Adding outdoor speakers?

I have a Jay Flight SLX 287bhsw & would like to add an outside speaker or two. Has anyone done this? How hard is it?
Thanks

My Starcraft 14 R/T has two stereo speakers on the outside above my wheel well.. One of them started to sound a bit fuzzie. These use the weather proof marine type cones etc...

My kids introduced me to the very nice sounding BLUE TOOTH speakers with rechargeable batteries etc... Check them out on AMAZON... WALMART also carries a good line of portable speakers...

I have a blue Tooth transmitter module inside the trailer at the Home entertainment area and then I can run all around outside with the portable speaker setups and they all sound great...

In my case i also have alot of two way radio scanner type things I like to listen to when sitting around the outside patio area. These were perfect for those as well... I can plug into any phone jack on the audio ports inside the trailer and broadcast out to the blue tooth speakers... The ones I got are made by DELL and have an good 50-60 feet range around my trailer...

might look into those...

I put them in my trailer, not difficult. My factory radio already had provisions for a second set of speakers, all I had to do was wire them up.

The hardest part was finding a place to locate them (my trailer is small) where I would not hole saw through a metal wall joist or some wiring. They wound up in the back of storage spaces where I could drill several exploratory holes that wouldn't be noticed.

I agree with the bluetooth, I bought the JBL Charge 3 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, great sound, runs 20 hours per charge.
