Hey Fellas,
I bought a new-old boat this spring, I love it and I got it for a steal!
I've spent a lot of money upgrading all the rod holders and electronics and now I need to install the stereo. I love having some tunes on the water and I bought a Fusion Ipod stereo system and it has 2 - 6" speakers. The boat is a 1995 and sure functional and I love the layout, but that layout is all business and leaves virtually no room for mounting speakers or stereo other than the stereo in the dash and one of the speakers in the console below the horn (see pics) and the other under console pointing towards rear casting deck.
I'm not concerned cutting into the glass and about messing it up for resale (should I be?) as I'll keep the boat for awhile and adding a stereo if aesthetically installed shouldn't hurt.
Thank you in advance for your input as well as pointers, I plan on taping the area off, using a fine jigsaw blade at slower speed and I have good templates.

Thanks,

MS

Jambox blue tooth wireless speaker works for me. Take it anywhere. No stress and no cutting. Perfect for boat tunes. Mounted it with Velcro right on my dash.

Don't have the blade speed slow, just your moving of the saw should be slow. Cutting is very easy, the only bad thing is if you want to change something later you have the holes to deal with, so just think it thru before cutting

I used a hole saw to install these, I was terrified too but it turned out fine.
