[C320-list] Installing stern seat speakers

[John Frost]

One thought for consideration. On my last Catalina I mounted rectangular
Bose speakers under the stern seats using a single SS screw to the socket in
the middle of the speaker wall. I left just enough slack in the wire to
rotate the speaker to aim to the rear when we were swimming or floating
behind the boat. That made for a nice swim.

If you are going to surface mount them, you might consider the Bose 131
Marine Speakers.

They have a sealed rear sound volume that provides a tuned bass enclosure
and protects the back of the speaker. It probably would prevent taking on
water in a bad event.

Happy Sailing!

Does someone have advice/photos to provide guidance on installing marine
speakers under the transom seats? Attaching the speakers to the seats is
simple enough but I am interested in lessons learned on the speaker wire run
thru the stantions. 

Thanks,
