They are a weird size, 5" I think and very shallow. The sound quality is just TERRIBLE too! I replaced mine in my 2017 last year, couldn't handle to poor quality sound any more.....while I was at it, I replaced the head unit and the interior speakers too. I used a Kenwood head unit, Alpine 6.5" speakers for the inside and Kenwood 6.5" Marine speakers for the exterior. The OEM opening in the exterior wall is about 4.5 inches, had to enlarge that to 5.5" and also install some spacers since the wall cavity is not deep enough for better quality speakers that have larger magnets. The spacers I used were what is typically used in motorcycle fairing installs when moving up to larger speakers, they are 1" thick rings that mount between the speaker and the wall to move the speaker out a bit so it fits the shallow cavity.

Very simple install and a tremendous improvement in sound quality, never regretted it a bit.

I replaced the outside speakers on my Greyhawk with ones from Amazon. There aren't too many different sizes available in a "marine" type of speaker. I would recommend just pulling one speaker and measuring the cutout. That is what I did. The speaker will go back in the hole after you pull it so it shouldn't be a problem while you wait for a replacement.

Ours never sounded good and eventually I noticed they were falling apart. I bought a rechargeable Bluetooth speaker and use the iPhone with a Pandora app for music. It even works inside and the sound is pretty good. Back in the stick n brick we use it on our deck.

Call Crutchfield. They got me pointed in the right direction. I did a new Sony head unit and 5-1/2'' outside speakers. Needed a small 3/16'' thick spacer.

Jim. I looked at these exact speakers on Amazon but was afraid to order them because they say the cutout is 4.7". i measured 4.5" on my Whitehawk. Can you confirm you were able to install them without any modification to the trailer?
