Outside Speakers
Well the Creek Side just turned 6 years old and the outside speaker have seen better days. Anyone out there have success on finding replacement speakers? It would be nice to upgrade them for better sound quality since they will be getting replaced.

I don’t have any outside speakers on mine.. no need.. Bose speaker with extra battery, able to recharge over night, WAY better sound than marine/ rv speakers...plus all the music off my phone...I can use it in my back yard around the campfire. No extra holes cut into trailer. I’m sure other will chime in on what they have or replaced with.

You can look here. Just stick to good name brands. Alpine, JBL, and the like.

Looks like mounting depth is going to be the issue. Less than 2"

Somewhere here there's a thread where someone replaced them with compatible size speakers from Polk Audio.

LBZYA,
If your speakers happen to be mounted directly outside the bathroom like ours are, it would be a really bad idea to test the volume of the new ones while someone is taking a shower. Don't ask me how I know.

One of our outside speakers quit awhile back. No plans to replace it as we like the sound from the portable Bose speaker better.

Might want to check them out. I actually found that the surrounds of the speakers to be broken. No signs of water damage probably because I keep the trailer inside.

The center cone on the outside speakers has freed itself and needs to be replaced. Has anyone seen angle adapters to tilt the speakers slightly downward and more toward the campsite instead of the great beyond?
