Wetsounds XS-808's in a R20?

[13R20]

My Tige has the basic stereo, (4) XS-650's off the head unit. I am adding the XS10FA, (2) amps, and tower speakers. I would like to add a couple more in-boats and I thought it would be nice to add a pair of the XS-808's if I can fit them somewhere.

So that is the question, where would be the best place to add a pair of XS-808's in an R20?

on the same floor panel below the seats the Xs-650s are but as far forward as you can go...while remaining behind the driver.

I assume you mount them opposite of each other then. Where I have the (1) in this picture. If you say they would fit, I could mount the first one behind the driver in that location and then stagger the other one, where I have the (2). Do you see any benefit by not having them directly across from each other?Screen-Shot-2015-04-01-at-2.46.00-PM.jpg

I placed them opposite of each other... I don't think it would hurt to place one behind the driver and one in the "2" position. Personally I would test it, Place the speaker up against that area, wire them up temporarily but don't drill holes or anything and listen to them. walk around the boat and see if your goal is reached.

I added additional XS650's in the bow of my R20 which turned out to be great for people riding up front. As for the tower I have two Exile SXT9Q surf speakers. The surf tower speakers added a lot to the sound in the boat. They also have the swivel mount to turn them any direction you want. I also added a sub by the driver can't remember the model and size right now. Not exactly answering your question but maybe it will be helpful. I attached a picture of the bow speakers on my phone. Sorry it is under the boat cover was trying to get a good picture of the speaker rings but it will give you an idea of where I placed them.

Wondering if you ever went ahead with the 808 install and if so, what you thought about having them both on one side?
