Go wireless! I've seen the wireless remotes but I believe they're only compatible with certain brands.... something like this

i installed one on the back of our old Baja. Used it alot to mute real quick to talk to kids. Debating if i want to install one on Cig. Now that i have an Alpine wireless keyfob im not sure one on back provides much value.

Holes, what holes?



The remote is off to the right with the fancy white cover.

I absolutly love this set up. We often back up to an island where we hang out fo rthe day, and this is the perfect set up.

Low PSI - what model speakers are they - I trust water is not hurting them.

They are/were Polk Audio's. They are marine rated speakers and up until yesterday they were working great. However the tweeters blew on both yesterday @ Jobbie Nooner. I am thinking they were warm and got hit with cold rain.......
