A bathtub, and in particular, a whirlpool bathtub or spa, is provided with an upwardly extending surrounding wall portion or surrounding collar at the sitting end of the tub. The collar is preferably formed of plastic as an integral unit with the plastic bathtub wall, and has a plurality of apertures formed therein for the mounting of speakers therein. The speakers, once mounted within the apertures, surround the sitting area of the bathtub. The speaker apertures are placed above the overflow of the bathtub. The speaker apertures are sealed at the rear by a baffle plate, to form one or more acoustic chambers. Overlying the speaker apertures is an open grillwork. The speakers are connected to a sound producing system, such as a radio, tape deck or cassette. The sitting area is thus surrounded by rearwardly enclosed multiple speakers, mounted above the waterline, the speakers being integrated into an upward extension of a bathtub wall by means of the integrally formed speaker apertures. The speakers are further protected by grillwork and drainage channels to minimize contact with water.
