Default good place to mount a PA speaker??

got a PA system from my buddy and now I need to try to find a spot where it wont get submerged in water so I cant put it under the jeep. I was thinking either engine bay or maybe somewhere behind grille?


any ideas?

I had mine tucked next to the firewall on the pass side but you wouldn't hear crap from a distance. I moved it now to a spot in my bumper where it is a clear sound. It also depends on the speaker you use too and if waterproof, most are.

I have mine mounted behind the front bumper cap. It gets dunked in water all the time and still holds up fine. Then again mine is waterproof for just that reason.


Used to have mine mounted under the hood and it wasn't loud enough for my liking.
