Wheelhouse speakers

[riverwader]

What is everyone doing on their wheelhouse for speakers?  I want to do the 2 outdoor and 4 inside, but I am unsure as to the depth of the speakers.  Does everyone make spacers for the ceiling ones?  For the outdoor ones do you have a bump out inside the fish house?  I am thinking with the wall and the fir strip it will be way too shallow.

You can buy shallow mount speakers for a couple extra bucks, but making a bumpout inside isn't to bad.  We put ours in the corners in the back with a 45'd wood box.  The front are in the bathroom wall so there was room there.  Going to throw in some outside ones next summer and for those I'm planning on shaving out the sprayfoam and just packing insulation in behind them.  They will be mounted behind cabinets so shouldn't lose to much heat.  Outside if they don't fit I will be buying the plastic pre-made spacers, don't want wood out there.

Thank you, that helps a lot.

No problem, if your looking for something pre-made just google 'speaker spacer rings'.  There are a million options for different sized speakers all pretty cheap.
