I replaced the stock speakers, had to do some modifications but did improve the front sound a lot. ]]> Mon, 09 Feb 2015 14:29:55 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=56506#56506 Replacing the Interior Speakers : Thanks.

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.]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2014 21:17:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54916#54916 Replacing the Interior Speakers : One speaker in our 178 sounded... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54914#54914 Author: Sleepless

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.]]> Fri, 12 Dec 2014 20:58:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54914#54914 Replacing the Interior Speakers : Understood, nothing worse than... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54847#54847 Author: Podster

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. ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2014 08:36:40 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54847#54847 Replacing the Interior Speakers : I truly don't know, but I'd... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54846#54846 Author: gkooris

I truly don't know, but I'd rather get some better sound.

I assumed the low power amps in RVs were intentional to help conserve battery power when boon-docking.

Are they just cheap?]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2014 21:14:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54838#54838 Replacing the Interior Speakers : I'm thinking of going to... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54834#54834 Author: gkooris

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.

It's the speakers that are so bad. Your outside ones are even cheaper and worse. I've seen them swapped out a few times, mostly on the outside but there was someone a few weeks ago re doing the entire inside entertainment system with all kinds of new better things.]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2014 19:17:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54828#54828 Replacing the Interior Speakers : We just took delivery of our 2015... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=54827#54827 Author: gkooris

We just took delivery of our 2015 179. My only real complaint is the sound quality of the speakers. I don't know if it's the Jensen system or the speakers, but I've got to believe those speakers could do with an upgrade. Has anyone replaced theirs?

Thanks,

Geoff in CT
