Hi all,
New to the forum and to RVing. Bought our 2022 GD 17MKE a few months ago and have only taken a couple trips so far.
One of the parts of the TT that has been disappointing is the stereo system. It has the Furrion DV7200S head unit, two iRV 3-WS speakers (6.5", I believe) in the ceiling and two external speakers, which appear to be the RecPro RP-1092-2 5.25" surface mount, on the outside of the trailer. The sound quality inside is OK, but outside is not good and the Bluetooth range on the Furrion head unit is awful. I am looking to replace the whole system and wondered if anyone else has done this and what you used. I have limited space to mount the head unit in the cabinet where it is currently mounted, so many of the "RV Stereo Systems" are just too big. The mounting hole for the current setup is only about 3.25" square.
I have done a fair amount of research, and am leaning towards replacing the Furrion DV7200S with a marine stereo designed for boats. They are small and have enough power to drive some decent speakers without adding an amp. The only drawback is that most are not dual zone, but they support 4 speakers so I would use the fader function to control volume between the inside and outside of the TT.
Replacing the inside speakers should be pretty easy, but I am looking for some input on the outside speakers. I have not taken these off yet, because they have some sealer around the speaker where it connects to the side of the trailer. I believe they are the RecPro RP-1092-2 speakers (shown below), but that is based only on finding a similar looking speaker on the web. Has anyone had these off or replaced them with another speaker? I am guessing the speaker inside is a custom size, so the whole unit will need to be replaced, but if I can replace just the speaker, that would be ideal.
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks,
Al
