Upgrading the exterior speakers.

I'm looking at upgrading the lousy exterior speakers and upgrading them from 5 1/4 to 8 inch marine grade speakers. The problem I have is that the new speakers are too deep, so it looks like I will have to cut out a hole on the interior wall and build a small box and waterproof it to cover the backside of the speaker (luckily both will be in a cabinet). Is there any reason why I should not do this? Thanks.

Well, in my WW there is already a factory cut out and box made on the inside of the TH for the speakers. So can't see a problem if you have to make one yourself. Obviously, just do a quality job, since there will probably be a lot of vibration in and around that box.

My speaker boxes are not inside a cabinet and are trimmed out with the same wall board as the rest of the inside of TH and look fine, don't even notice them. In fact took me months till I even noticed them and figured out what they were... lol

Love the 'Heads up'
Let's see if it helps. :)

I would keep looking. Surely there are some speaker options that would not require cutting through the interior walls.

Heads up to to those that may come to comment from outside the Toy Hauler group, please realize many of the Toy Hauler owners do not camp in campgrounds, they are out in the middle of the desert camping with miles between other campers. So before you make issues about loud music etc. know that unless you go with them camping, you'll probably never hear them.

Some of my friends in our group have done this and more, the sound.systems they have for us to enjoy are awesome to say the least...

So when we all Kamp we have great music with clean, clear sound and deep bass....

Check out Jaxclan " Marks " system if you can someday...

I installed Sony Marine 200w and they are crystal clear. Love them.
