    Where and how would you mount these

    Without thinking i ordered speakers that match the gauge radio and they're too big as no surface is big enough to cut a hole for them. Then i ordered these boxes, they are thick plastic, not flimsy at all. This is a fresh rebuild so just about anything can be done

    how and where should i mount these ? How and where would you it ?
    no amps or giant sound, just basic tunes.
    thanks guys

    Since no one is supplying any feed back I'll at least give you a suggestion. You've already modified the boat substantially so you're obviously not concerned with making sure everything is period correct. As such I would consider installing 2 sets of speakers incorporating one set in the rear seats you've built and making a pair of fiberglass wedge shaped speaker enclosures which you could mount under the gunnel by the passenger and driver's seats. If you don't want to cut into the seat structure you could use the same wedge enclosures for the rear and mount them under the gunnels by the rear seats to match the fronts. Going this direction would be considerable work building the mold for the enclosures but you could make the enclosure any size/shape you want and pop out as many as you need. It would also save you from cutting large holes in the boat which would be much harder to repair should you decide you don't like the results.

      Thank you, for the ideas and advice,.
      thats just it, no part of the rear seat is big enough to cut a hole, no surface is other than where i wo'nt put them.
      Pulling a mold off these boxes was the first thought when they got delivered, but here is a 2 month backorder on resin.
      hadn't thought about 4 speakers, or under the gunnel either.
      the mold idea is probably best since i doubt anything would stick to them.

          +1 for the speaker box idea. My 82 Mastercraft had the same issue - no suitable surface for speakers. Never got to making boxes but was really the only choice.
