I replaced the stock speakers, had to do some modifications but did improve the front sound a lot.

Thanks. Our connections are fine, I checked them. Basically, sound is very much personal taste. I'd like ours to have more midrange and bass, so in going to make some changes.

One speaker in our 178 sounded horrible. I removed the speaker grille and found a very loose connection of one of the wires to the speaker. After tweaking the connector with pliers, the sound was great.

Understood, nothing worse than the constant nag of poor audio. Interesting, my stock setup actually sounds OK. Good luck! Let us know how it works out and anything learned during the process.

I truly don't know, but I'd rather get some better sound. My speakers sound like soup cans attached to a transistor radio

I assumed the low power amps in RVs were intentional to help conserve battery power when boon-docking.
Are they just cheap?

I'm thinking of going to the more powerful Jensen system, the 975?, and getting some decent surface mount speakers from Crutchfield, most likely Polk. I'm going to replace the exterior ones as well. The newer Jensen has 108 watts as opposed to the 48 there now, and HMI as well. Might get a new screen.

Keep us up to date what you went with. There's not much room in the ceiling for bigger speakers.
I think we'll just take our Bose sound link portable speaker with us on camping trips.
