[C320-list] Cockpit Speakers suggestions

[Pat Kenefick]

I recently had a sound system installed with speakers in the cabin and 
outside speakers installed under the stern seats. The man who installed them 
did (who also does all of the commissioning work for our local Catalina 
dealer) run the wiring up through the stern rail, drilled through them to 
the speakers. System works very well and have had no problems. We also 
installed the receiver with Sirius capability and a CD player with capacity 
for 10 cd's. Love the whole system. I was advised not to place speakers in 
the fiberglass for vibration reasons which certainly sounds logical.
Good luck

I want to add a sound system and have made my interior hardware selections. 
I want to install cockpit speakers, and think I would like to mount them 
under the stern seats as opposed to cutting holes in the fiberglass.  I 
would appreciate any suggestions Pro and Con, and suggestions for wire 
routing.  The GPS antenna has been fished up through the center of the stern 
rail, and fished out through a hole in the railing to the antenna pod, It 
looks very neat, but perhaps a factory install.  Has anyone run speaker 
wiring through the stern rail? Any suggestions for protecting speaker wiring 
run along the rail surface?

Thanks,
