Installing A Stereo
Hey all again...Was just wondering, what have you guys done as far as installing a stereo in the boat. Where have you mounted it?? Should I use a poly planar type mounting box or any other type to suggest. Also as far as speakers where to mount??Pics would be greatly appreciated if posted... As always, I appreciate the help beforehand and remember to turn your clocks ahead...Few more weekd to spring I hope and get the boat uncovered...
Mark

My son had a AM/FM/CD player he took out of his truck that he sold, so being I had a hole already cut under the dash I trimed it out in mahogany and mounted it there. I dont leave it in, just pop it in before I take it out. As for speakers I made some plyboard boxes to fit up under the gunnels and mounted two 6 inch Jensens in them. You cant see them unless you lay on the floor. Sounds really good for a cheap setup. I bought a foot long black rubber antenna and mounted it on the port gunnel beside the windshield, picks up great. Oh and welcome to the site! Some others mounted theirs in the cabin!

 When i bought the boat, one was in the cabin, i changed it out last year with this one that has a cd player and mp3 input...its kind of a pain to get to , if i had to do over, i'd probaly move it to the passenger side cuddy bulkhead. i think they are a lot more water proof than they used to be.

I'm shopping round also and this is what I'm going to do. The ipod connection is the way to go for me. No skipping and tons of my own music.
