Upgrade stereo speakers inside - Event Date: 30 Jul 2018

Oh, NO, not Blose!

I am an audio enthusiast (snob).

The biggest issue with all of the R-Pod speakers is the lack of volume behind them. That tiny volume of trapped air limits cone travel and kills the bass. You *could* dig out more styrofoam, and give up more of the precious little insulation you have. There is too little space in the 'Pod for traditional bookshelf speakers, even, and probably too little strength in the walls to mount them.

I used my Klipsch Groove BT speaker once. The sound was good, for BT, but the space issue was still there.

I settled on a Visio 20" sound bar that comes with a subwoofer. Mounted the bar under the TV with 2 L-shaped brackets and heavy duty velcro. The so called subwoofer is placed under my dinette (now a couch). I can BT my phone, etc to the bar and get rather decent music and TV sound. It is out of the way and uses no counter/table space.

Originally posted by Marchhall I replaced my inside speakers on my '17 179 with 300 watt Pioneers from Best Buy, on sale at $25.00 (half price). I did have to buy spacers as cone depth slightly more than stock ones, as well 1 inch wall anchors and longer screws. Sound 1000 times better.  Now for the outside ones...hard to find flush mounted ones of same size, so likely will have to be drilling holes for new screws as most speakers are larger. The outside ones are not recessed into wall, but flush mounted, and just a small hole for wires. Any ideas?

Originally posted by TheBum I'll have to consider taking my Altec-Lansing boom box in our Pod. It was designed to work with older iPhones physically plugged in (30-pin connector), but I was in Fry's Electronics one day a few years ago and found 30-pin to Bluetooth adapters on clearance, thereby turning it into a BT boom box. I love this boom box because it has lots of bass, including a passive radiator.

Originally posted by Don Halas I agree with a Bluetooth speaker system. I have JBL Charge which I use with the pod and around the house. I also have a small Oontz Angle which stays on my desk at work, but will go in my luggage if I do any air travel.

Thanks, Furpod - VERY cool solutions you have come up with!
