cutting new holes for a cupholder

[scubblicious]

Install of stereo a sucess, took forever but sounds great. I ended up putting it right in the middle of the dash, that seemed the most flush and we explored the option of putting it under the dash but went with the dash b/c it seemed more solid.

Everything fit great and we were happy to find that CC had already pre-cut holes in the wood behind the upholestery....but heres my question.... Why did they put/cut room for the speakers (granted the 2 speakers in the stern went in great) and not pre cut the fiber for the front two speakers as well?

we took tons of pics of the job if you guys are interested ill post em???

doing the cupholder when i get a hold of a holesaw. thanks for all the ideas!

Need to revive this old topic. I just bought a 1990 sport nautique and am looking to install a stereo. I have the cutouts for the speakers (2 in front and 2 in back) on the combing pads but where would I put the head unit and how would I run the wiring? Sorry, I'm a newb to this site also so if this has been discussed elsewhere, I've not figured out how to find it yet. Hoping you guys can assist since you've gone through this! I was thinking of putting the head unit in the glove box. Also, since the boat has the cutouts for the speakers...is there a chance it's pre-wired also for a stereo and I just need to find the cables and connect up?
