Speaker Location.....Help!!!

scguy · 07-11-2011, 01:25 PM

Has anyone installed speakers in the rear access panel over the motor. I have a 2005 PDS and want to add 2 more speakers (I already have 2 in the kick panel) and was wondering if this would work. I have a diamond plate cover that thought that I could get 2 6" speakers to fit. What do you guys think? Does anyone have pictures? If so, how does it sound, and have you had problems keeping water and dirt out of them? Thanks for the help!

Don't see why not. Get some marine speaker and water and dirt will not be a problem

Should work, remove your rear access panel and check your depth to make sure. You could always fab up a way to block water/dirt from hitting the speaker from below, like with some type of hard plastic or something.

This was on my Yamaha, but same premise.....

I always liked this idea! Cut the back out of the seat to fit the speaker. They sounded pretty good to.

My only issue is if it rains or you wash the cart how do you keep water from filling them up like a cup?

Build a box and put the speakers in it. Just make it to where you can take it out when you wash the cart or it rains. Here is a pic. of what I did. Hope this helps?

I ended up with a piece of sheet metal in the bottom of the basket that would shed the water away from them.

Hey Spawn, that is a good looking cart. Got anymore pics of the cart?

What about putting 2 5 1/4's under the cup holder (facing down), I saw somebody here do that, it was a very clean install. Out of the way, out of sight, and won't become a vibrating pool of water if it rains.
