[VAL] Adding a subwoofer

["Tom Williams" <TCWilliams@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to figure out the best 12 volt sound system for my '67 Airstream,
and am looking hard at a subwoofer & satellite speakers. Unfortunately, the
stuff in the Crutchfield catalog is more complicated than what I dealt with
back when I was more in to car stereo.

If I am reading the literature right, it appears that, for a given CD
player/AM-FM receiver, you can either wire two speakers directly into the
unit, or run the two preamp out plugs to another amplifier. The other
amplifier provides all amplification, and the bandpass necessary to operate
the subwoofer.

I could do that, but since I have no plans to crank it up in a campground &
drain my battery, I would just as soon skip the extra amplifier.

Can anyone recommend a decent head unit that will run two small speakers
plus a subwoofer?

Or, does anyone have a better approach to adding tunes using automotive
radio gear?

Thanks,
Tom
