Fiberglass enclosure or separate speaker cans

[wakemomma]

I am wanting to install new tower speakers before summer and would like some input. I like the look of a fiberglass enclosure holding 4-6 speakers but no one seems to be using this set up..Is the sound no good? Would I be better off with speaker cans, does the sound travel better...I think wetsounds is out of my financial reach..thanks for any help

Harold is selling his fiberglass box, speakers and all. It has four 6x9s facing back and two 6x9s facing forward. At $950 it's a nice box for a great price. I have a link to it posted in the classifieds. It's the next best thing if you cannot afford some Wetsounds.

Hey the sound is fine in the fiberglass speaker box. It is what I have. The only problem is if you ever blow a single speaker, which I did. Even disconnected from a power source the speaker paper will move when the other 3 are playing.

The effect is that the non powered (blown) speaker popped and cracked just as if it were on, and there was not a thing I could do. consiquently I wanted to buy better tower speakers anyay, so no biggy.

I would highly recommend the Kicker KTM6's. I just got a set for my boat and for the money I am really impressed. I think they sound fantastic, although I'm such a sissy that I have yet to get out to ride this season... (our lake just got filled the 5th, so the water's a itty bit chilly right now.) A couple more cheeseburgers and my permanent wet/dry suit will be complete!!!
