I know several have installed mid cabin speakers in their newer 24' boats..... I've seen pictures of the location on the port side, but don't remember seeing them on the starboard side.
Also, those that have done tower speakers.... Any tips on wiring through the newer towers. More specifically, is there already holes at the bottom of the tower that are accessible when the tower is folded. (haven't folded my tower yet to check) or do you drill holes the exit the tower and then drill the hull to enter the boat?

Here's a flashback to a write up if my install.
Upgraded the stereo again. Added a second pair of JL tower. Now the 4 tower speakers run off their own 4 channel amp with separate volume control so they can be cranked for boarders to hear. Also added 2 additional 6.5" speakers mid ship. Thru this experience I have reached a new level of intimacy with my boat. I've become familiar with it's many hidden gaps and crevices.
