Hi All,
I've been searching the net and still cant get a clear answer. So I have a 93 Escape 209, the boat is in perfect condition, it was pretty much never used. It was my father in laws boat and he kept it pretty much as a trophy boat. Now that I have taken it over I want to install a radio on the boat since it never came with one. I have already decided the set up I am going use and have already purchased the speakers. I bought a pair of JL Audio 6.5 in speakers which all the reviews swear by. My issue is now, where do i put them. I am hesitant to make holes in the boat since like I said its in perfect condition but from what I read flush mounted speakers are better than box speakers. I was thinking the best spot would be on the sides of the center console since it will not require me to run too many cables. I want to know if anyone else has done this or if anyone recommends to put them somewhere else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
