Speaker placements in a 31SS
 

I am interested in upgrading my stereo system in the boat and wanted to see what others have done. I already have a kenwood head unit and a bazooka tube left over from my last truck that I sold that I plan on installing. Really interested to see where you guys may have installed speakers and amps.

Thanks,

st31,

I just installed most of a my system in my new 26', and I've taken a lot of pics, but I left my camara in the boat this afternoon...

I'll post some pics for you first thing in the morning.:cool:

I have 2 10" subs in mini enclosures (ported) in the gunnel cabinets, and 4 6x9's on the front of the rear seat base. The amp is mounted under the rear seat.

Do you have any pictures of the sub boxes? How does the system sound? I was thinking of putting speakers in the sides of the boat near the shifter and the passenger arm rest but did not want to do something that would mess up the structure of the boat.

Here is what I've done so far...

Left side

Left side of storage cabinet

Right side of Storage cabinet

Here are the nose speakers... and I am in the process of turning the left couch into a sealed sub enclosure that will occupy 3 kicker VR 10” subs.

That looks great. Thank you both for the pictures.

Thanks for the info...
I'm am looking into doing the same kind of upgrades this spring. Would love to have all the ideas possible, before I go cutting holes in the fiberglass. Where to postion the subwoofers has def. been my biggest problem. Having a special box built to install in one of the port or starboard storage areas with the sliding doors seems to be the option most suggest to me by the installers. Finding a well ventillated yet dry area to place the power is also a problem. I have AC so not much room under the sink.
Thanks for the ideas,
Scott

I am wondering if the 10" bazooka tube that I have will fit into one of the port or starboard storage areas. Has anyone else done this?

I installed 2 10" autobaun subs under the rear seat and it was very tight because of the 4 battery set up I have for the power inverter there is room for another sub in the middle if you remove the cockpit light and since I have added a neon tube just above the light it does not matter to me by the way I also added the neon in the vents on the side of the boat, looks pretty cool at night. My highs are the same as jlsnyder but I want to point out my jl audio 500 for the subs is already out and my buddy has replaced 3 of them is it the vibration, salt air moisure of the fact it is in the first compartment with my power inverter and shares a wall with the cooler? I have noticed condensation on the amp in cold weather when the cooler is full of beer and ice?? Sounds good when it all works.

Good luck!
