I've been looking for stainless steel speaker covers to replace the stock plastic ones on my 232.  I contacted Rinker about the ones they're putting on the new boats and they want $75 per speaker cover (too pricey).  I found this one which is $28 per cover and they look pretty similar (http://www.prime-industries.biz/servlet/the-345/Speaker-Cover,-Stainless-Steel/Detail).  Just wondering if anyone has found anything more economical.  I saw a previous post on the stainless cup holders for $8.99 and thought these would pair fairly nicely.

At 28 bucks that is a great deal.  I never thought of replacing mine as the last time I looked they were close to 150...I didn't liek that number at all.  Considering steel prices in general, these seem like a great deal and I'm ordering a set myself.  Thanks for the link.   thumbsup thumbsup thumbsup

I'm not going to be installing them until spring of next year.  I plan on doing the speaker covers with the stainless cup holders.  Should really make a difference. 

This is under the description on the speaker covers:

Installation guidelines:
1. Measure the plastic cover originally installed. Compare the dimensions to make sure the holes are 6-1/4” apart (center to center)
2. Measure the outside diameter of the plastic cover - should be about 7”
3. Measure the height of the plastic cover - should be no more than 1” If all dimensions are OK, then take off the original plastic cover and replace it with the Stainless Steel Speaker Cover.
4. Secure with the (2) two screws.
