Speaker placement (in cabin)
Speaker placement (in cabin)
I ordered a couple of Fusion MS-FR6021 (http://www.fusionelectronics.com/marine ... /ms-fr6021) speakers (to be used with a Fusion MS-RA50). I want to mount the head unit next to the chart table. Finding a suitable place (in the cabin) to mount the speakers is proving to be a bit of a challenge. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

I placed 5.25" speakers in the small bulkheads above the shelf. Those fusions are 6" but should fit without problem.

Mounting the speakers in the small bulkheads is very high on my list of possible locations

Hey,
we mounted 16cm (6,3") Helix speakers in that small bulkheads in 2010.
After sailing about 3500 miles since then, everything is fine with our bulkheads. I don´t think you have to worry about the strength.
Sorry for no better picture

Is triangles.
You can cut the center out of a triangle with surprisingly little loss of strength. (Hence, geodesic domes. Most of your forces migrate out to the edges.) Looking good, Mads!

Re: Speaker placement (in cabin)
Lots of ideas coming up all the time. Newest are to replace all sliding doors with smoke-coloured acrylic and glue teak/coto veneer on the steps and top step/hatch.dahlke wrote:How is the painting/varnishing coming along?Looking forward to seeing more pictures

I had to move outside because too much dust entered the rest of our house (not so popular

Installed them 1994 and have done 10.000+ miles and some heavy offshore races. And you won't be disappointed with the bass sounddahlke wrote:Have you had your speakers mounted in that location for a long time?

Re: Speaker placement (in cabin)
We replaced our sliding doors with coloured acryl. It looks nice and kind of modern:-)
Because of the mirror effect, the kitchen area looks bigger.
And again I have no better picture, its a snapshot from a video...
