I've been pretty busy this past month, polished the entire boat, new rub rail insert, and installed a complete JL Audio system. Figured I would share my install in case others were interested in doing the same. Install consisted of 3 pairs of 7.7's, 2 10's, and a 900/5; all of which are JL marine series. I removed the Fountain light/logo on both sides and used those power leads to hook up some red LED strips in the engine bay/cockpit. I drilled some bigger holes in those spots to accept the 7.7s big magnet, also made some new panels(so i can keep the factory ones) at the bottom out of 1/2" HDPE sheet for the other 2 pair of 7.7s. Finished it up with 2 custom boxes for the 2 10s under the bench seat, ended up mounting the amp in the cabin where one of the mirrors were. Hope you enjoy!

Looks great. That's some effective use of space in a boat that doesn't off much.
I built a box for 2 12s in my 38, replaces the side panel and storage, and it is simple to put it back to stock. I also added 7.7 fusion speakers in the light holes
13 speakers total, running of one very strong 5 channel sound stream amp

Thanks
I like how you mounted that amp, the more I look at your pics the more I see how clean it is. I am all about sound quality, there are many on my lake that are about cheap wattage and distortion, drives me nuts
I still wish I had more sound in the water. My boat is up fairly high, sound doesn't carry well directly behind it, yet 100 ft away it is louder. May building a custom glass box for under the windshield this spring. I would love to have 4 on the glass above the platform, but I ain't cutting that

I have seen a boat with 4 above the platform like you say, but i cant imagine that to be very good for the stability/rigidity of the hull!

Thanks man, can you make some boxes to put back there and switch the subs out? I had free air subs in my last boat and i couldn't stand them, nothing compares to an enclosed sub IMO.

the ones that are in there are jbl 10s they say they can run either way and list some box specs but im not sure if theyre worth it or not. that and the amp required to run em is gonna be expensive lol
