Recommended RV Stereo With 3-Zones, 8 Speakers and Sub-Woofer

Published 04/26/2022

Question:

I have an Arcrtic Fox 2016 25Y travel trailer. I want to replace my broken iRV technologies 33 series. 1. My original wiring connecting plug is actually 2 separate plugs. One plug consists of 4 connecting pins of which 2 of those pins supply the power of the red 12V DC and the black pin is the ground. 2. My other original connecting plug has a total of 14 connecting pins. I have 3 separate speaker zones. One zone has 4 speakers and the other two zones have only 2 speakers each. What connectors would I need and can DV 1230 BL power my 8 speakers? Could I add a sub woofer or a sound bar in the future? Thanks

Yes, the Furrion RV Stereo, # DV1230BL does have a connection for a subwoofer and a 3-Zone output. But only allows for up to 6 speakers to be connected. While this will not be a plug and play install mating to your current connectors, it has easy to follow installation instructions and wiring schematic.

I recommend the Jensen RV Stereo, # JWM60A that is also a 3-Zone output but allows for up to 8 speakers to be connected. But you would need to use an external amplifier to drive the sub-woofer unless it is self-amplified.
