Outside speakers far quieter than inside
Hey guys-
Wondering if this is normal? I have 3 speaker button, 2 for interior zones and 1 for outside the outside ones are about 50% as loud as inside. Is there an adjustment anywhere by chance? I have the iRV 6500and the teardrop shaped speakers. Any help is appreciated!

Nope normal.
Your ears are much further from the outside speakers than the indoor ones. Plus the walls contain the sound inside making it appear louder.

Check the cones on the exterior ones. Mine were completely disintegrated from the weather but still made a bit of sound.

I noticed the outdoor speakers are much quieter than the inside ones on our trailer also.

Funny you should mention this. I was out camping this last weekend and I noticed when we ran the outside speakers only, they were actually louder inside than outside. Like was said, the outside speakers are further away, plus they are competing with a lot of outside sounds. Now if someone can tell me what the B speakers are supposed to do? Speakers A are inside and C are outside. B don't seem to do anything.

B should be the speakers over the bedroom or fifth wheel

The "B" button is for speakers in our bedroom. Of course we have the white hawk 28dsbh.

I agree, the outside ones are horrible. You almost have to double the volume level to hear them, even standing in front between the pair.

I haven't looked but they might have used different ohm speakers for inside and out. that could also cause this.
I was looking for good quality speakers to replace those and can really find any with flush mount housing. Most of the good marine speakers are designed to be sunk into a hole with only the grill cover being flush mounted.
Anybody find some?

On my 19RD the B speaker connectors have no wires. No bedroom speakers for us 'cheap seats' kinda folk.

It is in deference to all of your neighbors.
They don't necessarily have your taste in music.

But is that the responsibility of the manufacturer?
Just because I like Heavy Metal and my neighbor listens to that country crap is not Jayco's problem.
We'll settle it with rapiers at dawn!

Thanks for the info on the B speakers. I don't think I have bedroom speakers so I'll live with the A's and the C's. I've seen other posts about hooking the television through the speakers and that'll be a future project.

They don't like my truck's exhaust either. I guess that makes us even for their dog barking for an hour last Sunday morning @ 6am. In all seriousness, I don't always camp near enough to people for it to matter.

Really though, even if I DO like the music you're playing, I don't necessarily care to hear it coming from your camper. We will run the awning out to deflect the sound down into our campsite and keep the volume down really low; it works for us, and you can barely hear it (if at all) from outside our campsite...
To the original post; it's most annoying when you go back in the trailer and switch the channels back to the inside speakers and they're blaring when you could barely hear the music outside. I just got in the habit of turning the volume way down before I switch channels to the inside speakers; we don't use the outside speakers that much anyway.

Since we mostly boondock the 'quietness' of the outdoor speakers is desirable. Whatever is on inside at a nice level becomes little more than background music outside.
When the local background music is birdsong, leaves rustling and a waterfall 500' north-northeast, the radio doesn't get used much.

Fade or balance doesn't seem to effect the exterior as compared to interior.
And I always keep neighbors in mind! But if it's realistic I'd like a little more sound.
I'd also like some better replacements for outside too. The j terror don't sound bad but the exterior leave something to be desired.
