Exterior Speakers Outside

[NoWorries]

OK so i'm putting in a stereo and wondering if I should put the speakers up high or down low.
I notice that Jayco has moved them around the place.

What are your thoughts

Thanks

Ours are up high, which I think is a good thing. You don't have the sound blaring right in your face. I suppose you could have them low, but then you will get a lot of dust in them and they could get hit with stones, branches from shrubs, etc.

Access is another decider... Best option for ours is down low but still need to work out where the wiring can be run.

Ours are up high (they put them through the overhead cupboards). Personally I think this is the best spot as is away from a lot of the road spray from your own vehicle and less chance of mud spray etc getting to them if travelling on wet dirt roads. It also allows the sound to travel better if wanting to tick the close campers off! no - is good as we free camp a lot with no one around we will have a little louder, but is also good for quiet evening tunes.

as @Bmhdg76 and @Smirke said, would be betterer up high,

you can have it as loud as you want, but still be able to have a conversation with anyone next to you

I think @Smergen fitted some but used something different

and annoy everyone else in adjoining sites.

mmmmmmmm mine will be down low as I have no over head cupboard down the back apart from the very rear ammmmm mite be ok got me thinking now I just thought down low as on my model they put them there ,,,,,???? my speakers usually go in the dinette they tell me ,,,, no good I say put both just under the front bed end next to the seat and little cupboard and im putting a metal aerial on it

I cant put speakers up top as the awning arm and annex track is in the way of the back cupbord so down the bottom they go then my draft strip will cover them will make a few holes or get circles cut out and sowen or just see how it goes bugger me it never ends one day getting up in the morning will be easy

Thanks mate... we replaced the awning light with a bluetooth speaker/light combo as seen in this post. Quick, clean and pretty convenient replacement.

If I had to fit outside speakers that's the way I'd go

It's a great little unit, really good quality. We actually use it a as a speaker for when we're in the backyard with party/BBQ/domestic chores. Wifi the phone, through to Bluetooth on the speaker and off you go...

Ha ha... yeah I've done that a few times. Not sure I'll get one on the new van. It has two lights on the outside so if the speaker was on, the other light (given it's on the same circuit) would also be on which I wouldn't want.
