Gearbox Stereo Controls

Hi all, new to the forum. I'm hoping some gearbox owners out there can help me out...

I just purchased a '07 Gearbox 335, and when the seller went through it with me he really couldn't explain the stereo to me. I understand stereos well enough, but I was trying to figure out how to switch the speakers inside to outside or both. Currently all 4 inside speakers and the 2 outside speakers are always on. Is there a way to control which are on?

Not sure the model, but it is a Kenwood stereo. It has an additional junction box for the TV/DVD sound.

FWIW, I did look through the manual, but didn't see anything that clearly described what I'm looking for.

Thanks for any help you may be able to give!

My gearbox has a switch near the entrance door cluster panel of switches for the inside/outside lights, bed lift, etc. that turns on and off the outside speakers. I bought a new radio with and a,b, and c speaker option. I put two inside speakers on A, two other inside speakers on B and the outside two on C. I then disabled the switch from fleetwood.

That's not an easy question. Some rigs come with wiring for outdoor speakers or even have the speakers installed, but the wiring isn't connected to the head unit. So the functionality of the controls could depend on the goof who wired it up. I wired mine so that the fader would control the inside/outside levels. The only problem with this is that I can't fade between the front bedroom and the kitchen because I had to connect ALL of the inside speakers together.

Typically the fader control is what adjusts inside and outside speakers. Most are wired with front inside and rear outside.
