This spring I install the Alpine IDA-X100M, PDX 4.150 and PDX 1.600
1.6 pushing 2 Polk Audio 12inch subs and 4.150 pushing 3 sets of polk components. The wireless remote is worthless...Works best about 3 feet from the system. But I am happy with the sound! Amps mounted in cuddy and vented and still gets pretty warm to hot! |

I was sceptical on the wireless remote. I planned on putting the amps behind my seat in the mid cabin. I have seen them there on others guys boats and they never said anything about it being to much heat. Would under the back bench seat be better?

I have a 28 Victory which has a similar mid-cabin. I used a six channel JL amp for the cockpit. I put 2-front, 2-rear speakers on separate channels. the two 10" JL subs are on the other two channels. the cockpit sound will blow you out of the water. I ran the bow ant the mid cabin off of the radio amp. the radio amp puts out plenty of power for these small areas. To help with control, i put the blue amp signal wire on a switch so i can turn off the amp and cockpit at night, or when you just want the bow and mid-cabin on. Sweet set-up on an advantage. wireless remote at the helm works great also.

I'm running 8 speakers off a 4.150 and it is fine. The PDX amps do not get nearly as hot as conventional class a/b amps and they also draw a lot less power.
I can run my stereo at 3/4 volume for 4 hours off a single 29M battery. I also have a 4.100 bridged that powers my subs. |

That sounds like a good setup. Do you run a wireless remote? If so, have you had any problems?

Pretty happy with this set up.
Running 5400 watts of power to drive 5000 watts. 4 PDX 4.150 2 JL 1000 I added 2 80amp Kinetik chargers to keep up with the amp draw. I can run this forever at full volume. I add cooling fans to the amps located under the back seat. The PDX are stacked under the dash and therefore are not confined inside a cabinet. No problems with heating up. Still have more speakers to install, but it has become quite a project. |

i miss spoke on the wireless remote, it works only in the mid-cabin and bow because the radio is in the mid cabin and has to be in site for the wireless to work. I have a remote located at the helm that is wired into the blue jack on the back of the Sony Radio.
