X2. I agree completely. We have been using a Bluetooth speaker for years. Much better.

These speakers are garbage. I want to replace mine also. This style is getting harder to find but probably for the reason that they are poor quality. I will replace them when I find a good upgrade without a lot of cutting. For now like gbaldwin bluetooth it is.

I was thinking about replacing ours with these Polk speakers from Amazon. However, I hadn't pulled the FR units and didn't realize they were that small. I assume you'd have to do some cutting to make the Polk speakers fit. The other thing with our TT is that one of the outdoor speakers is behind the TT door when it is hooked in the open position. We also frequently use a Sony BT speaker so we can have music near where we're sitting without cranking the TT stereo up to an annoying level.

Thanks for the replies. I am going with these. Exact replacement. Trying to decide between black or white. White tends to yellow over time but the old ones did not.

Please post up your impression of the speakers once you get them installed and try them out. I'm sure I'm not the only person that would like to know what you think!

Any 3" 4 ohm marine speaker will work. Just note that if you are powering them with something like an iRV66 they are only getting about 20 watts per speaker. Going with higher watt speakers will result in reduced volume and possibly distortion as you push the radio's amp harder to drive them.
