Ian. ,why the sxt9 vs the xm 9
Be interested to see your feed back of the hybrid, but. 4 Nines kill it .
I don't really ever use the XM9s at full power; I rarely use them for wakeboarding (wife isn't comfortable with that many things going on when she is driving) so its mostly just sandbar time, and I love the way the tower speakers look. My thought is that I can run the volume independent between the XM and SXTs to dial it in right where I want it.
Let's see, I still have to winterize the boat. Thankfully she fit in the garage with all that floor jack & drop hitch shenanigans because it was freaking 30 degrees overnight here the Chartlotte area the past two nights. I would have been fugged if it didn't fit because I am not even close to being ready to winterize due to still unpacking and moving stuff from storage unit to new house. It seems like it will never end. I am looking forward to the day we're settled in. Moving blows!
I don't have much in mind, with purchasing a new home it's taken a chunk out of our $$. I HAVE to bleed my brake lines in my trailer because there's no fluid and nothing but air in them. I'd like to find a shop to powder coat my tower. Maybe install 750's for the rears and an 1100 for the bow. But who knows because I also want to pick up a new CCW gun and finish up my AR build. I need a money tree like berg!
Jay, I am interested to know what you are going to do with the wrap!
Berg, did you start smoking some of those local PNW "Special Brownies"????Quote:

Very preliminary wrap idea. Haven't spent tons of time on it... really just brainstorming right now.

Hopefully not too much criss-crossing. That means either heading over the passes or through the gorge. We'll try to keep winter at bay while you're here...
I have not ordered a single thing for my winter project list except the wind dam Patrick is building. I'll probably only be able to get the PP done since I'm broke as a joke from wedding and house expenses

Relocate batterys-due to 450lb bag
install 4th johnson ballast pump and use it to fill 450lb bag. right now i have one pump filling the 1100lb and the 275lb and just taking way to long. allready had the pump and thru hull, fittings and hose from last years purchase
install switch for 4th pump, not sure of location yet as but may kinda hide it and not drill any holes in the dash.
hopeing to do a FAE
Thinking about: transom lights-not sure about this one as it something that will so rarely get to be enjoyed its most likely not worth it.
To where..?Quote:

Not sure if the xtra presure will pose a issue or not.
Hmmmmm - I was considering moving mine back OUT of the cubby. Lost a lot of storage when that became their new home. Only other place I could come up with is under the observer side curved seat and they'd have to be sealed batteries sitting on their side. But if a heater install happens, then under that seat is the most likely location and would win out. Guess maybe I just need a bigger boat...

More deliveries this week :)
I found that KnuKonceptznmakesnlimengreenbpower wire, so I'm going to replace all the white that I installed this spring while I'm reconfiguring;

Also got a new led music controller. Previously I had a Wetsounds unit, but it uses a microphone to sense the music and it didn't work as well as I wanted, so I got this one that has an audio input jack.

I picked up the batteries around Thanksgiving but forgot to post a pic, do here they are;

(Not sure if Dropbox links will work?)
I finally remembered to order Hydroturf for the ski lockers, hope to have that next week, as it will be the first step of my 2014 projects.
And last but not least, I got nutty last night and pulled the trigger on 2 Exile XM30.2 amps; one for each pair of tower speakers, instead of the Harpoon for all 4. Should sound pretty good!
Try this again;

Ian, I must have missed it , you get another pair of green 9's
Nice upgrade.
Yea, I'm adding a pair of SXT9s to the pair of XM9s that I have. I figure running separate amps will give me the ability to dial in gains more closely and control volume independently between the pairs.
Definitely post pictures of the hydroturf in the ski lockers when done. I want to do this as well
pumps and bags are done. working on the fae now.
Pics or it didn't happen!Quote:

I finally got to spend some quality time with the boat to get some projects under way! Because I'm planning to put the 6V batteries in the rear engine hatch area (not quite sure exactly where yet) I wanted to get the lockers done - so I ripped out the carpet and started scraping the glue - what a joyous job that is! I took photos of that process, but they don't look like anything - photographing black fiberglass in a dimly lit warehouse, go figure!
A while back I ordered a large (47" x 86") sheet of gray cut groove Hydroturf with adhesive backing - I was pleasantly surprised that the material is very similar to the feel of SeaDek, but a bit cheaper.
So I brought the carpet home and used it as a template to cut the Hydroturf - hoping to get to the boat tomorrow or Monday to test fit and possibly install. Next up will be batteries and ProSport!

Rather than draw on the product itself I chose to put tape around the perimeter of the carpet, then draw on the tape - this way I don't have any black lines to wash out;

Man the photo hosting limitations here are really bad, what the heck happened?

Another test;

redo the distro boxes on amp rack
rewire the amp rack
maybe do a new amp rack
would like to do:
carpet
sea dek in the bow walkway
new drivers seat and vinyl for the rest of the boat
another set of xm7's or 9's( i know i dont have the coin for this )
led lighting in the boat
replace the rockford amp with a javi
Two new sets of WS XS-808 in-boats to go with the existing in boat XS-650s, Two new W6-12s and a whole slew of new Arc Audio amps, rewire the tower with WS wires for the RGBs because I had to buy a new Sampson tower. Of course with all the new amps, I am upping the size of the power cabling and adding some more RGBs and a second controller.
At least I now have a bunch of stereo components for my pontoon boat.
Powder coating the windshield frame to match the new tower and of course the Icon8 housings.
I blame you guys and this website for continually feeding my upgraditis affliction!!
Still using it. Heated garage and nuclear reactor heated lake. But for the really cold month, replace tower speakers, maybe send the back seat out for new upholstry, fresh air exhaust, wetsounds equalizer/fader/sub control.
Any progress on your SXT9 install? Curious to see how the four speakers look on the tower.Quote:
