Title: Installing Speakers
Post by: Reckless on March 24, 2009, 05:38:20 AM

  I am installing 2 flush mount speakers. Is it safe to cut 2, 6" dia. holes in the CC?
Thanks!!

Sure..
But I'd make sure you seal the edges of the exposed plywood after the cut is made..  Clear silicone.. or something like that..

I would also see what effect they have on the compass.

Good point as the 2 speakers will probably have pretty hefty magnets on them.

I put mine on each side of the leaning posts. Great sound and you can feel Sanatana in your ass.

Thats a big factor to look at before cutting and if you have the room then go for it and use a good sealant maybe like 3m 4200.

If you don't want to cut anything
Check out Matt's page here at Task Marine he has these on sale. There boxed speakers with brackets.
Poly-Planar MS7500
Compact Box Speaker (Black)
Reduced price to $50.00 (while supplies last)
