speaker pods
 

I am looking for the molded pods for 6.5 speakers. I want to put 2 speakers on the dash above the cabin door on my boss 302

They are pretty easy to make and you can get pretty custom!

1. make 2 templete cutouts. 1 for the base and then the other for 2 x 6.5 rings to hold speaker.

2. Form the templetes out and use lil pieces of mdf to support the skeleton and then use grill cloth to cover and staple tight.

3. then apply several coats of fiberglass and then sand down and paint or cover in vinyl.

Pretty easy to do and you can even cut out some thin wood letters (i.e B A J A) and have raised letters in the fiberglass.

We used to do this for custom car audio and its pretty easy to do. Good luck.

What he said. But you can use just about any kind of fabric. I always just use an old T-shirt.

Maybe I should just make a master mold for all these...lol

I am making one for a 25 outlaw right now that holds 4 6.5s

I was hoping to just buy one. Will attempt to make a mold I guess.

you would get more of what you want and more directional if you made them.

you can search.. I found these but would be pointed more upward if you mounted on flat surface.

it would be something similar to that. There used to be a baja from texas I believe that had a full wrap and speakers everywhere including in the windo hatches but I cant find the pics of it. It had dash pods like I am looking for.

Betting they were custom.. I remember seeing a baja like that.. even saw one that had like 6 speakers along the back behind sunpad... nuts!

LOL...we are building a "pod" for there on mine as well...holding 8 6.5s

If you can wait a bit, I will be working on a 25OL soon. I can build you something.

Dude you know with that being a yellow boat...Has anybody said it's going to look like swiss cheese.....

Anyway are you cutting into the deck to put the 6.5" in? I am going to be working on a 25 shortly and the customer wants to put some in there if they will fit.

I got some in my 280 so I am hoping it will work on the 25 without to much modification.

I have only actually cut 8 holes in it.

No more will be cut. The rear will be a fiberglass pod attached to the boat and the front pod will sit on the step above the door. We do LOTS of boats at the shop and the issue is always getting sound outside...well I am solving that with mine..lol

Here are some of the speaker and gauge pods that I made for my boat...

Those look good.. did you psint or wrap in vinyl?? Can't tell..

Damn you guys for posting those pics!!! That's all I need is a crazy time consuming project like that! Looks fantastic!

I had this wild idea about replacing my entire windshield on my 33 OL with a fiberglass windscreen that would be more durable than the plastic shield when climbing over to the deck...AND put a speaker pod in the middle or sides. I have a brand new clear windshield that came with my boat, so I have the old one in place, with a few cracks, that could be used to create such a thing. Wouldn't mind having it a bit taller as well to direct a LITTLE more wind over head. Am I nuts? Has anyone done this?

Quick69, how did you fasten it down under the winshield? Did you have to pull the headliner down?
