Looking to add speakers to a 2007 40 PC with IPS and hydraulic platform. I want to be able to have sound in the water and the volume not so loud in the cockpit! Has anyone done this or have input on a good way to do this?

Haven't tried it but you might want to wire the same as forward stateroom speakers with thier own volume control

not real sure what your transom looks like, maybe you could post a pic?? there are several boats at my marina with speakers mounted in the transom and most of them look really good. you don't mention if you're replacing your head unit or what kind it is but Fusion and Kenwood both make a unit that has seperate zone volume controls. each of them can be worked via a wired remote (or two if you choose) so that would give you the ability to isolate your rear speakers if/when you prefer to do so and depending on where you mounted the remote(s), you wouldn't even have to get out of the water. as far as actually mounting speakers, i'm not familiar enough with your boat to give any advice on that. is there something in particular that is worrying you about doing it other than cutting a 6" hole in your nice shiny fiberglass? just be sure to check clearances and access for speaker fit and wiring.

The goal is not to change the Head Unit! I have considered it though! I have also considered Zoning the speakers using the old school Dimmer switch Volume Switches that Formula used to use to provide separate Volume control to the Cockpit from the cabin on the SS and smaller PC line! Trying to keep it simple as possible for now! What worries me about mounting on the transom seams to be a sort of bulkhead right behind the the outer hull one is into the engine room the other is a separator into the transom storage trunk! Not sure if there is enough clearance just yet! Here is a picture of A 40 PC from 07' Not my boat as I don't have a picture handy but the same transom! I've noted where I've considered for now! The two different color represent different Idea's... I just want to make sure I do this right and it doesn't look Rigged! I want it to look factory!
