Speaker problem with new 233S

[Jim_74]

Just brought our 2020 233S home this weekend. I thought I was paying attention during the PDI, but either I missed that the front inside speaker wasn't working or it happened during the trip home. Either way, I'm not pulling it 6 hours back to the dealer to have them fix it, and I don't really want to pay a deductible for a warranty repair locally already. Normally I would just drop the speaker and/or pull the iRV62 unit and check wiring, but this is our first brand new trailer. Is it likely just a wiring issue that will be easy to fix, like I'm thinking, or should I just take it to a local dealer?

Thanks.

Are there multiple zones? If yes, are they all turned on? Should have separate on/off for each zone.

I believe its just 2 zones. Indoor and Outdoor. Both outdoor speakers work. The indoor zone, only the back speaker works. Tried playing with the balance, but that wasn't the problem.

Check the balance and fade on the stereo. They might have inadvertently been shifted to left or right or front or back. The one thing you find is who knows what they wire the speakers to on these things. People have differing experiences.

Checked the balance setting, that didn't fix it. I'll see if it has a fade option. If not, I'll probably just drop the speaker and take a look.

On my 24ws I have 3 zones: front inside speaker, Rear inside speaker and outdoor, labeled 1, 2, and 3 on the radio. Not sure if yours has that or not but mine does.

Turns out it was the wiring behind the entertainment unit. Dropped the speaker first and checked there. When that didn't work, I pulled the unit and tightened where the speaker wires splice into the harness. That did the trick. Thanks for the input everyone.

Since you are messing with the sound system, the next step is to replace the speakers. The speakers that come in these things are garbage poop. Went down to my local car stereo shop and bought some low end speakers on sale for 60 bucks for a pair, and while they don't sound amazing, they sound WAY better than the junk that came from the factory.

The outside speakers sound better than the original inside ones, but one of these days I would like to replace them.

I agree on replacing the speakers I have become a fan of Alpine speakers. It seems they have pretty good sound even in a small size. A subwoofer also makes an amazing difference.

I noticed while I had the speaker down, that it said 65w on the back. I thought, "that doesn't sound like a 65w speaker". But they will likely do for now. The outside speakers do sounds a little better.
