Just be "aware" of the sub. One of the most irritating sounds in existence are the folks running around in 20 year old cars with a $50 sound system and a $200 sub thinking all the booming and buzzing is cool.
I used to be an audiophile and still am to so some degree; I appreciate music that has clarity and depth. An RV system isn't that kind of sound unless you replace it from start to finish....but back to the sub.
Our friends purchased a new, nice 5th wheel before meeting us in FL. We got everything set up and had a grand old time for a couple of days. Then, one morning boom, boom, boom. Told DW what have they got in there? Didn't know he was a rap kind of guy (turned out it wasn't rap - just the bass line)! I let it go. The next day...boom, boom, boom...about 8am. That was too much. I went over and asked if they would turn down the sound system and they did. Then, boom boom again. I went over and he told me he had turned it down but it was still "booming". Come to find out he had a sub and he had no idea what a "sub" was. He had to call and find out to shut it down but all was good after that.
All that to say, and I'm sure you already know, the low frequencies of a sub can really travel so to speak and become irritating to those around you if you aren't aware of what is going on.
