You should have some buttons on your stereo to control which speakers are on.  They are probably listed as A, B, and C.  Try selecting B, the most likely button for outside.  C is likely not connected unless you have 3 sets of speakers.  Once you confirm the speaker control buttons, if it still doesn't work, it may be that the speaker wires are not properly connected at the speakers or at the radio.  Since the outdoor speakers are sealed with butyl putty, you may want to have some on hand, as well as some caulk, to reseal them if you need to remove them.

One of my inside speakers started sounding like it was blown out, so I removed it to take a look and found a 4 inch screw stuck to the magnet. It had been moving around and cut up the foam which fell into the speaker filling it up with foam. Cleaned it all out and it sounds great.

Is it just me?  Am I alone?  I abhor outdoor speakers, TV's and outdoor lights.

To each his own. I like to listen to the radio during the day outside of the RV, I like to watch my DVDs at night and I added motion sensity security lights to my RV, to tell me someone is outside and near:)

I like both and use both outdoor speakers and outdoor lights.

I also dislike having to listen to other camper's music choices  (always bad in my experience) and deal with the glare from their outdoor lights. Not my idea of a natural experience to say the least. Makes camping feel like living in an urban apartment block.  So, trying not to be a hypocrite, I don't blast my preferred music or use outdoor lights either. 

Of course, 90% of the other campers seem not to be bothered nor to care if they are bothering anyone, which is why I try to boondock in as isolated locations as I can. When I can't sometimes I'd like to have a directed beam EMP device (powered no doubt by podwerks' cold fusion energy source) with which to correct the problem. Evil Smile

As far as I'm concerned, if you can hear your speakers outside of your own campsite, they're turned up too loud.  If you want to have loud music/noise while camping, go somewhere where no one else will be bothered by it.  

As for bright lights, they have no place in campgrounds that are not already illuminated by some kind of "street lights."  The whole point of going to campgrounds without artificial lights is to enjoy the quiet darkness of the night.  It's one thing to turn on canopy/porch lights in an RV park already illuminated so well at night that you can read your cable television contract's small print, but quite another when you are in an un-illuminated Forest Service campground in the boondocks.  Just say'n.

Hooray! We leave in a few hours for Hope Valley's Forest Service Campground.  Spacious sites, quiet, darkness, beautiful location, and just over an hour away from home.  https://www.campendium.com/hope-valley-campground
