We are trying to figure out how to drive to channels worth of speakers in an RV. Channel "A" is in the cab area (4 speakers)and Channel "B" is in the coach area (4 speakers. How is this normally done? What do you recommend for hardware that ca play a CD, is IPOD compatible and has a bluetooth interface??

Answer
Bob,  There are many aftermarket stereos out there today that have the options you are wanting.  I would recommend Alpine stereos over any other, but you should be able to find many that handle cds, ipod, and bluetooth.

As far as the switching from cab to cabin, they make channel switches that you can select group "A" speakers or group "B" speakers or group "C" speakers, etc.  Some switches are manual pushbutton and some are totally electronic with remote control.  Do a search for "speaker selector switch" and you should find what you are looking for.

Hope this helps, Scott
