Default Stereo install in the 24
Finally got around to installing the stereo. Took a LONG time starting from scratch but at least I know it was done right.

Here's some pics for ya Kirk and whoever else cares.

First I measured and marked where the speakers would go. Then taped them off to make sure there would be no chipping of the gel coat.

I then had to feed all the wires and install the head unit.

I then wired the amps, capacitor and crossovers under the rear seat.

Installed the remote "bass boost" under the head unit.

Fired it up and no blown fuses!

The 6.5s sounded great but the subs were weak. Time to make some air tight enclosures!

Used some camper top tape to make a tight fit and screwed the cover down.

Sounds awesome now! Had to turn the sub amp way down.

Added some protection to the subs and it's now complete!

You cut up my boat?

Looks great, nice install. I'd be careful with those amps on the floor, you can get water under that cover.

Nice job Scott.
