Marine mat done, now to audio looking for tips

[jpoey2210]

New to the site, new to Yamaha! Picked up my 195 FSH sport and the first order of business was marine mat. Turned out great IMO.

Second project was adding my Lowrance 9”, done and fits great.

Now, I MUST upgrade this basic oem Jensen 2 speaker setup. But, having trouble finding a place for 2 more speakers.

Anyone had success adding speakers to the 190/195? I could go under gunnels or perhaps sacrifice the bow cooler for 2 more.
Any ideas are appreciated!

Looks great! Where did you get the marine mat from?

Looks Great!

I’m new to Yamaha as well and my first upgrade is going to be Marine Mat. What color did you use?

Looks great! that's the same pattern combo I went with. I wish someone would have done it before me so I could have seen it before I purchased. I was nervous doing the 2 inch teak in the swim platform with the pinline on aft walk area. Very happy with how it turned out though and yours looks just as good!

I would also like a new head unit recommendation. Not looking for anything spectacular. The Bluetooth on my stock unit sucks. I'd like to be able to move my phone around the deck without it breaking up.

I tend to go over the top with my audio installs, so it really depends what your budget is, how loud, how clear etc. What is your feeling with tower speakers? If you don't want that you could just cut the holes bigger in the helm and put 2 8.8 inch JL M6's that would be plenty loud if you looking to listen just on the boat.

If you really don't want anything spectacular, you came to the wrong forum, @Sherwood ...these guys are ready to spend your money!

I just try and buy equipment that will last the life of my boat. I will admit I do tend to go to the extreme, but I don't offer anything I wouldn't buy of have not bought.

@Sherwood I know its pricy but I have the JL MM105 and the Bluetooth works from the beach when I have the boat anchored off shore.
