            White will not match perfectly. Black is the way on that boat.

              White will compete with the flashiness of the hull on that boat and diminish it-not to mention make it look too busy. It's already flirting with being too busy. Cool boat though.

                You can never go wrong with black speakers, but I can see the potential for regrets with white speakers.

                  I would go with white because it would make the blue tower stand out . After you install the speakers and find you don't like the white you could cover them with black speaker covers from Speakersoxs. Best of both worlds here.

                        Black pod with blue nose/grill to match the boat and tower.

                          I disagree with the white not matching. They are far enough apart, that even several shades are not going to be noticeable.
                          Despite my love for white, I would go black on that boat, because the color scheme already looks a little busy, and black would seem to keep it more calm.

                          Here's 4 shades of white with tower speakers, boat, trailer and truck. Frankly, I cannot tell a difference. Maybe up close, but I can't see all 4 of them up close at the same time to compare. Another shade of white if you look at the interior. It looks like I need some more boat pictures, I thought I had one that would be more on just the boat. I have a larger pic, but photobucket has become the worst photosharing website ever. Terrible pic, but you get the idea.

                            I like white on certain boats and I like tower pods that contrast with the tower. White pods are the perfect choice IMO on the above white/red boat. The contrasting pods have to tie into the same hue found elsewhere on the boat. I have to eliminate white on this particular blue/black/white boat because of the black bimini combination and the 3-color hull/graphics. White would be a little too busy to my eye. If you went with black, and later you wanted to add just a little pop, you could change the color on just the pod's face bezels/grills as MLA suggested.

                              Dang, that red and white is nice! That is the scheme I have always had in mind as an alternative to our red/white G23.

                              Staying on topic, I would probably stick with black from the bug factor alone, seeing how bad the white tower gets it. But.... you could use covers.
