Better outdoor speakers?

I have a 2020 KQB30SS and the outdoor speakers are awful. Zero bass at all. I want to replace them. Anyone have any recommendations on a replacement that is the same size and also has blue LED lights?

Attached is a picture of the speakers that came with the camper. Awful...

Were the replacements better than the originals? These work, they just suck.

There are some threads about members upgrading the speakers. Just do a search using the search link at the top of the page.

A lot of people don’t bother trying to upgrade the speakers and just go with a Bluetooth speaker or two.

Bluetooth speakers are a great idea but they do need separate power sources. Even if it's a rechargeable battery, if you are a hard core boondocker it's going to be an additional power user on your 12 v system. Not bad if you can charge during the day when Solar Power is available but if you listen to the music all day--------

When I upgraded our speakers (we had the same junkers you have) I used a pair of 6" MB Quart marine speakers for the outside units. I did have to enlarge the holes, but that was easy, just made a template and used a jigsaw to cut the hole bigger. I also had to cut a hole in the back of the kitchen cabinets for the magnets to protrude into... which was a little bit of a challenge, but the results were worth the effort. The Quarts sound wonderful.



I think MB Quart has lighted speakers, and they might have sizes that don't require enlarging the holes. Thumbs up for the MB Quart speakers, I highly recommend them.
