On my 2005 185 the speakers are mounted here:
I'm not exactly an audiophile but I'm pretty sure that speakers sound better and give better response when mounted in an enclosure. Given the limited space behind this panel I came up with this:
This is a plastic bowl that I found at a dollar store...perfect fit. Here it is installed:
I found out that the bowls are a bit on the brittle side, we'll see how long they hold up. I used "Liquid Nails" to seal the bowl to the wood.
As for the sound; it sounds a bit better and can be turned up louder than before without distorting. It's good enough for me. We had some 50 degree weather here in Michigan so I just had to find something to do on the boat. Not bad for $2.
