That's What I thought you did. I expect that new amp installed by the end of the day.thunder550 wrote: Sat Apr 04, 2020 10:36 pm Thanks guys. They don't sound much different, but I was mostly after looks, no real complaints about how the old speakers sounded.
BBP...I have all the speakers run off the deck, Sony MEX-M100BT. Has a fairly good sized internal amp, so i haven't stepped.uo to a separate one.

Re: 1995 Cobalt 252 consolidated revitalization and fix-up thread
Hello Thunder. I know you're taking some ribbing from these guys, but please note that everything you have documented thus far has helped me out considerably. Thank you for doing what you've done.
I have a '98 252 that I bought over a month ago. Hopefully with any luck (and no more pandemic lock down requirements) it will be here Weds.
Without having the boat in my possession, you have given me the ability to see what I need to do in order to update/change/modify stuff.
This thread has been a wealth of information for the older 252's.
Now, who's got pictures of a subwoofer installed on a 252? Thanks again

Don’t worry, most people don’t understand the magic of owning the greatest boat Cobalt ever made.

Congrats on joining club 252!! These guys are posting all in fun, they are all collectively the best! Except BBP. He is also the best, but it's spelled way differently. Please post a thread on your purchase and improvements when you get it!xlint89 wrote: Sat Apr 11, 2020 2:55 pm Hello Thunder.

Re: 1995 Cobalt 252 consolidated revitalization and fix-up thread
Well, i just bought a new to me 1995 252 and I'll follow suit with many of your upgrades!
I already got the quote on the swim platform, which came with pictures of your boat as an example of course.
I've ordered stainless steel cupholders, teak vinyl for the instrument panels, and new steering wheel.
Full on copycat coming your way!
Boat is a 496 with a Bravo 1, no captains call, no trim tabs.
