Pioneer 560 I believe on sale at Best Buy for $25!! 300 watts. Just waiting for spacers I ordered online as depth of new speaker a bit taller than opening allows. Now what to do with equally deplorable outdoor speakers. Anyone have a plug and play replacement? I dont want to cut new holes.

They were about $79 for the pair. They don't have a grill, but the 1" tweeter suspended over the woofer looks very cool. I suppose they are designed to be mounted behind a car door panel with a built in grill.
I liked the way they sounded in the store, decent bass and very good mid and hi end.

Greetings I made spacers out of 3/4 inch plywood, painted them white and mounted better speakers. Looks good.

Thanks RockyMtn.
I bought the spacer pairs for $6 at Best Buy today. Made by Metra
I need to file them out a bit as the Pioneer speakers basket diameter is just a smidgen wider, but they will work.
The OEM speakers are complete, utter crap. The Furrion head unit is spec'd for 20 watts/channel so I figure it can drive the speakers pretty well considering the small cabin. Any sub worth anything is going to need to take up room, and that is in very short supply
I've been shopping power amps and subs, but I'm going to give a listen to the upgraded speakers and then decide. My gut says they'll be as good as needed

I took a look on the Crutchfield website and there are several speakers with 1-13/16" top mount depth. It just means that the grille will hang down a fraction of an inch lower.
