Dear all,
I am trying to build a decent audio system for our campervan conversion (2008 Citroën Jumper (Relay I believe).
At first, I was hoping to install 6 speakers (L/R doors, all corners of the 'living area') - but I think that would be overkill. I'm looking for quality sound, not ear-smashing sound. So I think 4 speakers (2 door, 2 in the back) will do.
This is what I had in mind.
Door speakers:
I have read good reviews of this Eton speaker component set https://www.eton-gmbh.com/en/produc...geotcitroendodge-upgrade/product/ug-fiat-f22/ . Impedance 3 Ohm, 'music power' (= RMS??) -> 80 W. No mentioned recommended minimum amplifier power.
Back speakers:
And for the 2 speakers in the back, I was thinking of these https://www.rockfordfosgate-store.nl/rockford-fosgate-p1683. 65W RMS per speaker, 4Ohm impedance, recommended power range: 10-70 Watts RMS per channel.
Head Unit:
Since I want to replace the headunit anyways (to get Bluetooth, aux, and such). I have room only for single Din. I was hoping that a 4 channel car radio would suffice for the speakers mentioned above. Often it says: 4x50Watts. But rarely do I see RMS values.
For instance, this Pioneer: https://www.pioneer-car.eu/eur/products/deh-x7800dab/support. If you download the user manual, it says 'maximum power output: 50W x 4', and 'Continuous Power Output: 22W x 4'. Does the latter mean RMS power? If so, would that suffice for the speakers mentioned above? Or do you recommend another 1-Din headunit. Or is an external amplifier necessary?
Very grateful for any imput and recommendations! Kind greetings from The Netherlands.
