More stereo work
 

I'm finally making some progress on this install. Been busy with other stuff. I've only got 2 flush panels to make and it'll be done and ready for the water. I powered it up last night and tuned it in for the first time. All I can say is WOW! The 4 Wet Sounds XS-650's are new, the 4 JL 10W0's are new, and the Kenwood sub amp are new. The boat originally had 10 Kenwood 6.5's, 2 4-channel kenwood Excelon amps, and 1 10" Excelon woofer. I also added 2 Stinger SP1500D sealed batteries.

Here's what I ended up with:

*1 4-channel, bridged to 2-channel mono powering the tower speakers
*1 4-channel: 2 channels are powering the 4 6.5's in the cockpit at 2 ohm stereo, and the other 2 channels are powering the 2 6.5's in the bow.
*1 Mono Kenwood Excelon amp powering 4 JL10W0-8's at 2 ohm mono.

Also added a Wet Sounds WS-420 eq/pre-amp
All of this is on the stock Kenwood Marine headunit. I only kept this because the helm station inserts are built around 1 remote, and another remote is on the transom.

There aren't any pics of the 2 10's under the helm, but they're in there and I still need to cut out a flush panel for them. Under the console where the amps are, I'll have a cover for the batteries that'll conceal them, and the second woofer box will sit on top of that. With this set-up I'll gain almost all of the storage space back under that console. Big enough for a full-size cooler.

I'll post updates once it's all done. Hopefully that'll be later this week.

Big thanks to Billy at TN Tige for the Wet Sounds and TNT for the carpet that evidently no one in Paducah will carry :angry-smiley-038:

Sweet system,, When you finish yours I'll bring mine over.

What are you, f*cking deaf??? Looks nice dude, can't wait to here it!

I think we will hear him before we see'em :p

How many batteries do you have in there now


now you just need to add a "stripper pole" to that ski tower and your set:D

Only 2 batteries. They're in the console instead of the bilge, which is really handy. I'll work on that stripper pole

Hey jonyb, Robby here (met with you last year down at the quarry) I think the first time we will be down this year might be the poker run. Anyway if you are around the docks you'll have to stop by mine and check out some tunes.....3200 watts !!!! I'll try to post some pics when it is back together....a little motor tuneup for the poker run......oohhhh sorry I mean MAINTENANCE for the wife HA HA HA catch you'll soon!!!!!

Hey Robby, just keep us posted when you do come down here. Maybe we'll hang out a little longer this time or we'll all find a place together.

Cant wait to hear IM A BIG FAT MAN AND A TITTY FAN SO SHOW THEM TO ME... :D JonyB when you getting out on the water?

Hopefully 1.5 weeks. Water's finally going down. We'll be at the camper this weekend doin work. What about you?

Hey Robbie, I got your entry form yesterday... Thanks!

Now if everyone else would do the same( HINT HINT) it would sure make my life alot easier!!!!!!

I can be available if you need me again this year, Mitch. Since I've got a slowboat it would be nice to stay on the Dam side of the lake, but whatever's good for you.

Hopefully next Sunday if the weather is good.

I plan to get out too, so HOLLA!!!

Looks awesome JB

Yeah I know!! We are really hard on everyone right now trying to get them to commit....Keep telling them to save some gas money and then run the p--s out of them in June!! Really looking forward to it!!

Thanks Jeff!!

Robby how many people do you think will come down this year? You had about 5-6 boats last year, didn't you?

Yeah, We're trying to get about 6-8 boats down there for the poker run. Like always you just have a few people that drag their feet (I'm usually one of them), But we are only doing a couple boat trips this year. I'm gonna make KY. Lake and Cumber. this tear, And of course Golconda end of the year!! We are still not ruling out memorial day.? Hope to see ya soon.

Mama, Is that your sunsation in your avatar? I finished work on a '05 innovator last year and there could be a chance i could bring it down for the poker run. It is for sale $110, Has some cool custom paint!!!!! Anyway I would be really interested in taking a look at your boat. I really like the looks of the sunny's and after the innovator work, I had to deal with the factory on some parts and everyone there was SUPER anytime I called for parts.

Finished up the first console last night. Still need to cut out the flush panel for the woofer box under the helm. No space was lost under the helm, and a bunch of space was gained under the other side.

looks sweeeet

Agreed :D

Nice work JonyB.

How far's the water from your camper, I heard the water is over the road going to ours.

You got pontoons on that camper??

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Now get back to work on that boat :signs069:

JB, do you have any old tower speaker pods (cans) laying around? I could use a pair....

No, it belongs to Hill-Top Marine in Bronson Ky. He brought it down for the Poker Run last year. It was one of the new SS's, Sun came out with last year. He's going to bring one of the new 28SS this year.

Do you have any old HP500's laying around? I could use a pair... :cool-smiley-011:

Sure don't buddy. You can check www.boardersmall.com. Sometimes they have some standard empty cans for cheap. I re-used mine because of the tight fit with the cargo rack/bimini.

Yesterday the level was 365.3 and the water was about 20' from the front porch. I was told Barry and Sally had to move theirs. Some of the other guys at our place are pulling out but I think we'll be okay. It's only projected to hit 365.6 on Tuesday. We'll be safe until 367.

Thank ya sir!

Thank ya sir!

Lake conditions: http://www.explorekentuckylake.com/weather.htm

If I had your money, I'd just go buy a new pair of 750's...

Hoping to get out this weekend Dan.....

Do you know of anyone that wonts to sell a flat or hydro? I have a 25ft. Warlock cat with a 572 Sterling. I miss the old v-drives. Does not have to have a motor. I have a 588 extra motor.
Thank you
Bobby
