I am going to install a Stereo in my Auasport 222 Express Fisherman.
I am looking for Ideas on places to install the Stereo and speakers (4 Total).
God I hate making holes in my boat. Although I realize it is sometimes a necessary evil.
Anyone familiar with the boat layout. I have compartments at both the left and right side of the stern (one for the batteries and one for the oil and raw water pump). Could install 2 speakers there. But don't know where to put the other 2. I want to mount the stereo below the console , but dam there is no room in the electrical panel in the cuddy behind the console.
Just looking for input.
FYI. Love the Forum

What about the "wings" at the helm area, say just aft of the seats? That's where we installed them on WAs at Proline...

I'd like to suggest the 'in-boat' speakers from Wet Sounds.
www.wetsounds.com (http://www.wetsounds.com)
Not cheap. But nothing is more waterproof or clearer, and they'll take the pounding.
ps - I have nothing to do with the company...they're just made in Houston so I have seen/heard a few of their installations.
pps - Maybe you could mount them 'externally' so as to avoid big holes?

I believe you get what you pay for......The website is great. Thanks for the tip. I was looking on Basspro and West Marine websites and they have nothing like what I see on Wetsounds. I noticed they sell something that could hang speakers from the tube frames for my Bimini. Maybe an option.
Thanks

Yeah...I've had all kinds of boats...40' sailboat, several powerboats, and a jet-ski. (hers). Across the board, my speakers (a) never sounded very good, and (b) either "shook" apart or corroded. I met the WetSounds guys at a marina one day, launching that huge offshore racer. They are making a good living building/selling sound systems to the wake-board and jet-ski dealers. All I can tell you the sound from that big boat was amazing and they're very genuine guys....just excited about their product. If you saw the boat/truck combination on the website, you can tell that they're very 'quality oriented'. I know the amp you buy is important too...I don't know if they sell that part of the system or not, but I'm sure they'd recommend something.
Now I am wanting speakers for my 170...thanks a lot! :roll:
