Got my SKAR Audio 6.5" installed firing down at my head from hardtop, new marine wires and bigger amp, makes them all sound very nice. The low-profile sub is OK, better low end sound but not much thump. So I bought a 10" Fusion sub that an owner here showed me fits in the inspection plate under...

Sounds like a great system Jim, Looking forward to seeing the photos. Hope that image resizer works for you. Would also like to hear about your boat camping / fishing trips into Canada. I have dreams of doing that someday. I'm in Seattle as well and boat camp when I can.

How is this possible to mount speakers under the front seat driver seat. Didn't you have to cut into the fishbox that goes under the driver seat? I've measured mine and it seems like there is no depth to mount the speaker. How much depth is there in there?

Wow, sounds like a great system. Let us know how she sounds and of course post pics!

Yup, Skunkboat for the win. Roll the dice. They wouldn't offer it if the deck wasn't stacked in their favor. I've got 1300 on a 20 year old motor. Yamaha of course.

100% agree, they are tank! Very heavy and beamy. I believe the Gulfstream is 500 lbs heavier than the Voyager 24. (needs its 200 gallon tanks!) Don't quote me on that. Also love the freeboard on the Gulfstream over my Seafarer.

I wanted a Voyager 24' but they are hard to find. Cons are that with the euro transom you lose 2' of deck so it's the same fishing/patio room as the Seafarer 22' w/ bracket. For example my Sefarer 228 is longer over all than the voyager. I get a full width swim deck too. Spent a lot of time on...

This seems like a pretty good spot on the Seafarer, not my boat but saw it locally.

I had them on my last boat. Easy install but ya they get drenched with salt water and fresh. As soon as the silicone seal fails between speaker and boat the back gets doused. If you have a true marine speaker w/ plastic basket and cover the terminals with dielectric grease you can get a few more...

Dennis, I tested them both free air in my hands. Not a scientific test of any kind. I still need to make bigger pods and 3d print difference speaker rings to accommodate. But all will be in sealed boxes. It's going to be hard to do any serious before/after tests with my system since I'm adding...

Skar 6.5 vs a nice Polk 6.5, check out the size difference. Both sound nice but Skar has deep bass. Need to remake my speaker pods to accommodate bigger size.

Just stainless 1/4” bolts with washers. Sealed top with mastic tape or silicone. Hard top is strong.

Yes, meant to mention that. It fits on the shelf on either side under the gunnel. But I could only get two screws on it so I didn’t mount it there.

Photos of my new low profile 8” subwoofer, has built in amp. It’s mid install here, so not wired up. But it’s completely hidden unless you’ve been down to look at it.

I'm loving this stereo thread, especially the pics!

I put my deck in the electronic box above my head on the hardtop. great access. The only con is you need to run lots of wiring down the little rigging tube. Finished that mission yesterday. Took 50' of tinned marine wire. As mentioned, tons of blue tooth options. You don't really need a head...

Here's a serious JL stereo in a Seafarer here on the boards: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/2000-2017-228-seafarer-updated.33630/#post-231263

Size is the issue. How big were your poly planers? Little speakers sound tiny and little, sound like noise at cruise. Bigger speakers will always sound more natural. BTW I used the same holes for my rear poly brackets hang my bigger SKARs. So no new holes in hard top. You put on the Burwins...

Also if you don't have much room for an amp get a digital marine version, they are tiny and very efficient. Class A/B is the typical amp class and does sound better but is also power-hungry. However, now that I need more power this year I'm switching from a digital 4 channel to a (free) older...

Is Poly Planar a decent brand of speaker? - Not in my opinion. Neither is BOSS or Pyle but they do get the job done and are expendable. If you want bumping marine speakers on a budget but can't/won't spend for JL's (me). Look at SKAR audio marine speakers they are a little bigger than most...
