WOW-what a deal!!
I am a 70 year old novice and want to upgrade my RV unit which is a cheap Panasonic CQDP103U unit with 4 1/2 inch cheap ceiling speakers. Could you suggest replacement speakers to use with the Eclipse and if possible, 2 additional speakers of the same size and 2 speaker enclosures so I can place them on a bookcase or wherever?
Thanks!JAS

Dear J.,
I would take a look at the Pioneer TS-G1042R, they’re are a great replacement speaker. They are 4″ (we don’t have any 4 1/2″ speakers). Not a very common size. As far as some you can use to put on a shelf, we only have boxes that hold 6″ x 9″ speakers. I included link at the bottom so you can check everything out. If you have any more questions let me know.

Our enclosures for speakers

And a pair of 6″ x 9″ I think would go with the rest of your system
