Upgrading the exterior speakers.

Added 200 Watt marine grade Sony's two years ago and they are outstanding. They fit inside the existing space no problem.

I'm looking at upgrading the lousy exterior speakers and upgrading them from 5 1/4 to 8 inch marine grade speakers. The problem I have is that the new speakers are too deep, so it looks like I will have to cut out a hole on the interior wall and build a small box and waterproof it to cover the backside of the speaker (luckily both will be in a cabinet). Is there any reason why I should not do this? Thanks.

Well, in my WW there is already a factory cut out and box made on the inside of the TH for the speakers. So can't see a problem if you have to make one yourself. Obviously, just do a quality job, since there will probably be a lot of vibration in and around that box.

My speaker boxes are not inside a cabinet and are trimmed out with the same wall board as the rest of the inside of TH and look fine, don't even notice them. In fact took me months till I even noticed them and figured out what they were... lol

That's what I figured, not too many speaker out there that have a depth of less than 2 inches that are worth anything. I guess I need to take a look in some of the newer THs to see haw they did it.

Laminated plywood will work. Or even painted. Good one side or look at buying some Birch ply. Leave the back off and make them larger than your speakers so you can attach some small angle inside the sides of the box and against the wall of the hailer. Then attach the back (should be recessed into the sides) of the box you make and use some small trim head/finish screws to attach it the back would be an easy way to do it.

So before you make issues about loud music etc. know that unless you go with them camping, you'll probably never hear them.

Last year at pismo we had a visit from the rangers about our music volume, it was after midnight, no amplified sound after that time....It was just country music.

That camp had all three groups....Hooligans, Ratz and Glamis Dune Ballers

Goodtimes!!!!

Dude you on crack aint no country on my stuff....

I had some pretty good JVC's on my old WW just under 2-1/2 inch depth and sounded good.
What I have now are infinity's up top that peek thruough the back into the cabinet and closit so I built boxes on the interior.
My bottoms are inside a door I take you dont have that option? their not marine reguler mb quart because they sound better than marine stuff.
Lots of amp :B
