Finished my Stereo SWEEEEET
 

OK, I finished yesturday my stereo in the Fountain, Man does it scream, Here is what I have

Sony Explode Indash CD,
6 disc changer w/ anti skip
Sony White Wired Remote w Display
2 Punch 250 amps
4 Kicker 6 1/2 marine speakers
2 Sony 6 1/2 Marine speakers
2 Kicker 10" Competition Subs in Sealed enclosures (purple)
to match trim in interior.
2 MB Quart Marine Tweeters

If I had it to do over again I would go with the MB Quart 6 1/2, because their tweeters are second to none, (ear Piercing)

Yes I installed all myself, and it was a pain. I sat in the boat yesturday for an hour just cranking tunes, it sounds and feels like a intence RAVE:cool:

WILL

Congrats on the new tunes. Always good when ya do it yourself.

Jon

congrats on the new system. it sounds like you will be pounding on the water!!!!

jbk

Where did you get the remote. I ordered one from Overtons but its on back order and I start the install on Sunday.

Congrats!!! If you have any pics of the install please post them!!

Congrats, sounds like an ass kickin setup.:D

Intolerent,

Forrest here on OSO sold it to me,,he goes by FWK on the board. I need to borrow another dig camera, I will post some pics probably monday night.:p

27Fountain,

Sounds like a killer system! Where did you mount your amps? Where are your subs?

I am almost finished with my stereo too and was just wondering if you had as much fun as I did! :(

My system:

2 JL Audio 10" subs mounted under rear seat.
2 Alpine 6.5" 2 ways mounted under rear seat.
2 Eclipse 8062 6.5" component speakers with tweeters mounted on dash(one next to trim gauge and one next to glove box door.)
1 JL Audio 250 watt amp for subs
1 JL Audio 300 watt 4 way amp.

I haven't decide what to do in the cabin yet.

I put the amps under the sink/cooler. It was either there or behind the drivers dash ....

Came in to take a break.... and saw your post. I just gotta hook up the battery cables and I'm set!!

Fever500

Lets see here, I almost put my tweeters where you did, I actually put mine on the sides, one beside grab bar and other infront of panel of switches on rt, pain in the ass, I had to remove the steering wheel to drill there. As for amps, mounted under back seat, and subs are the best, I custom built two enclosures to fit under front seats, in that little space when bolsters are down. Then covered them in purple fabric to match interior. 1 pair of speakers in front quarter panels, other two in back seat. original pair in the cabin.;)

For fun I itched for days, but its done thank God its done.

Hey Fever500 you going to make it to Lake Murray Poker run???

WILL:D

those systems will rock. nice. I put in a Sony Explode deck with the $29.remote, 1-300 jl 4 channel and a 600 prestege sub amp.bridged 4 - Kickers w/ tweeters and mids and 2-12s in a nice ported box in my F-2 canopy boat. Metalica in the milling circle is a must:cool:

Fever500 be sure to post how things turn out for you, particularly with the JL audio subs and amps...I'm putting things together for mine now and will have a very similar setup for subs and amps......2 JL 12w3 subs, JL 500.1 amp for subs and JL300.4 amp for mids/highs.

I'm getting ready to do a system for my Carrera Cat, just curious what you guys are spending and the best place to buy. Thanks for the input.

OK Will, when we tie up after the Lake Murray Poker Run we expect to hear that baby crank!

I have the same system in my Bimmer except I have the Alpine dvd deck. That Sony cd Explode is damn nice w/remote for around $500. I have learned no matter what you put in offshore saltwater boats, the deck craps out in 2 years max. Some don't make it that long. Too much of a beating I guess. Played mine in the shop the other night, I should be able to drown out the dry pipes with it. I Should be on the water with 1600 less hp and 1400 pounds lighter next weekend. Damn I hope this thing will run because I'm sure all the other F-2 canopy boats are running around a 100 mph. If not f@# it. Back to the 1300 blower motors for poker runs. Either way I will have fun.:D

Man this is wierd, looks like everyone is getting ready for summer!:D
I just picked my boat up today: here's the list:

Sony Xplod components;
CDXMP70 head unit
CDX757MX CD changer
2-RMXM10 wired remotes (1 helm-1 transom)

JL Components
2 WO 10- 10" subs
1 500/5 Amp
6- TR650 Speakers (4- cockpit, 2-cabin)
4-Optima batteries wired into existing switch

The guys did a great job with the install. They removed the factory worthless sink unit and built a custom enclosure for the cd changer with the amp mounted above it. Removed the factory under seat ice chest and installed the subs. They also installed some small purple neon tubes above the rear cupholders just for fun:D :cool:
Going to add some more tubes in the cabin for ...ahem...illumination purposes;)
I will hopefully post photos monday.
BTW: if anyone is looking for a never-used sink unit, I have one for sale.;)

Summer Obsession,

If you can post some pics of the install that would be great....I'm planning to go with the Sony CDXM630/757MX head unit combo with 2 remotes as well.....Did they have any problem installing the two remotes for your system? They just "daisy-chain" together with the supplied cables, right?

Also, are all four optimas for the stereo? Are they all just wired in parallel behing one side of the switch??

I think I am at the 2k mark for my stereo, however I did all the labor myself. To have someone else do it, add another thousand, it took me total about 40 hours over the winter. But think of it this way its only about 2% the cost of my boat.

Brad,

Yes we their will be allot of fun at Lake Murray in 7 Days and counting down;)

Will

Just got it finished! Damn.... took me three days!!

Grabbed a couple CD's; White Zombie and Prodigy ... cranked 'em up!! Sounds awesome!

Couple of notes:

Need to make enclosures for the subs.

Need to get some Grills for the subs.

Gregr ... you should be crankin' with that 500! The 250 is plenty for my 10's. The guys I bought the stuff from did a 32' Fountain and put 4 10's under the back seat and used that 500 amp.

Need to burn some cool CD's now!

I can't make it to the Poker Run. I will be riding my TL1000R in the VA mountains that weekend! If I hadn't already forked over the $$ for that I would go to the Poker Run! I'm sure you al lwill have a good time without me! :)

Cool......I wish I could get my stero upgraded.

:D :D :D :D :D

27Fountain,

I just realized my motorcycle trip is the first weekend in May! S it looks like I can attend the Poker Run after all!

Can you point me to more info on it? I would like to pull down there on Friday and stay the night on the lake if possible!

Thanks!

I would really like to see as many pictures as you can muster. I have been going nuts trying to find clean ways to do the system in my 27. 4 stock speakers just doesn't do the ride any justice. If you don't want to post too many I would appreciate any you could email to me. [email protected]


Thanks.:D

Fever 500,

Actually I am pulling down to Charlotte on Thursday night and probably crashing with my cousin there, and continuing down to Lake Murray on Friday morning. As for places to stay, I have a slip reserved at the light house Marina. I did have a house rented but, have since cancelled it, and plan to just crash on the boat, (high maintence girl said she isn't coming).

Running a Fever,

I will post some pics in the next day or so, Just a heads up I think the sealed enclosurs is the only way to go with subs.

WILL;)

Fever500,
If you are coming call Chris Peterson at 803-749-1554 and reerve a slip.
