[Rhodes22-list] Galley Stereo Speaker Installation

[RobertBovee50 at aol.com]

Rummy doesn't have any cabin speakers. He stated that there was enough  sound 
from the speakers in the lazzerette that it carried into the cabin. I  guess 
that is what a 250 watt kicker amp will do for you.

No doubt that your cabin installation is better then  mine.  I was just
trying to make the speakers I had work.  They  do take up extra space in the
cabinet that some people might need if you  are cruising and need to
provision.  These speakers I have aren't  worth the trouble of making any
cutouts, but they sound good mounted the  way I did it.  If I ever get
serious about inside speakers, I will do  it the way you did as I like things
hidden in a boat cabin instead of being  head knockers.  My cockpit speakers
are mounted in the laz ala Rummy  and I can't think of a better place, but I
don't think we have any pictures  in the archives of his cabin mount, but I
will check  again.

Thanks,
David

David,

They look fine, as long as there is  nothing in the cabinets.  We have wire
frame shelving and supplies in  there that would probably block the sound.

We located "Poly-Planar"  speakers (Styrofoam, waterproof) both inside the
cabin and in the  cockpit.  The cabin speakers are rectangular style and
located in the  port side vertical portion of the storage locker, under the
settee, facing  the starboard galley.  The cockpit speakers are 8" round
style located  in the laz bulkhead, under the seats, facing forward.  Both
give  really good sound coverage, even with the beds in place without
blasting  the neighbors.

There have been many other locations.  I think that  Rummy placed speakers
high in the cabin on the starboard side, above the  galley.  He also used
speakers in the laz bulkhead, under the seats  for the cockpit.

Whatever works is the best  solution.
