THE OUTLAW Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I re did mine last spring , before vacation . Kept it simple . Two JL 8.8 , JL AMP Bluetooth to phone . Easy peasy Crystal clear , loud as poop ! Very happy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinbill85 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Don't mean to partially derail the thread here but, Outlaw, how does that snow camo hide "stains" and whatnot? I have been thinking about putting seadek on my pathy, got the samples... Snow camo was surprisingly not bad looking. What size amp is that, and what'd it and the speakers run you...IF you don't mind the question. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE OUTLAW Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 The Snow Camo is the second skin my sled has had . First color was like a navy grey . The Snow is way better . Its dbl thick , as it has a layer of black underneath for a solid border . All Sea Dek is very easy to maintain . I have to admit , the Snow hides alot . LOL the stains just blend right in . I am VERY HAPPY with the Snow Camo and recommend it highly . As for the stereo , JL ... IMHO is the best and best aint cheap . BUT ... If you search , there are deals to be had . If memory serves me well , around $650.00. I did barter some with Bob @ Inshore Marine Specialties though . He is priced good . Bought the Sea Dek there also . Hope this helps .

fishinbill85 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Yea, it helps a ton, and that seadek pattern looks great! All the nonskid on my boat now is awlgripped white...(done before I purchased it). Personally, I hate it and want to cover it up, even though it's really good paint and it was done right. It shows everything, and any stains are a pain to remove. I think i'll give that Snow Camo a serious look. Currently I have Audiopipe speakers on the boat (also previously installed), no amp, run through a sonic hub/simrad setup. I don't like those either....... ohhhh the ever famous path to boat customization is never cheap...or simple. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchern Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 X2... On the JL speakers and amp with blue tooth connection to iPhone or similar device. Keeps it clean and important components away from the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaitTank Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 holy moly....... Thats a set of woofers...... Does normal sound come through those as well or do you have other speakers? Was not sure if there is a mid range speaker in there? Does anyone have any thoughts on a head unit to go with or a less robust system...... Anyone try those Speedometer sized head units? I guess you can plug in a USB stick on the wiring harness on the back of them? As always, You guys are great and love any thoughts you guys have NH Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoutlaw Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 8" subwoofer and a 1" tweeter. Really great sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I really like wetsounds products. I've heard jl and felt wetsounds was superior. I'd get 4 speakers on the lt20 for maximum sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaitTank Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 has anyone tried those radio / mp3 head units that fit in a 3" speedometer hole on the console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Jensen MS3A head that fits in a 3 in hole, with 4 JL M770 speakers and a JL M400/4 amp. I just had the amp installed. It made a big difference when running. The sound is much clearer with the amp! It is Bluetooth capable and also has a usb plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Try a Fusion BB300-R (Black Box), includes a small remote and is blue tooth, 3 zones built in so you can tune the sound where you want it when you're running. Pure 50 watts per channel and then add an Amp (or in inline 35W per...?) a couple sets of good speakers and you have a great setup for a reasonable amount of money...

Nickc12345 Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I have 2 6 inch jl audio speakers mounted on the console, and I'm waiting to install my two 8.8 in the drivers area. I have a small fusion radio powering up the setup, and purchased an amp just in case it's too weak. I like the two 6 inches though and they pack a nice punch.

SKINNY DIPPIN Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Getting ready to install new electronics on my 05 2000v, the factory chartplotter (Lawrance) and VHF finally died last season (i know waited way too long). Going with Simrad NSS7 evo2 and adding Sonichub 2 as well but need help deciding on speaker location. New Garmin vhf will drop into existing dash cutout starboard side above throttle while evo 2 will be bracket mounted top of CC for optimum viewing while under power, Sonichub module sidewall mounted inside of CC and thinking of speakers going into end cap of front long storage boxes thus facing stern. I know sidewalls of CC is easiest but not crazy about diminished sound quality or blasting the bay both starboard and port trying to hear music underway. Anyone else do this or have suggestions?

BradM Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 2 - 8.8's with 200w per speaker is louder than most people want to stand in front of....I went with the JL Audio MM100-BE for a head unit. Works well and gives you more control than a Bluetooth module and a phone. I like tunability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Consider going with good waterproof Bluetooth speaker, that's all i have. I don't rock out at the sandbar, but just chill with some tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lap it Up Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 qty 2 7.7 JL's ("M" series) and a good quality 400 watt amp bridged to two channels. Wire in a 12v Bluetooth dongle and use your phone / ipod for tunes. If you have space in the front bulkhead I'd put the speakers facing you, way better while running. If that doesn't work the rear bulkhead works well too as the sound reverberates around the whole cockpit. I don't love speakers in the console but it would be a third option if I couldn't get them in a bulkhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, definitely....I agree...on the side of the console....you can't hear anything clearly when running. Years ago I installed some small 4" speakers next to the console door, as high as I could get the top part of the console. they are facing you, low, but, facing you....decent sound... But the best seems to be to run them up front into the side boxes of the console so the sound goes down the gunnels. FYIW..... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 kept it old school, 2- 6 1/2" speakers on side of console and flush mounted Sony Marine Stereo. Little $$$$$ good sound, lots of features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Juice Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 JL 7.7s with Fusion RA70. I bought a amp to go with it but haven’t installed. The JLs need an amp. They pull a lot of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I have 4 JL’s under the gunnels facing inside the boat. They were installed that way when I bought the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogan Master Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I agree regarding the JL speakers and JL amp with Bluetooth. That is how my Morada is set up and I couldn't be happier. I had issues with Fusion. I added a volume knob and power toggle switch for an manual override. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
