Run dash radio output through coach home theater system
Does anyone know of a way to run my dash radio output through my coach speaker systen. I have two sets of speakers, one for the dash radio and a surround system for my home theater system which has much better sound. Is there a way to connect my radio though the home theater system so I can take advantage of the better speakers.

If your radio and coach home theater system both have a sound in an out you can use din cables check Amazon for the cables that you can use buy the gold tap ones they work best. Hope that helps

Can you take it to a shop that does car audio? They should be able to make it work. I don't know if you can get all of the surround sound speakers to work, but 2 for sure is possible. On my coach, the dash radio feeds the 2 surround speakers in the cab area.

"RangerRick" and "More-Gas"-
What models of dash radios and home theater units do you have in your coaches?

No.
It's possible but sound quality will be horrible.

Ideally, the radio supports low level signal outputs. These would go to the Low level signal Inputs on the surround receiver as a new source.
If the radio only supports speaker level, then you can get an inexpensive adapter device to convert to low level signal. These aren't the best in sound quality, but will still likely sound better than standard speakers.

List the model numbers of the radio and the surround receiver to double check how to do this.

It might be less hassle in the long run to just add an extra radio to the surround sound system.
