Just looking for some help on speaker choice and location, I've a 22 cruiser and finding a location for speakers without affection vision and taking up valuable storage area has been difficult, any help from the more experienced in this area would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much.
 
Some put the speakers thru the electronics shelf over the foreward cabin. I have used small box speakers in both the front and back corners of the cabin--at the top. Now as for subwoofers? no suggestions!
 
I had speakers mounted in the electronics shelf. I could never get my Azimuth Flux Gate compass to read accurately. After replacing the speakers with enclosures in the far corners of the helm area, the compass is fairly close. I have noticed it is mounted directly over the metal curtain track for the bunk curtain. Next project! :?

Speakers for what? VHF? Stereo? Both?

If it's for the VHF, put it someplace near your best ear! No matter what it's for, keep it/them as far from a magnetic compass as you can. Otherwise, you'll always be going the same direction!! :shock:

I've located my front speakers under each side of the shelf above the helm; I guess they call this the electronics shelf. See pictures in my album. I used the same location for the VHF and Stereo. In the rear cockpit area I mounted the speakers under and inside of the port and starboard storage indents, pointing down. You can’t really see them, but they sound OK and it keeps them out of the weather.

I mounted mine along the window seam - one on each side. I used window frame screws to hold speaker bracket. They are out of the way and do not affect visibility.
 
Thanks for the help all, I located the stereo speakers in the seat bases and am quite happy with the results, The seat bases act as a speaker box and help give a nice full sound, also the speakers are down low so as not to blare in your face. :D
