dunefreak Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 It's time. In fact, it has been time for many years as you can see by the pics. My outside speakers have been blown for years and the factory China CD/DVD/radio/TV tuner/coffee maker piece of crap has been working off and on and required a good punch in order for any sound to come out of it. Then when it did work, the volume controls would sometimes not. It was very frustrating so I've had a Kenwood receiver and speakers being used in the meantime. Well that's annoying because I have to run the generator if I want tunes. Not only that it was a mess of wires and I am over it all. Time to get with the program and install something from this decade. The China CD/DVD/radio/TV tuner/coffee maker piece of crap. Note the tape that is holding the DVD door closed. lol To cover the giant that the old unit occupied, I cut a piece of aluminum and wrapped it in Weddle swag for now. It's temporary until I decide what to do with it, but I kinda like it. lol Then I installed a Pioneer deck. Technology has come a long ways over the past few years. For not much money, this thing came with Bluetooth to sync to my phone to listen to Spotify, XM, mp3s, Pandora, etc. Then it also has a USB port that allows for a flash drive mp3 input and it has a mixer built in. I installed an audio cable to the front AUX jack for the TV/DVD audio so I can make use of the speakers when watching movies or whatever. The outside speakers were toast...literally. The sun had baked them beyond crispy. I replaced them with some Pioneer 6-1/2's. Nothing fancy but they sound damn good. New speakers Quote

BearsZX72 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Sweet! Looking good! Crank those tunes! Quote
ngoodey Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Are you able to change the speakers still or are they all on all the time? Quote
White Rhino Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 All you'd have to do is wire zone a to the front. And zone b to the rear. Change them like that. Quote
dunefreak Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Are you able to change the speakers still or are they all on all the time? Yes it still utilizes the IN/OUT speaker switch. Quote
Sticky Dipstick Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Pete; we have 4 new 6 1/2" All weather speakers you can have if you have an additional need. We went to larger speakers the day we bought it and kept the stock speakers. They're yours if you want them. - Alice Quote
