Anyone upgrade their interior and exterior speakers?
Mine sound very tinny.. very dull. Any recommendations on replacement? I'm assuming outdoor need to be marine grade?

The standard OEM speakers they typically install are super basic and super cheap and have awful frequency response. It's like 1950s technology. I replaced the interior ones in a previous TT with 6" (or so) 2-way ones and it was a huge improvement. (I still have the old ones if anyone wants them for the cost of shipping, lol.) Some nice 3-ways would be nice. Recess mounting depth should not be a problem, but if you have one of the new arched ceilings, the weight could be. KZ said they could not provide even LED puck lights in the 2014 models that have arched ceilings due to the weight. Speakers can be heavy.
Our TT has 4 speakers in the living/kitchen/dinette area. Not sure why they do that as 4 there aren't really much of a benefit. I'd rather have 2 there and another pair in the bedroom. Like many things, I don't think RV makers put a lot of thought into actual functionality and use of things.
One thing I don't like about exterior speakers is that sometimes they put them too close together to get a stereo sound. If I were to replace ours, they'd need to be much farther apart, and with a fiberglass exterior and sandwich type wall construction, that would be hard to do. And then there'd be the old speakers to decide what to do with.
