North Trail owners deserve better. Does it work, yes but it is a poor poor excuse for sound quality. I don't expect much from RV installed systems but this unit is cheap. I'm sorry but this unit doesn't belong with solid surface counter tops, electric awning, and hidden cabinet hinges.

Yeah, I would have said the same thing....however at 6 watts a channel the Magnadyne is terrible. I just can't imagine it sounding this bad. I've actually heard some decent reviews about the latest Jensen unit. I'm sure it's not on the level of Pioneer or Denon but it has to sound better than this unit/speaker combo. One would hope so anyway.
It's my only complaint so far with my NT.

Try upgrading your speakers first . . . you may find that will make your system sound better!
Our Trail Runner has the Jensen stereo . . . and both the inside and outside speakers were junk!
I've replaced the inside speakers and now it sounds much better.
The outside speakers, well . . . maybe this summer I'll replace them with some real speakers, too!
One other thing . . . whomever wires these stereos at the factory apparently doesn't know much about audio wiring . . .
When I replaced the inside speakers, I spent the better part of one day trying to figure out what the heck was going on with the wiring!

This is an issue with me as well. All this nice rv with a tin can stereo system. My neighbor has a Keystone with the same system. He "upgraded" to the Jensen and it sounded the same. He took it back and then added an amp and all new speakers and what a difference. That is going to be my first spring project. I am going to switch out the speakers first and see what happens.

I've always wondered why they can't put a decent sound system in RV's. You spend $50K on a 5th wheel, you would think you could at least have a half way decent sounding system.
The speakers that came in my Big Country are SO BAD, it actually irritated me to play my Jensen when watching TV or listening to music. So the first thing I did, was buy a sound bar. Now everything that goes through the TV, has much better sound and way more bass.
I have an expensive Bose system that I can no longer use since we moved to a smaller house, so I'm going to see if I can put in my Big Country. It's 5 speaker, a sub woofer and a receiver. Wish me luck.....

I had upgraded the inside ceiling speakers in our 2013 Trail Runner and was going to leave them in it when we traded it in last week . . . but at the last minute I decided to pull them out and put the stock junk speakers back in.
We just picked up our new trailer yesterday, and I will be putting those speakers in the new trailer, along with the two LED TV's and the JackTV antenna that I removed from the Trail Runner.
Hoping to get that done tonight!

I had the same system in my SOB trailer. I added a powered subwoofer that I had from an old surround sound system from my house to it and it sounded great. There's an RCA plug for sub out in rear of the unit that worked perfectly. It really made a huge difference. May be worth trying. My .02

We had Jensen in our last RV a travel trailer. It was horrible. Jensen, in my opinion, is junk. Best is to use quality consumer components.
