Speakers produce uneven sound.

We have a 2014 Fleetwood Shamrock 233 S. LOVE this camper, but curiously the stereo system has switches to turn speakers on and off. One does one inside, another does the other inside and the last turns on the outside.
If you would like inside and outside on at the same time, you have to blast the inside speakers to get anything usable to come out of the outside speakers. Is this proper?
The stereo is a Genesis system.

And folks wonder why I live WAY south of the border.

2, 4, 8, and 16-ohm speakers do not play well together.

When my neighbor gets carried away on Saturday Night

Oom Pah Oom Pah, Rattle (of drums) and caterwauling that sounds like a coyote with it's ---- caught in a barbed wire fence...

0500 Sunday Morning...Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" speakers pointed uphill at 120 db.


"Ooooooo let's discuss Generators!"

57 posts follow moaning, whining and cajoling. Oooooo they missed reading the art about the nearest neighbor being 5-miles distant.

"Oooooo let's discuss porch lighting!"

39 posts follow, moaning about night time light pollution

"Oooooo let's discuss traveling!"

"Don't park next to me if it's a diesel! Can't you get someone to town you out the front gate with a rope?

All the B.S. of suburbia crammed into crackerbox parking. You couldn't PAY ME to RV north of the border. I don't see why manufacturers install windows. The instant a rig parks, the drapes get pulled. Don't want the neighbors auditing the contents, you know.

I remember one park in Washington. 0600 I reached into a side compartment and extracted a dipstick. Someone ran over and said "No working on rigs in the park!" I waved the dipstick at her and said "This is a very very long dipstick". She ran. Smart woman.

Because folks don't like ANY incidendtal noise and especially other's choice in music.

Related but slightly off topic: PLEASE be aware of when you have your outside speakers on! We were parked near a family that must have had an XBox attached to theirs. Hours of fighting and dying at a pretty high volume. We were just at the edge of range but there were many parked closer. Not sure why they didn't say anything...

Got nothin at all to do with connections. This is a difference in efficiency of each speaker set expressed in SPL (Sound Pressure Level) for a given input . I'll bet they aren't identical are they ?

The cure may be to replace the outside speakers with ones that are more efficient. In the mobile audio world, speakers that are rated 1W @ 90+ db will be about as efficient as you can buy.

KISS! Start from the beginning. Burnish ALL of the connections and I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts your problem goes away. And please avoid sharing your impeccable entertainment choices with others.

Common and expensive to fix. You need a low signal input to an auxilliary amplifier which would have it's own volumne control knob for the outside speakers. Make sure the speaker impedence is correct for the amp.
