hey guys ive got the west marine xxl tower speakers and im satisfied with the sound and whatnot, but just tired of the box look. any ideas on what i could do as far as the design of a new box goes as well as construction? here are the specs and pic of the speakers. <BR> <BR>8” mica cone woofers (with 20 oz. magnets), and clear, crisp highs with the 25mm silk soft dome tweeters. Smooth frequency response from 40 to 20,000 Hz. 150W maximum per speaker. <BR> <BR>8 Ohms, 300/pair Max Watts, 8” Woofer Cone, 2 W/Port Elements <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/215330.jpg" alt="west marine xxl tower box speakers"> <BR> <BR>thanks guys...i know some of you can come up with some really sick ideas. oh by the way they are hanging on a red 13th floor tower on an xstar/prostar. Thanks! <BR> <BR>

You'll likely spend way more money on making enclosures that you spent on the speakers. Enjoy them as they are since your happy with the sound. Maybe do a gloss black paint job on them or color match them to your boat.

Sell em on Ebay and buy some new ones.

I have those same speakers and I was thinking the same thing. I think they sound way to good just to get rid of. I like the round tube look but these speakers sound great for the price.
