225 Explorer stereo speaker system layout?

(1/3) > >>

jdevoid:
I'm in the process of purchaingng a stereo system- Clarion M309 and Apx 290 amp and JL audio speakers for 2001 225 EX

I wanted to hear how others have laid out their stereo systems.  My main concern is the speaker location. I don't like the local of the stock speaker setup- 1 behind the cabin folding door and the other below the throttle controls.

Any ideas?

Circle Hooked:
I cut out holes in the pie plate covers at the base of the walk around, and installed the speakers in the covers,they sound great easy to wire and in the last 12 years i'm on my second set of speakers,and they have not been high dollar speakers to start with and they still lasted.

I have set of pioneer box speakers mounted to the in side of the cabin walls that have lasted since day one,together it all sounds great.

fishingdave:
i would use the two factory locations on each side of the walk ways, put two in the t-top(if you have one) and two inside the cabin in boxes all the way forward. If you dont have a t-top i would use small pre-load speaker boxes on the console, so this way your not cuting your boat all up. Hey your from LI??  where do you boat out of?

Rear speakers in the same place cheapo ones ,but they have lasted a long time. Two in cabin one buy sink the other across from there. Paid about 200$ for everything (including radio)in the thoughts of upgrading latter, but they really sound great as if it was a much more expensive setup, think the whole boat acts like a speaker box. At full throttle (200 2 stroke) I can't hear the motor when at 3/4 volume on the radio.

So in my opinion you really don't have to spend a lot to have a bumpin system ......yo yo (so cal )

I took out the two pie plate covers on either side of the cockpit of my XF and made a adapter plate out of starboard for a pair of Sony 6" speakers.   I also belive the gunnel sides act as speaker box since the whole hull seems to boom from them.
