You need to know the depth you can use as well as the size and shape of the mounting flange of the speaker.

All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.

I replaced ours with a set from Infiniti.. Big difference..
Most RVs use 6" round speakers and there are many, many on the market that will work. It all depends on how much you want to spend.
Bought mine at Best Buy..

I'll second the Infinity speakers. Even with the stock radio, which isn't all that great anyway, the sound improvement was much improved.

What others have said about your standard auto speakers. If you want to be sure just pull one and take it along when you shop.
I'm glad you posted this because it reminds me one of the ones in my unit sounds like a kazoo and i need to replace my speakers. I'd forgotten to do it over the winter.

I bought a pair of these Pyle speakers. Much better than the stock trailer speakers and they were cheap... I mean... inexpensive, too.

I replaced my stock ones with a pair of Sony xplode speakers from Wal-Mart ($55cdn). That made a huge difference in sound quality that the kids even commented on and one of the best upgrade i've done. I really like your Pyle speakers there va_jay55. Much better than the ceiling mount.

When you remove the old speakers, take a look at the cavity they are mounted in too. One of the problems I had with the speakers in my HTT was that the sound quality problems were also caused by the speakers vibrating the cabinet paneling they were mounted in. I secured the new speakers a little bit better by reinforcing the paneling with more wood and scres, and then stuffed the cavity with some foam. This dampened the vibrations that were being transmitted through the cabinetry. I imagine this can also happen with ceiling mounted speakers too.
Also, keep in mind, when you replace the flimsy factory speakers with good HiFi car speakers, the new speakers will produce more bass, and may create a vibration problem where none may have previously existed!
