Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Who has or wants the baddest stereo system in there boat! Which company's do the nicest install's in the St. Louis/LOTO area?

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

There was a 29 outlaw that had a freakin big stereo in it. i think i have some pics of it.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

yea here it is

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Are you serious???? :D :evilb: :drink: :evilb:

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

There must have been a sale on speakers !! LOL

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

The best stereo comes out of the transom in the form of 2,4 OR 6 tailpipes "THE LOUDER THE BETTER"

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I see a lot of boats with big amps, subs, flat screens, etc. My question is how does that stuff hold up to the harsh boating environment. I have a simple am/fm/cd with 4 round speakers. I have to replace my speakers this year because all 4 of them broke. The way I run my boat I don't expect all that stuff would survive for long.

Oh, and that Baja is just plain retarded. My .02

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

That's pretty sweet!!! But I don't think it's the system I want.
I have 4 6 1/2" Sonys and I just bought a 50X2 Alpine AMP for the 6 1/2's.

I also purchased a secondhand sub box with 2 10's and a Kenwood amp. Thinking of putting that in the boat too.

JML Audio is a good friend of mine and they just did a very nice install on a 31ft larson. It can be seen at, http://jmlaudio.com/boats.htm check out the custom plexiglass work they can do!

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

It's all about placement...and I bet you need that many speakers in order for that boat to sound decent since boats are all wide open.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

for the cig we got off of miscellaneous sites new stereo parts waaay cheaper. we got 8 mbquart 6.5s, 2 clarion waterproof marine amps, xmd3 head unit, mbquart 10 or 12 in sub, and a clarion 6 cd changer, not the loudest set-up, but good quality, and hopefully will last.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I SHOULD OF NEVER SOLD THAT BOAT.. ITS UNBIELIEVABLE.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

with one pair of speakers I can make a boat sound better and louder then the one with all those speakers in it. if you have any questions you can call me.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Wow, could that boat even get on plane with all that weight in it :rolleyes: :D

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

like that ultra from the tv show that spun a prop trying to get on plane :eek:

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

:eek: :eek: wtf holly speaker

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Runnin 2 pair of MB Quart 6 1/2 components with a soundstream rubicon 502 on them. and 2 JL 10w3v2d4's under the back seat enclosed with a Rubicon 702. Sounds pretty good but could use a couple more subs in the nose.
Overall pretty clear and precise :cool:

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Well I had a few left over amps I put in my car trailer :rolleyes: I am still adding to the Hustler :D

Hi-Fi-Fo-Fum out of St. L did my Seebold and they did a great job.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

the small black linear is the best amp you have in that group, it has the to3 transistors in it.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

looks like a 2002, I have a 8001 linear sub amp if you need a match for that amp.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Yea I ve been running the Linear's for a while .I wish they were still in Biz.I have a few 2.2's in the boat also.Its more than enough for the car trailer though:D

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I need some help on a stereo. 36' baja outlaw. I would like it to be crisp at 60mph, and sound good in the cove.

where should i start?

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

how much do you want to spend?

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

3-5k. I have a few parts, dont know if any are any good to use with the setup.

2- jl 10w6's
1 sony xplode amp, 5 channel, ill get the model but its like 40 inches long.
a couple of ppi amps, i think one is 100x4

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT. BUT I HAVE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT YOU.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Actually bigyellowcat is correct. Since that Baja has so many speakers they will cancel each other out and it will sound like a big mess of sound...with one set of speakers you can have perfect staging and it will sound clean and clear.....

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

Is there anyone in the Grand Lake Are that would be willing to come over to the marina and fix my stereo?

I had a Kenwood marine Deck that shorted out! I replaced it with another Kenwood Marine deck an now my clarion external remotes and CD Changer will not work?

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

ACTUALLY BIGYELLOWCAT IS WRONG THEY DID NOT CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT AS WE ADDED WE HIT HIGHER AND CLEARER DB'S I WOULD PUT THAT BOAT AGAINST ANY OTHER INCLUDING BIG YELLOW CATS. IT WILL PLAY LONGER CLEARER AND LOUDER THEN YOU THINK...ps not bieng rude. just stating the fact. ask anyone who has been near it..

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

not trying to get on anyones side here, but my guess is if you took the time to hook all those speakers up with that clean an installation, you would probably know how to set em to sound good....

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

They may, they may not. If done correctly then no.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

that is something I do not take lightly, when someone tells me I am wrong about audio. this will take a minuite.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

if you are referring to line array technology, then they are incorrect due to center to center spacing and horizontal plane.

has that guy ever heard of comb filtering?

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I think there is a BIG one coming. :D

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

the installer probably knows but i dont have any clue what is it.?

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I have to go to a meeting but I will get back to this later tonight.

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

I am refering to the possibility that maybe he got it right either by luck or design.

I use Line Arrays all the time so here's my take on it. That amount of speakers will form a line array but only up to a certain frequency. In order to have what we in the concert business call a practical line array, (up to 16khz or so) the components must be equal to or closer than the wavelength of the highest desired frequency. The higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength. Wavelength = speed of sound/freq. Since the speed of sound varies, I'll use a practical speed of 1130 feet per second, that's at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. That would make a 16khz wave about 8/10 of an inch long. These speakers in the Baja are most likely co-axials so the distance between tweeters is about 6 inches that's about 2khz so the line array principle would be good up until there. Past there, it would sound a little ugly to say the least, especially a singer's voice. Plus line arrays need some hi end crossovers. If one setting in my system goes off by a few microseconds, the whole thing sounds like DONKEY!!! I believe this is just a show system, just for looks and a lot of volume albeit some of it will sound nasty. Sometimes less is more and in the past, I've made things clearer and appear louder by shutting down part of the P.A. (except subs). All of these speakers will just make some things messy. (Combfiltering and lobing) Now a properly tuned line array sounds sweet!!! From a physics point of view it's acting like one happy giant full range speaker!! I hate when I have to mix on anything else, it's like trying to race against Skaters and such with a Bayliner :D

Re: Stereo Systems in your boats!!!!
 

ok, i'm back. Me being a stereo guy, I think that boat with all the speakers is cool because I think the more speakers looks cool too, hell I have 8-15" speakers in my boat and 42 total speakers, so dont think I am knocking it. I am just trying to point out that just like that system I could take out 6 of my 15" speakers and it would still be just as loud if not louder. I am putting a pair of 2" throat compression drivers with custom horns for the highs in my truck so I am all about overkill, but if someone wants there boat to sound as loud as that one looks they would only need to put a couple speakers in.
