I’ve been avoiding these threads because Mrs. akor is the one pushing for a beefed up system in the 252. Our last boat was a bit over the top and she loved it.

I don’t mind it during the day, but as the sober captain at 3 am I’m not fond of the boat looking and sounding like a club drawing unneeded attention. My last boat had RGBs throughout that went to the music, it was cool, but...man I sound old.

I got it in. Few tuning bugs to get out of it. It's cutting out int. But I think I got a bad volume control so I'll take that out and see. I think I'm safe from the wife right now though. It's loud but only if I make it that way. The sub In frt of her isn't terrible so she will be fine right now. It's hard to see in the one picture but the bow control is under that trim. I added a sub and tower volume control in the glove box.

I really didn't think I would have as much time in it as I did. But holy cow. I have a few wire clamps to install but really turned out good.

Wow - that looks factory. I am embarrassed to show off pictures of where we are at, you killed wire management.

Awesome Work!

Thanks guys. I have to space it out a bit more. It's pretty tight. Then I can move the wires a bit more to line them up a bit better yet.
