a smart fit for compact installs while boosting your overall sound. Options include amplified subwoofers that take an RCA signal from your stereo and use their own power and remote lead, so the soundbar isn't powering them. Verify you have an RCA output and plan for power, ground, and remote wiring.
Yes. Powered subs often include a 3-wire pigtail for power, ground, and remote, and you can cut to length and splice to the remote lead you already ran. Make clean, secure connections and confirm polarity. Route the wiring to avoid pinch points and abrasion.
Use the stereo's RCA audio outputs to feed the sub's RCA input, then wire power, ground, and remote on the sub's harness. Verify your stereo has RCA outputs on the rear. Refer to the wiring diagram for your unit so each lead is landed correctly before powering up.
Yes, an 8 inch sub can be a compact, durable upgrade with good sound that greatly improves the overall sound of a stereo system. Mount in a spot with ventilation and room for wiring. Secure it to a stable surface to reduce vibration. If space is tight, confirm the enclosure's dimensions before installing.
No. A powered 8 inch sub has its own built in amplifier and power connection, and the RCA cable from a soundbar or stereo shares audio only. Check that the sub is amplified, then run dedicated power, ground, and a remote wire. Use the RCA low-level port for the audio signal, not for supplying power.
