replacement speakers for 340 Sundancer

Pictures or it didn't happen

Hear ya go. The 6.5’s are in the arch and the 7’s are upfront by the helm.
I’d have put the 7’s in the arch too, but I think they are 1/8’s too deep and don’t want to have to use spacers.

Nice. I have the M608 in my 320. I mostly use the remote at the helm and wireless RF remote. Haven't had any issues with BT delay using Spotify. For the zone select you just push the ff key while in volume mode and it advances to the next zone. I don't use the cabin zone much either. Fusion is definitely easier to navigate though. I have 4 JL mx650's and a 10" sub with a m700/5 amp. I like the 2 770's in the cockpit. You put a sub
and 5 channel amp with that and it would be even more killer.

Craig, how do you like your setup?
Where is your sub?

I’m getting ready to completely redo mine.

It sounds great. Very happy. In hindsight I would have done the MX770 in the cockpit. didnt think of it till i was done. but no big deal. plenty of bass. Very crisp. Friends have the M series and HD amp and I can't tell enough difference to justify double the price.

sub is under the port lounge.

Is that the 175W sub?
Not much difference in the 6.5 and 7.7 speakers. 10w and 1db sensitivity

10w and 1db sensitivity

Those are not the real story. the 7.7 is about 28% more surface are then a 6.5". This = more output (volume), greater power handling (for even more volume gain) and deeper mid-bass extension. This audible when compared side by side.

Yes MX10IB3

I just measured the space in my arch where my 6.5's are. The shortest depth is 3.5". The 7.7's measure 3.15". That's good. I'm thinking of adding (2) 7.7's where the 6.5's are and moving up the 6.5's on the arch. THEN.. adding a set of 8.8's. One under the helm seat and the other next to the 10" sub. That's my 2 year plan so far..

and the other next to the 10" sub.

If this a 10IB, you will not want it ad the 880 sharing the same air space. The rear output of the woofer will have a negative impact on the mid-bass cone of the 880.

Good point. There is a lot of open space in there. Didn't think there will be a problem. I'll rethink. What about an additional 8" sub under the helm seat? Give it a little more bass.

 

[suss1173]

FWIW- I don’t know much about stereo stuff. But I can say the 7’s Sound richer-fuller then the 6’s.

I might have to re-measure the depth on my arch, b/c if the 7’s fit w/o spacers, I’d replace the 6’s with the 7’s.
(Fortunately I still have the box’s and WM would take them back).

If there is room, id put a matching 10 right next to the first, rather then a smaller woofer somewhere else. This avoids phasing issue with woofers on different planes.

However, if these 2 woofer locations are well divided by the interior layout, phasing should not be an issue with them in different locations. Id still go with a 10" if there is room to mount it.

I'll take some pictures later of the places I have available and start a new thread. Didn't mean to jump all over his. I don't have the space for another 10.

Yours I'm sure is a little different. Mines an 04. I took the tape measure and it was at 4" towards the stern and 3.5 at toward the bow part. The speaker says 3.15 so it SHOULD fit. we'll see...
