More. I wanted leds but didn't want to spend $150.00so I've been working on that issue. I found some angel eyes that I thought would fit. They came in today and I got them mounted in the grille. Worked and looked great for my garage boating.
I'm taking out my kicker 4 channel amp 70 watts. Adding 2 new wet sounds Htx6 amps. Going with revo 8 tower speakers and my revo 6 in boats and the 10 inch sub.
Running all new wires. Completed the inboat wires last summer.

Nicely done. One day we shall park them next to each other in a cove - see who is louder - and in the process piss off any boat within 300 yards.

Love to see these upgrades. If my boat wasn’t in a pole barn 140 miles north sitting in storage I’d likely be changing some of the stereo components as well!

Ours is about the same distance away, don't let a little Sunday drive stop you lol.

Looking back I should have just pulled the boat home and gotten the stereo done in one weekend. The 4.5 hour round trip drive makes it hard to get stuff done while it is in storage. Hoping to go down there one more time next weekend and get it wrapped up.

Lol, I have a great excuse to go up a day or two early Memorial Day Weekend! Right now it’s not in heated storage and the current temperature on this beautiful sunny day is 17 below zero, a bit chilly on the fingers for working on stereo equipment!!

Well fired up the torpedo heater today and started my divorce project.
Sub is in. And you will see the rough cut of the hole. I cleaned it up with a dremel. I'm getting old and couldn't find my countersink bits I just bought for this project. Oh well dremel away it was. The pass side helm wall is gel, glass, foam, glass and rough gel. Kind of messed up if you ask me. I give stereo guys 2 thumbs up for doing this crap.
Checked the wiring at the perko to see what I was going to need. Found the main battery cable loose. I could remove the nut by hand. So guys you might want to check yours. You never no. Removed the old 10 guage amp wire and 20 amp breaker.

You are the man. I don't care what anyone says. No way I would have the guts to cut that circle in Katie's boat.

You deserve a Lemonade.

Looking great buddy! Yeah that is thick in the top of these eh? Cobalt for a reason right!

You brought up a good point on how harmonics on our top shelf babys can still slowly loosen things up. That was a good find!

So when is the turn it up to “11” debut? And will you film your Niebors expressions?
