Changing Stock Speakers In White Hawk

My brother has a new 28dsbh and was curious about upgrading the stock speakers.

Any ideas on what speakers might fit? It's probably just the indoor speakers, not the outdoor ones.

I remember reading a couple of threads dealing with changing out the stock speakers. It didn't appear to be a difficult mod. If I remember correctly, they used polk speakers.

I replaced the stock speakers in mine with the Polk Audio speakers mentioned by others. However I would suggest you take one of the speakers down and measure the opening and the speaker. In my unit the 6.5" Polks fit in the existing cutouts other than I had to trim a little but nothing substantial. You will need to buy what will fit in the existing opening unless you want to do a lot of modification. YMMV

How do you pull the speakers down? I have ceiling mounted speakers in my home and I have a little tool that you stick into the holes of the speaker cove to pull it off. I tried using the tool in the TT but the speaker cover looks to be sitting between the roof and the circular outisde speakr thing,

How do I go about getting it off?

The stock speakers in my Jayco were removed by twisting the grill counter clockwise and they just dropped off. Then there were four screws holding the speakers in the ceiling. The new speakers mounted wih the four screws going through the grill AND speaker to attach to the ceiling.

The speakers in my older Jayco were 6.5" and I replaced them with Infinity car speakers and replaced the head unit with a Pioneer, the stereo sounds way better now and I have an iPod jack.

Hmm, I just tried to give two of the grills and twist and nothing budged.

once again some where here is a thread dealing with the difficulty in getting the covers off. It may be the same thread I read about the polk speakers. Perhaps a search may reveal more on the subject. Good luck.

OK, we were finally able to get the speaker grille off. Turning it did nothing at all. The speaker grills are just kind of snapped around the outside of the speaker so it just takes enough leverage and pulling to pull them down. Then there are about 3 speakers holding the speaker to the ceiling. We haven't touched that yet since we were pressed for time.

Polk Speakers

So these speakers will fit? The 6.5" size just seems like it would be too big to replace the stock speakers. I havne't measured anything, it just sounds big.

Worked in my unit. Personally I would take down a speaker and measure before I bought any. YMMV

Sounds good, thanks. I'm assuming you no longer have the stock speaker grill anymore, you'd have to use whatever came with the new speakers?

No I used the silver grills that came with the new speakers. If I had thought about it before I installed the new speakers I would have spray painted the new silver grills white before I installed them. Live and learn. BTW I did have to trim a couple of the openings a little to make the new speakers fit. Nothing tough I just used a sharp utility knife to enlage the hole in a couple of places.

^^^I ran standard 6.5" Infinity car speakers and they fit fine, no trimming required.^^^

My covers snaped off, used a butter knife. Using the new covers that came with the speakers.

$20.00 is more my speed......but most important - how do they sound? A mild improvement?... noticeable improvement?....mind-blowing improvement?

$20 isn't a lot of money - but it's probably 4X more than the stock speakers cost.
