[Rhodes22-list] Best Location for Stereo Speaker Installation

[W Buck]

David, I would mount back on laz under seats. You could angle them for
better sound or just mount flush. I would add second pair of speakers in
cabin,  - Wally

  Hi list:

  I did a search of the archives because I thought for sure someone had
  probably done a stereo speaker installation before and discussed it.
  Nothing came back in results except for Rummy's recent discussion of
  stereo
  drain on his battery.

  I have picked out two possible sites to install the speakers: The
  best
  place for what little sound quality you can expect in the cockpit of
  a
  sailboat will probably be in the cabin bulkheads on each side of the
  companion way door facing the cockpit. The wires can be hidden there
  between the bulkhead and liner and it is in close proximity to the
  electrical switching panel in the cabin and the stereo unit. The
  other
  location I thought of which is not as good but would less unsightly
  in the
  cabin would be in the lazerette under the seats on each side. The
  sound
  wouldn't be nearly as good, but I wouldn't have to cut the cabin
  liner to
  accommodate the speaker magnets.

  The stereo unit itself is going to mount where the old VHF used to
  be.

  Anyone with stereo speakers already mounted or any experience
  mounting a
  stereo system in the Rhodes, I would appreciate hearing them.

  I have two flush mount 6.5 inch speakers from West Marine and a nice
  Sony
  CD/CDR/MP3 ready to mount. The unit will drive 4 speakers but I only
  want
  two unless someone knows better.

  Thanks,

  David Culp
