182G Exterior Speakers

I have a 2016 182G and would like to add some exterior speakers to the side of my pod so I can enjoy the music when hanging out in the r-dome. My Jensen stereo have the "c" speakers so it would be easy enough to hooking it to them for sound. I am not sure about mounting the speakers to the outside though. 
I am considering going with speakers like these: http://www.jensenrvdirect.com/jensen-6-5-coaxial-waterproof-speaker-801.html and something like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_068RPOD9/RetroSound-RPOD9.html?tp=61890 since the speakers are like 2.5" deep and I know the pod wall isn't that deep.

Using the speaker pods would also eliminate the need to cut a big hole in the side of the trailer for the speakers. I know I will still have a small hole for the wires and a few for the mounting screws.

Second questions is where to mount them either up high near the light on either side of the door or down low on either side of the door.

Any advice or suggestions For anyone with experience doing this would be great.

	Have you given any thought to WiFi connected speakers? No wires to run, no holes to drill. Safe Travels.

	I have a 182g and wanted to hook up the C speakers. So I bought a cheap stereo box with two 6.5" speakers and ran twenty feet of 14 gauge wire under the door to the storage under the dinette. Now it has a dual use. When we are inside, it helps to add bass and sound for the tv speakers, especially when the AC is on. When outside. I just open the front storage door and have sound outside. Or with the extra wire, I pull it out and set it on the fender.

	I'm guessing the outside speakers must be something new for 2017 as mine has them. Here is where they mounted them from the factory. uploads/5801/20160909_170552.jpg

	What model is that? I think some models had them in prior years too, but not my 2016 182G. It does have speakers in the rear garage though. Wonder where I could get those speaker pods that you have, what size are they?

	Hi bcmckean The model I have is a 2017 180. Not sure on the size of the speaker pods but I'm thinking 6" maybe ?. I suppose you could check with the parts dept at the R-Pod dealer.

	I am wanting to upgrade my exterior on my 15 179 and came across these. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_068RPOD6/RetroSound-RPOD6.html Not sure if they would work or not. I think the new models rpods have different exterior speakers then what I have, the enclosures look bigger from what I have seen.
