The DW informed me one of the speakers on the exterior of the RV is rattling while audio is playing. I assume they are a Jensen brand speaker that matches the stereo unit inside.I priced the Jensen RV speakers and they are really inexpensive. So, the question is: Should I buy the inexpensive speakers and replace them every few years (potentially)?orDo I look for a better quality set of outside speakers?I am not an audiophile and do not have any amp or subwoofer needs. I am just looking for a decent sound while working or playing outside the RV.Thoughts?dh

Pull the old speaker out, measure it then go to Crutchfield or Amazon and find a marine grade speakerto replace it. Marine grade speakers hold up better to moisture and should last longer.

A good quality speaker, particularly a marine speaker should last for years. Crutchfield is excellent. Another source is rocktheboatmarinestereo.com.Jensen is pretty much the bottom of the barrel as far as "name brands" go.

Get a set of portable blue tooth speakers. Those mounted outside an RV will always be tinny and get weathered effected....21st Century solution.

X2 on marine grade. I see you are fairly new on here so hold on for the posts about you disturbing the peace and quiet with outside speakers and you better change your name as Harley’s are loud and not appropriate for camping (the noise police) which includes generators or even some children.

I'd rather not have to drill new holes in the fiberglass if I don't have to.dh

Oh, the campground I stay at is not too bad with the noise police. The kids that run around the campground yelling and screaming and crying... I wish I could "turn the volume down" on that program.

At any rate, I will research some marine grade speakers and see what I can come up with.
