After receiving Joshua's feedback, we looked up his order and found that his speakers are still under warranty. While his order is beyond Crutchfield's 60-day return policy, he can contact PowerBass at 909-923-3868 for further information about the 1-year warranty on these speakers.

Upgrade ti factory RV speakers.

Gary from Lexington, NC on 6/21/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

These are great replacement speakers. I replaced Jenson factory speakers on our RV with these and sound is far better. As others have mentioned not a deep base but you need to look on how they are being used. Very easy to install. The only con is the outer grill dies not fit flush against the RV. Between supplied seal and existing sealant, there is no chance of any leakage. The flush mount is only cosmetic and would not even be noticed by most people. I would highly recommend.

Nic from Oshkosh, WI on 4/24/2022

Verified employee review (What's this?)

You get what you pay for. I did not expect much bass, (despite the name), due to the size of the speaker, and there is not much. Sound quality is decent as long as you don't push them too hard.

Boat swim deck speaker

Crutchfield customer from Colgate, WI on 9/3/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Nice opening size for a 5 1/4 speaker. Don't want too big of a hole in the back of boat typically. Performs well for its Rms rating. Clear highs on the tweeter and fair mids and lows. (I am technically over powering it with the amp I have but have seen no issues) Not a shatterer by any means but nice sound, and for the aluminum grille construction and marine rating I expect it to do well in the high abuse area its mounted in. The price for this value can't be beat.

Pros: Price, aluminum grille, two way

Cons: Steel frame may rust over time and exposure... too bad it's not aluminum

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I got these to replace the outside speakers on my fifth wheel trailer. They sound good, for the price they are an excellent outdoor speaker.

Pros: Fit original opening using a spacer to make room for the large magnet, the sound is as good as can be expected in an outside mounted speaker

Cons: None

Good value of sound for the price. I have used better sounding speakers but at a higher price. They have good sound for the cost and are a good choice for an affordable system for a boat.

Work great for my RV (Travel trailer)

Crutchfield customer from Menomonee Falls, WI on 6/14/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Put these in my 2011 Keystone passport (238ML). They are at least 5 times better than the factory installed ones. They fit perfectly.I did have to cut off trailer wire terminals and put on the included terminals. Much more bass, and of course the 2 way speakers have much more definition in highs and mid-range. Black and white covers to choose from are nice. Although the tweeters are black, and the white covers look a little funny with black tweeters in the center. Included SST screws are nice upgrade... wish the trailer MFG's used them.

Pros: Sound quality

Cons: None

Sounds awesome. Worth every penny. Recomend to anyone.

Pros: Clear sound and easy wiring.

If you are looking for better camper speakers, stop here.

Crutchfield customer from Medina, OH on 4/6/2020

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Purchased these to replace the terribly cheap exterior speakers on my Jayco toy hauler. I used the 3/16'' spacer also purchased from Crutchfield and install took 15 minutes. Sealed the perimeter of the speaker with silicone. The speakers sound great and are very clear even at maximum volume. An upgrade in every way.

Pros: Great sound, ease of install and bang for the buck.

Cons: None

They sound really good, decent bass response for their size. I installed them on my camper outside to replace the crap onesthat it came with, huge difference.

Pros: They come with plenty of wire and two covers, black and white.

Cons: They are a little deep for camper walls, I reccomend using a 1 inch spacer.

The Speakers for my outside of my RV.

Dean from Wetumpka, AL on 2/24/2019

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Those babies are great and have wonderful sound. I am very happy that I purchased them from the number 1 store. You can't go wrong with them.

Pros: Easy to install. They were a little thicker than my previous ones. One I had to cut through the wall and used a speaker screen on the inside wall to make a clean installation.

Cons: Probably need to make sure you measure the thickness to insure a proper fit or do what I did.
