I ran across this a few years ago; your idea carried to the extreme: http://www.royak.com/boat-note.shtml "...a pair of top quality matched water-resistant 6" X 9"...speakers are seated in acoustically sound speaker enclosures designed by Royak engineers specifically for the purpose of pushing brilliant high-volume / undistorted sound, both above and across the surface of the water. The speakers are separated with a fully insulated acoustic divider which is integrated into the hull (see diagram below). This boat creates a unique sound quality through the use of this acoustic separation and through the submergence of the speaker enclosures under the water's surface. It's really an amazing sound!" *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
