speaker placement

hey guys i proably should have known better when installing my speakers behind me knowing i would really only be hearing the speaker by my left ear, but im hard headed like that, long story short i moved my speakers fro the back of the cage using the same pipe cap enclosures to the kick panels and it made 100% difference, i thought it sounded good before but it was just wishfull thinking not being happy i decide to move them and wow, just food for thought.

those speakers would be toast after 1 ride in my rhino. that part of my rhino is usually under water...lol

that's why I mounted them on the cage first, but i'm hardly ever in water over 24" and they are considered marine grade

if they are marine grade no problems, how do you think SSV does it and has made millions $$$$. glad you got it figured out Mick, now you can enjoy your RAP shit! bet your an m&m and Vanilla Ice guy since he they are white..lmao

Cool pics. Thanks for posting!

My SSV stereo has been good to me. I get it soaking wet nearly every ride and then it gets soaking wet when I wash my Rhino. Though I do not spray water from my hi pressure washer onto my SSV speaker bar, I do squirt it off regularly with a garden hose and my thumb. It keeps on ticking for over two years now. Marine grade has been good for that application. I am not sure how it would hold up submerged, and my kick panels are often submerged for extended periods as we park in the water and listen to the stereo in the summer. My gut feeling is that they handle being submerged just fine (though you wouldn't hear them lol), and the speakers would be fine so long as the gasket sealing the speaker to the enclosure and the enclosure itself did not leak.

Still, I think the lower speakers like that would sound real good. Thanks again for posting the pics.

i'm a little more into ac/dc,mettalica, classic rock from the 60's ,70's and some 80's , but I am alittle older,

by the way jp what happened to the pic of the family comfort ride in your avatar,or are you changing  rides, kinda did like a little ice ice baby,     

been listening to a little too much "tiny dancer"...lol...how is my new one?

LMAO   

How'd you mount it to the kick panel?

I've had that mount once. They work good. And if you had a quality marine speaker you can dunk them underwater. Only issue I had is when I was in a hurry to get out, I'd pop the grill off the speaker with my feet. Also, if they not sealed 100% they will fill up with sand and mud if they go underwater. 

You can use a 6" PVC cap to do the same. Make some little L brackets to bolt it to the kick panel. Easy install.

these are the 6' pvc caps that I had on the roll cage , just move the to the kick panel and bolted through
