"Jay" wrote in message ... So I finally found a set of speakers that seemed like a good enough deal and they came in last week. I'm wondering if anyone has any input/experience installing speakers. They aren't flush mount which needs I'll need to be cutting a few holes... some of my curiosity lies in wondering if there's any certain saw blades one should use for cutting fiberglass.... I was going to just drill a few holes to start a hand jig saw... maybe tape up the area with duck tape to avoid scratching.. other than that I didn't really know if there was anything one should take precaution with. Also, though they weigh a couple pounds each, should I worry much about providing some of support to the backing... like a brace to dissipate weight on the fiberglass walls? TIA -j Always cover the face of the cut/drill area with duct tape...it reduces the likelihood of the gelcoat chipping. You say these are not flushmount speakers so I assume they are already installed in boxes and the brackets for the boxes are what you will be attaching to the boat. I would consider some sort of backing strap or plate the help support the brackets. Large washers are another consideration. |
