Welcome to our forum.
hymbaw, I will say this: I do have customers that hook up their I-Pod to the SpAudio and it is AWESOME! Customers do have that option. We may start giving out I-Pods with every SpAudio purchase. Some HS dealers have been doing that with great success.Terminator
Marquis system is similar to the Hot Springs ....the outdoor speakers are no more of an issue for sound regarding neighbors than pop ups are.
Except the pop-ups are 4" from your head so you dont have to have the volume as high which my neighbors would appreciate.
