4 10's in the back, 2 12's in the front by your feet and 5's everywhere. 2 4300 amps and a 1800 to drive the 5's. The way I got it, but I wouldn't change a thing It had the pods but i took em out. I like the space under my windshild open. You can still hear the stereo real good !

( pictures were takin in storage before my Upholstry was done )

I don't have my boat handy... but can I fit the JL 7.7s easily where the Fountain logo is on my 38' Lightning? I haven't looked but depth is my concern.

ttt

No dice on the 7.7's but the 6.5's fit nice!!!!

Im waiting to see someones custom speakers up on the dash in the corner of the windsheild

So the depth is the problem for the 7.7's on the 38 ? I am assuming that will stand to be correct in the 32 fever as well???? I was just about to pull the trigger on a couple sets of the 7.7s for my boat, and put in the logo lights spots. . . .

I guess if you want ot cut out the light locations they will work but the 6.5's fit right in no mods at all....would post pictures but ....Oh well

.
I have a 32 and no matter what you will have to cut out behind the logo light for the speaker motor. Unless you can find something that is only 1.25" deep.

Look at yours close and the measurement for the motor diameter, on mine the support for the wire run had to be trimmed, not a big deal on the port side but on the starboard it is holding a lot.

You want to make the hole big enough to vent the speaker into the gunnels, even 6.5’s need a fair amount of free air behind them so you don’t load the driver.

BTW

The logo lights leave a black rim, my 6.5’s don’t cover it.

I hear a lot of good things about the JL audio marine speakers. Would it do any good to run them straight off a 50W x 4 deck (22 RMS), or is it not worth spending the $$$ on them if I'm not going to run a larger amp to push them?

Amps seem to be pretty reasonable these days so i would not run them off the head unit only. I listened to a set of 7.7's yesterday in my partners bass boat with a small amp and was overly impressed, cannot believe the sound he is getting out of those. Another friend called me over to his house on saturday to listen to his new setup that he was very proud of . He had 4 west marine speakers , a Kicker marine amp and two bazooka self powered marine tubes. Bass response was pretty ok , and the volume was loud , but honestly it sounded really bad compared to the JL audio that i have heard. (didnt have the heart to tell him) , although he is a cheapskate . With another 250 to 300 added to his budget I think he would have been a lot happier.
