I am curios which route to go, <BR> <BR>I cannot afford NVS speakers, so those are out of the question. <BR> <BR>I want to be able to hear the music while riding, <BR> <BR>1. 4 6x9s? <BR>2. 4 6.5's? <BR>3. 2 outdoor stadium speakers? <BR>4. 2 6.s and 2 6x9s? <BR> <BR>I can make the enclosure and fiberglass it myself so that will save me alot of money.

4 6x9's

6 61/2s <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/257880.jpg" alt="">

i would go with 4 6x9s, i have 4 6 1/2 and can hear the music perfectly but i want to upgrade to 6x9s..

Matt, <BR> <BR>What kind of amp do you have powering them?

four 6x9s or Evids

4 6X9's here powered by a 800 watt soundstream but it took a while to build the box. I also didnt have the cash and the box was a good glass project. Build/shape foam core (off ebay) cut holes for speakers and gut foam. Glass in some wood inserts where the speakers mount, as ribs between chambers, and as a backing for the tower clamps. Drill and paint. It did take me a few months and i had some old west marine speakers to get me by so that is why i wasnt rushing it. I used about 5 layers of matt and think with the ribs you could have gone with 4 or maybe 3 if you were careful as my box is solid like a rock but it also weighs 40 lbs loaded.

6 6 1/2 sounds better to my ear. not as much bass but a cleaner sound. dont know cwhere you are, but if your anywhere near modesto ca swing by the shop and i can let you listen to both. i have a display with multiple tower boxes over head so you can get a feel of what it would be like in the boat

Chris, <BR> <BR>Thank you for the offer! I used to live in Turlock and I would have loved to swing by. When I come out to the Central Valley I would love to take you up on your offer. Thanks

Isaac, <BR> <BR>Feel free any time, m-s 9-7. But I,m only here m-f. 1313 McHenery ave

Interesting... <BR> <BR>The boat featured on TeamAudioPros website has 4 - 6x9s <BR> <BR>what gives Chris?

Mikeski <BR> <BR>Thats not their store boat, that is a customers boat from a couple years back. They have a X45 that has six 6X9s.

Chris, <BR> <BR>I want to say that my cousin works for you guys?? or used to.. his name is Jim Mayhan.. sound familiar?

Small world, I think Jim is in the Lodi store now. <BR>

yup thats him <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>great guy <BR> <BR>tell him you chatted with Isaac

the 6 1/2 are on a 03' x-star therefore i only have the stock clarions running to them...

Mikeski, <BR>Like chas said, thats an old customer pic. Store boet is an X-45, wick I didn't design, so it has 6 6x9's. If I had my say it would of had NVS. But with Isaac saying that they are out of the question, my next opinion is still the 6 6 1/2. <BR> <BR>Isaac, <BR>Talked to Jim this morning, he says hello.
