Blue Sea ACR and RF Tower Amp Install

Post by SAB220 »

Had the the Blue Sea ACR installed . Funny, all I had now is a On/Off switch. No more lifting seats. Wish I did this years ago. Turn the boat On, turn the boat Off. No more instructions to people on how to use the battery switch and no more dead batteries because they forgot my instructions. No more human intervention.

Because I read a lot of radio posts, while I installed the Rockford Fosgate ( RF) radio controls/amp, this time I gave it to a RF dealer to install the tower speakers. Notice the tower amp installed with spacers on top of the radio amp. Never would of thought of that... benefits of the dealer install.

Nice SAB. This is on my short list this year.
I purchased it but never installed.
Is that the original location of your battery switch? Normally it’s hidden. 🤔

No it was under was under the a seat, and the seat hinge like the boat is almost 20 years. I wanted it out out of that compartment so its easy to shut the boat (bilge not controlled by switchb)

BBP- The system installed on my 2004 220 is Rockford Fosgate ( FS) - FS provides endless choices. Tower speakers are 6.5 under the Bimini top they aslo offer 8.5" but morr $$

Parts Tower only: PM500X2 ($449), PM2652WB ($400), PMCl2B ( $80), and misc hardware. Its the miscellaneous hardware that's the problem for me. For those installing the ACR this is where he put on a 2004 220. (Not shown is the new plug for the battery Tender)
