Where's the best place for Speaker Pod Setup? Any Pics? Amp/speaker details?

[xk49]

I'm trying to piece together a amp and speaker pods for my 21 F3S. The amp will obviously go into the front trunk, but I'm trying to figure out where to best mount a set of marine speaker pods. This is the kit I think I'm going with. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500PSSSX01/Alpine-PSS-SX01.html


Anyone care to show me a picture of your custom mounting for an F3. I'm not interested in the SSV/Kicker system for the F3 because of the numerous complaints on sound quality and loudness.

Also, if you care to share your amp/speaker setup that would be a plus. I'm not tied to the Alpine system above, but it was one of the few that I found that was nearly a complete setup with bluetooth.

I mounted my 4" speakers on either side of the windscreen, using existing screw holes.

300 watt amp is self contained in the right speaker pod.



The unit is reasonably priced at ~$90 on Amazon

It's all good up to 50 MPH or so, then wind noise makes it hard to hear.

If I were to redo it, I'd get at least a 500 Watt system

I don't think the amount of WATTs is the issue .... I have a 14 RT with Four 5.25 in. JBL 2 ohm speakers and the OEM Radio .... ( which is rated at 18 watts ) .... Even at 80 MPH I don't have to use full volume to hear the clear sound from the speakers ..... Mike :thumbup:

F3S Speakers

I got my speakers from Amazon, same with the Amp. Sounds decent, even at highway speeds. If you're wanting something better, you'll need bluetooth ear buds! I had to fabricate mounts for the speakers, they're stable.

I don't think any speakers would give a superior sound compared to almost any old helmet speakers while at highway speeds. (Plus nobody else has to endure my music).
