Murder Max Mods

It’s been a busy summer so far with the new boat and the wedding in vegas on Saturday. Mandatory wedding pic:

I finished up round one of the LED’s a few weeks ago and realized I never posted pics (night pics don’t do justice to how it really looks as y’all know). The wetsounds music controller is really cool

I put a single rgb LED’s in all the speaker grills and 2 of them in the sub grill. The sub looks great, but the 6.5’s could use more. I’ll have to get a pic of the sub and the 6.5’s in the bow.

Im thinking Part 2 will be speaker rings and cupholder rings for the cupholders in the floor.

Cool. I ordered one for my Craz also. Great tip!

What rgb led's did you use for speakers/ subs and the cupholder area? Is the music controller your talking about the wetsounds unit that is crazy expensive?

These for the speaker grills:

These ziptied to the wiring harness that runs above the cupholder area (and in the little cutout to the right of the helm):

SUPERNIGHT 16.4ft 5050 RGB Strip Waterproof Black PCB, 300 LED Color Changing Rope Lights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076VG955L?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Controller:

Wet Sounds RF RGB Multi-Function LED Lighting & Music Marine Speaker Controller https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HU9O73Y?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I soldered these to the LED strips:

Zitrades LED RGB Light Strips 10PCS Female Connector RGB Wire Cable for SMD 5050/3528 RGB LED Strip Light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D0Y8SG6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

And used combinations of the wire in different lengths and splitters found here:

2 pcs/pack black 5M 16.4ft 4 Color RGB Extension Cable LED Strip Connector Extension Cable Cord Wire 4 Pin LED Connector for SMD 5050 3528 2835 RGB LED Light Strip ，rgb wire，rgb extension cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FGSTG4?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Scroll down to “customers also bought:” to see the splitters and such

Awesome thanks

Just a heads up to anyone else who may order this adjustable pedestal. It is great and screws straight to the deck in the same screw pattern. However, you cannot adjust it up as easily as I expected. You have to pull the pin out and lift the seat at the same time. Because the seat wants to rock back, it binds on the post. It can be done, it just takes two people. This is more of an adjustable height “fixed” post. Don’t expect to raise it up while driving. Still a great upgrade though.

That is correct. I can raise it myself but it is quite awkward. I wonder if there is a way to add a spring inside? Might look into that when I finish my other projects....

Yeah, good idea. That would solve the problem.

Started on the LED cupholder and speaker rings. I found a great DIY on malibucrew to give credit where credit is due: http://www.themalibucrew.com/index.p...der-rings-diy/

I’m using 3/8” hose for the speakers and 1/4” for the cupholders:
