Boss ATV22C 6.5-Inch 450W Amplified Marine Waterproof Speaker Tweeter System : VMInnovations.com

OK, lets get a couple of things straight. That speaker system is NOT 450 watts. They are lying, plain and simple. If you look at the gauge wire they are using to supply the amplifier with, it is not heavy enough to supply the current required for a 450 watt speaker system.

On Edit: I just checked the manual. The fuse is a 10 amp fuse, and the spec is 7 amp max power draw. That would mean the amplifier is good for probably about 15 to 20 watts per channel, which is probably plenty loud enough to play in a camp ground.

Now to answer your question. The speaker system you have linked to is an amplified system. This means that anything will drive it, because the speakers are driven by their own amp. So when you are using as a source is irrelevant. Notice the case. This is designed to take a feed from an Ipod. So pretty much any headphone output would supply it.

your phone will work. I don't know if an aux out has enough gain to achieve maximum level that the amp can put out. Headphone level is slightly louder than line level (aux). The problem is that we have no idea how the gain structure is set up on a unit like this. What we do know is that ANYTHING with a headphone output will work fine.

Johnny, Those look to be 12v powered speakers which would require adding a 12v outlet.

Just a thought....have you thought of taking a picture of the current speakers and taking that to one of the "boom box" shops and see what kind of ground shaking speakers they have that would fit?

Here's a suggested alternative that you can bluetooth from your phone or plug a cord in from the coach tv or radio. I've use this ... sounds GREAT ... very rugged ... nice size for a lot of quality volume. It is available with a black or an orange grill.

To be honest, we have not used our coach enough to be familiar with the outside entertainment center. Ir's been in shops more than trips. Hopefully that is coming to an end soon.
