Wanted to share a simple clean install.
Since 13 when we got the boat I did the original install, it was clean looking and simple, I say simple because there is no LEDs, or fans, or anything like that.
I like simple clean installs myself.
I upgraded all my amps last summer, and the new Exile Digi Amps are much smaller. The older A/B style amps I had mounted, I cut out the backs on the panel to allow the amps to breath more and stay cool.
Last summer on 4th July weekend at LBC we were soaking towels to keep the amps cool enough to run. They kept going into Protection.
When I returned to P Town first thing I did was go to Exile and get new gear. Being the middle of Summer I wasn't going to down the boat for a weekend so I slapped them in and got back on the water.
This winter I was planning on taking it apart and re-doing everything. Life has a way of changing your plans, since Jan we have been planning this move and doing that so I have no time to work on my stereo. Recently I hurt my back pretty bad again so i have no business being under dash boards lol.
Luckily Ryan < Newty > stepped up and helped me out the other day.
My main goal was to re-position the sub to add more flair and pop. I never liked the big carpet box I had.
The other was to get the amp rack looking clean again with the new amps.
Ryan did some really clean work and was very through about it all.
I highly recommend him for any custom work you need done, stereos, carpet, towers, what ever. He can do it.
The rack was build with enough room to box it in and add my LEDs, fans, and other things later. This is my base to work off of and I am pretty happy about how it came out.

Pulling the Big 15 Sub out was a chore.
