Any recommendations on replacement? I'm assuming outdoor need to be marine grade?
Polk makes decent speakers, and their car audio speakers are marine certified. They aren't too expensive either. Most car audio stuff you'll see is pretty low end in the speaker world, but then again you're not recreating theater quality sound, you're just looking for a decent upgrade. You can spend a few grand on just speakers, a set of polks will suit you well and be affordable. I believe they even make low profile speakers to fit in tighter areas.
Don't buy anything bose, absolute garbage for the price. Low end equipment at a premium price...
I second the Polk Audio suggestion (and as a musician for the past 50+ years, you don't want to know what musicians say about Bose...). Anyway, I replaced the interior ceiling speakers in our unit with Polk Audio coaxials. They don't change the quality of the output from the cheap stereos they put in RVs - nor will you get impressive bass response from a 5-1/2" speaker, but they are quite an improvement over the really cheap speakers that came in the travel trailer. The highs are good enough that my aging ears can actually understand the dialogue in a DVD movie and hear the cymbals and "S" sounds in music. I spent about $60 on-line. (I don't use the outside speakers, so didn't bother.)
