Default Stereo in a 24?

Anyone put a stereo in a 24? If so, have any pics? I've thought about doing one, but can't see what would be a good location to mount the head unit. Any thoughts?

Installed one in my 24 last year. Mounted two 6" waterproof pioneers in the sides and two below the rear seat (didn't intrude into the comparment under the back seat). I ended up placing the head unit up the flat surface above the top access panel in the cabin. Used a wire less remote with okay luck last year. Mounting a waterproof wired remote with display in the dash this year.

Looks like a good spot for it. I hadn't thought about that space. Any pics of inside to see how the unit is supported? That looks like a winner! Thanks guys!

My stereo is in the dash. Not a great pic, you can just see the top of it. I have 4 6" speakers, 2 in the front and two in the back. I cut some rings out of starboard to put behind them for better support. The rings are through bolted to the cockpit liner, then the speakers are lagged to the rings.

Keep in mind that Bash's boat is an OB, I don't think that speaker location would work that good for an I/O boat. Also, whenever I have to do any work behind the dash, I remove that entire panel. So having the stereo there might make that harder.

That looks good Dave. Any problems with hitting it with your knees in the rough?

No, with the cover closed it only sticks out an inch or two.
