Car Stereo Replacement in RV Problems
Hi all :) Our Mirada had a Jensen Car Stereo installed in an outside compartment. It worked great but started acting flaky and died. We picked up a cheap Pioneer to replace it. The wiring is reall...

My guess is the original radio was low power two channel type and had built in fader control. Since your outside radio has only two speakers it does not need fader control. So in order to hear sound from both speakers in any position of fader control they connected output for front and rear speakers together on both left and right channels. This is commonly done and is OK.
Most radios today are high power BTL type with four separate amplifier outputs and built in fader control. None of the speaker output wire connections are grounded and MUST NOT be grounded. Each speaker has to have separate twin line.
There are just too many different scenarios and all depends on a particular model off the radio you have.
The instructions that come with a radio tells you what you have and how to wire it.
Your speakers might be shorted but also may not be-depends on the meter you used.
Good luck
