Can anyone tell me what kind of connection this is?
Can anyone tell me the name of this connection. I think it's a exterior speaker connection. If so what's the name so I can find a speaker that works. I've had no luck.

These are indeed RCA connectors colored in the basic audio L/R configuration. While typically used for high impedance "line" outputs they have been used in the past for low impedance speaker connection. These connectors are often found as speaker connectors on "low-fi" or bargain stereo sets. They are not the best for speaker connection because they are not really large enough for 18-14 ga. wire or the transfer of enough current to drive speakers well. Speakers do not need shielded cables either, so the connector is probably being chosen more for convenience (plug and play) in this instance. They will meet your needs for speaker connection as long as the output is actually a low impedance amplified audio signal. RCA jacks are often repurposed to other uses so be careful with whatever you connect. Measuring the voltage between the tip and ring should tell you whether it is amplified or not.
