Anybody have tunes in their duck rig? Thinking about putting in tunes when I get the new rig. The family might like to ride more if I would equip my rigs better. I don't even have tunes in the flats boat because I originally got it to fish out of .

Yes, if you do a search you can find it. They were rigging them up in PVC with the speakers set in
2 elbows or ice chest or under the seats. anyway you want to do it

You will only be able to hear it when you are not runnin unless you use an amp..

These Kicker marine speakers sound very good and loud with a small amp.

Here's the one I just finished for a friend.

an amp draws a lot more juice on ya battery,it wont sound like a bose,but if you tie in a small pa-horn type speaker you can hear it at 4000 rpms runnin with a marshmello doublex

I have used mine all day many of times and never had any worries. I do carry a battery just for the radio. 400 W amp, Ipod & 4 120W speakers

Mine has 4 200 watt 6x9 with a 300 amp pushing them i have a battery in the icechest with it it will last all day easy!! If you was a the swimming hole in caddo last you can say how it sounds lol And i can hear mine while running!!

That pic had only 2 6x9 i replaces the lil ones with 2 more and added the amp

A buddy of mine has JL Audio components in his 34' SeeVee. It sounds awesome, but he also has several thousand $ in audio. The cooler idea is pretty neat. I was thinking about (1) 10" JL sub mounted under the front deck (firing down) and (4) 6.5" JL coaxials and a JL 5 channel amp, not sure about head unit. I would use 2 batteries one for motor and one for audio. When (hopefully) I have Uncle J build my boat I will have to consult with him on mount locations. I'll have to search the PVC idea. When I was in high school (22 years ago) I built many bazooka knock offs using PVC.
I just wanted to get an idea of what you guys were using. Like I said I have 2 boats and never really had a need for audio. I just park close to another boat with tunes if we're at the sandbar . My wife brings the lack of audio up whenever we go boating. That problem will be rectified on the new rig..

Terry I am doing a 6x9 cooler this week for my rig (upgrading) what size hole saw for the 6x9 or do you have to use a jig saw because of the oval shape?

i used a jig saw

just buy a 6x9 hole saw!

my buddy has a stereo he built for his 4wheeler that we used in my boat. Worked well and could hear it at WOT..

It was 4 6" JBL marine speakers and two tweeters with a 600 watt JL audio amp.


I plan on building one similar for my boat using two 6x9 and two 6" Infinity reference marine speakers with a JBL 600 watt 4 channel amp. If needed I will add tweeters.

I have a old 20"x20" square sub box that I had in my tahoe that I am going to cut down and make a stereo/ seat out of.

Also I think as long as I am running that the engine will keep the battery charged. I have the marine CDI and a optima yellow top fors starting and one of the trollin motor/ stereo.

Wheeler box

This is my setup the pic on the black bike was better to see radio

I got one i'll be jammin, you can here it at idle, wide open, sitting still, it don't matter. Take'ems Got the thump and thats a matr fact

This is all you need: hook up ur ipod and you are set. If you use Dewalt tools, it doubles as a batter charger too.

Just go with these bose and add a sub with a 4 channel amp. I prefer Kicker myself.

I got a box from tractortunes. They make a whole radio to fit under tractor, atv, or boat roofs. Can mount it either under a poling platform which i did or on the side of one of your benches. Pioneer radio with remote included. Two sony speakers with am/fm antenna built in. The one pictured runs 399 and they make one now that has a dome light built in to it for more. Here's a few old pics for reference.

that has got to be the cleanest mud motor stereo install ive seen, good job!

If ya got a grab bar, just mount these to it.

I stopped into West Marine today & was looking at there 6x9 speakers because I am in the process of upgrading my marine cooler etc.

What I found (and I realize this now) was a pair of 3 way 6x9's for $150 + 25% off

I said no thanks & walked out the door well I was comparing 2 way 6x9 to a 3 way, I hadn't researched them yet. Apparently they have not just a tweeter & woofer but also a mid range for a much better sound.

I am probably going to go back & pick them up because I did a search online and couldn't find any 3 way's as cheap as I found them at the store close but couldn't match the good discount.

Does anyone have any experience with 3 way 6x9's?

I run a pair of 3 way 6x9's powered by a 300 watt amp for my mp3 player. Have them in two different boxes under the front deck. I have been told they sound great.

I saw this at west marine the other day, thought it was a pretty cool idea. Has a built in otter box type compartment behind the radio face so it plays your ipod and also keeps it housed internally away from elements and without having to run a plugin to the reciever. little pricey, but not ruining my ipod and having to replace it more than pays for itself.

i see a lot of guys mounting speakers under the forward storage compartment, that sh!t makes me nervous since I store my fuel in there as well. i like the idea of putting it in a cooler or gunbox a little better.
