This will be my next project in my 2019 Entegra Esteem 29V. The sound system is very poor. The subwoofer sounds like a kid beating on a tin drum. The front speakers are awful and the rears aren't much better. The head unit is hard to use, difficult to program and the GPS (tom tom) is almost useless. There is no Sirius capability. The only good thing is the Apple Play but the sound is just bad.
I'm thinking I'll upgrade the speakers. Add some tweeters that are missing. Then I'll replace the woeful subwoofer. Adding an amplifier would help a lot. Then I'll consider replacing the head unit with a better quality unit. The documentation that came with the RV was woefully inadequate. I have no idea of what Sony unit I have as that information is printed on the underside of the head unit. My dealer is useless to help.
Yeah, I have an Entegra Odyssey as well! I put 4 way Pioneer speakers in the front and back, they has the widest frequency range of any speaker out there for under $200. They sound GREAT and were less than $50 per set. As I mentioned, I put in sound deadening mat in the doors and it really cleaned up the sound too. I stayed w/ stock size speakers in the rear as they sit right where my cabinets open and anything larger, the grills touched an opening cabinet door.
I went w/ a middle of the road Jensen head unit, more power than stock and much easier to use, I wanted an old school knob to turn for the volume so I could make easy volume changes w/out taking my eyes off the road. That stock unit was a push button that worked only half the time it seemed like. Lots of choices for head units.
