Steve:
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what speaker you are talking about here. I
have a little speaker from Radio Shack that's about 1and a half to 2 inches
square in our current vehicle, and although it's nice and small, I don't
particularly like the quality of sound that comes out of it. There's not
much if any base response as you might expect, which is why I'm looking for
a replacement for it, and why I want something different in the motor home.
I guess I'm looking for speakers that come closer to those older 4-inch
square Radio Shack speakers I referred to yesterday.
