I'm going to start to tackle adding some walkway speakers and panels into my T23, just like the Bu's have them. My speakers just came in in, just waiting on the recessed/angled mounts from Malibu and have to get some plastic to make the panels. Just wondering if anyone has tackled this project before?

Not sure what you mean but I added speakers in my walkway. I don't have an axis though but this is where I put them. I'm interested to see what you mean by a panel?

Here are some pictures on what I'm talking about. You can see that Malibu has a panel with a recessed speaker and the Axis doesn't have anything. Ill be adding a panel to my axis with a recessed speaker on both sides of the walkway. This is not a picture of my boat, just another T23 that my deal has.

I like the angle of the Malibu speakers. Otherwise your just blasting music into fiberglass 2 feet away...

chaser720,that is the reason that I'm doing it this way. Also I could not find and recessed pods that looked good. I'm sure its not going to be easy, but in the end I think it will look good. Ill keep everyone updated as I get started. First step is getting over to my boat to take some measurements!

The malibu walkway speakers sound terrible. You would be much much much (is that enough muches?) better served by moving the speakers to be oriented to the captain, as I did with my 2014 LSV.

The only way the malibu walkway speakers sound decent is if you are sitting in the walkway, wearing those 6.5"s like headphones.

Well, As they say: Nothing goes as planned! I received the speaker recess boxes from Malibu and they are way to large for an axis. So I will not be recessing them in anymore. My thought is to just cut 2 holes and mount them in the fiberglass. BrettLee3232: How does your sound? Any issues with it sounds off because the 2 speakers are firing directly at each other? I was going to mount 1 on each side. What does everyone think?

The malibu recessed boxes sound awful, but at least the speakers kinda fire towards the cabin. If you just fire walkway speakers at each other it's only going to be worse, and won't make a difference unless you are sitting in the walkway in between the speakers.
