I added blue leds to the swim platform and Polks. I was very surprised to hear how much better the Polks were compared to the stock sony speakers.
The LED's are sweet. I will unload some photos.

How the heck did you get the seat backs off to replace your Sony's?? I bought some JBL's, but can't get the Sony's out without removing the glass/plastic mounting piece that holds speaker and cup holders.

Where did you get your LED's for the swim platform and how much were they? I am considering getting some for my boat, but need some good suggestions to go from. Also, any advise on how to install them would be great. I am a little worried about holes in my hull.

I'd like to see some pics of your amp installation also!

I will say that I was able to replace the Sony speakers with thje Polks wihout removing any seat backs, but I was a bit of a contortion act...

I am not the do it your self type so I have been talking to my audio delears who now carries the LED under water lights. He says I need 2 pairs mounted on each side of the outdrive. His brand is Shadow-Caster. The Shadow-Caster comes in 2 shades of blue, red, green and a white. The white and the bimini blue will be the brightest, fallowed by the Ultra blue (almost purple) green then red. The 10-LED units run $1100 for a pair installed, the 6-LED run $900 for a pair installed and the 4-LED run $825.00 for a pair installed.
I am leaning toward the bimimi blue 10-LED. Has anyone done this?

EvilZ -- I'm OK with contorting a bit. to get to the nuts on the bottom two speaker bolts did you reach up through the seat bottom or something? I couldn't figure out how to get to them from the top.

Bow or stern speakers? I'll have to refresh my memory by looking at my setup.

I'll check, but if memory serves, I reached up from the back of the storage compartments.

I was out on the boat last weekend and yes, I went up and behind the panel from the storage areas under the seats.

Thanks -- following your previous post I checked that technique and it worked out well. Had to order 1/2" spacers to give needed depth to my JBL's, though. Just one of those "simple" projects gone all sideways. Thanks for the tip!
