T top Speaker enclosures, Boxes.....

viperkiller · 02-03-2008, 04:35 PM

I just ordered my 2008 Triumph 190 Bay with T- Top and electronics box and I'm looking for advice in the stereo department.

I know that I saw an electronics box somewhere that had speaker enclosures on the sides. Does anyone know where I could find this?

OR: who makes good speaker enclosures that will clamp on 1.9" OD tubing (T top tubing) ?

I was planning on running 4 speakers, 1 on each side of the console and two facing rearward off the t top. Any opinions or insight on this?

Also I was planning on going with the Sony CDX-HS70MW Head unit.... Opinions?

I am undecided on the speakers: I understand the JL's are the top spot, but I wont be running an amp. Because I wont be running an amp I don't feel l will use there expensive potential!

Some input on a quality sounding set of speakers for a decent price would be appreciated. Sony? Clarion? Infinity? JBL?

Also, is there any far superior VHF radio for a reasonable price? I wont use it often but would like a good one.

Lastly I decided to go with the Humminbird 797cSi Combo NVB (with side imaging) any thoughts on this unit?

Thanks in advance!

Is this what you were looking for?

If so, check out http://www.ssicustomplastics.com. Also, JL Audio has some nice rail mounted speaker enclosures, but I'm not sure what size tubing they can connect to.

As for the head unit, I'd stick with Clarion--I have an older model and like it, and am contemplating getting the new CMD5. Also, rethink your speakers-Generally, the more capable the speaker (in wattage), the better they will sound with low power amplifiers (or receivers). To be honest, any 15-20wx4 powered head unit alone(as most head units are) with no amp won' tsound that great with any speaker at high volumes.

Good luck

that is similar to what I was thinking, and in fact that would be a nice box, but I don't think it will fit between the vert posts on my t top

Thanks

Triumph buys from SSI already..... You could see if they could get this one for you... It would match the rest of their parts on the boat...

Interesting- do you know ssi parts they use on their boats?

Now that i got my hopes up on that overhead box, I find out that they don't have them in stock and the minimum order is 10. So all i've gotta do now is find 9 other people that need one!

any more suggestions?

SWFLNavigation - You say T-tops but I think those are for Wakeboard towers. I know when I looked into that previously the clamps were too large a diameter for most t-tops.

SWFLNavigation · 02-07-2008, 06:36 PM

KDCane, those pod's better not be on any wakeboard towers cause we make these. JL makes these

I would use these and a pair of speakers
and call it a day and leave the e box off.
