    the speakers are good, I like to listen to them while cruising, I can still hear them while fishing but I have to turn it up a bit more.

    I have a 21' boat and ordered 30' of carpet, I ended up with about 7' left over but I didn't do the rod boxes. the carpet is from Bass Cat.

    carpet looks awesome, im starting a resto project of my own and will be adding the carpet pad also. the reason i am writing you is because i want to add a radio in my boat that has never had won, is this possible and how would i go about doing it.

    putting a radio is not a big deal really, the hardest part is finding flat spots to mount the head unit and speakers. the radio installation manuals are pretty easy to follow, basically, 3 wires for the head unit and two sets of 2 to the speakers.

    Another option for a radio is to not use a head unit at all. All I did was mount an amp to power the speakers and I plug my ipod into the amp and there you have it 5,000 songs to listen to all day.
