Awesome lighting Matt! I didn't know you had side intakes on a 282. I'm digging it.. a lot!

Hahn your new wheel really sets your cockpit off! Makes it's look much more modern. I'm a big believer in switching out the wheel. Always one of the first things I do.

Careful TR, I know where you're going with this and it won't work. Fat bald guys dont attract the chicks, I dont car how many speakers you have.

Gdane, those look great! I’m sure it sounds amazing too.
Any issues “bumping” ones head into those?(other than head banging to Metallica) 8-)

Btw, awesome pic YT!

So seriously....the speakers/tower is prewired? I assume the wire ends by the amp then are NOT connected to the amp? Is that all I need to do then is mount speakers and plug in the wires? If so this is happening this year :)

I was told pre-wired. I doubt they took them from the end of the tower. Hopefully gdane weighs in. I am interested too. I also wonder about the lighting. Is that an extra wire

Talked to the service guy at my dealer/marina. he says they are probably not prewired unless you bought the package from the factory. He also said its a PITA to get the wire run and that its not completely hallow through the tubing. They sub out all that work through a local company called Chilli's Soundwaves. if this is all true it sounds like to get this I'd be paying for professional installation....which probably puts this at a $1500-$2000 price tag (I'm sure they'll tell me I need a new amp as well to power the tower speakers. If thats the case I think I may defer a year, or 3.
