[ATTACH=full]111920[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]111921[/ATTACH]I had a lot of space under the aluminum bow plate, so what the heck, why not install a stereo!  I found a Kicker marine stereo on Amazon as well as reasonably priced marine speakers:[ATTACH=full]111922[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]111923[/ATTACH]I had to go and buy some more plywood so I could make plate to mount the speakers, but I only used 1/2 inch.  I sealed it, added a cut out so I could maybe store a small anchor in the space, and carpeted it.  I installed and wired the speakers which fit the space well.[ATTACH=full]111926[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]111928[/ATTACH]Boat's still not quite done, but not a heck a whole lot left to do.......</blockquote>
