Advice on phase 1 of speaker swap, amp addition, and rewiring
Hey all, signed up to get some advice on phase 1 of the audio upgrade we're doing on my cousin's new to him 2014 Moomba Mojo 2.5. I don't know what is original vs added by the previous owners. He was going to pay a guy to do it all but I was able to climb around the boat today and I think we can take care of it ourselves. The amp rack setup made everything extremely accessible and seems pretty straight forward.
Phase 1 - ASAP - speaker replacement, appropriate wiring, & amp addition for towers
Phase 2 - 1+ year(s) down the road - sub replacement, amp upgrades for seating area & sub
First, speakers
- Seating area speakers will be Wet Sounds REVO 6 – SWB (4 ohms, 100 watt RMS / 200 watt peak)
- Tower speakers will be Wet Sounds Rev 10 B-FC (4 ohms, 300 watt RMS / 600 watt peak)
Second, the mix & matched amps and where I'm struggling with wiring and setup ideas. I've bold, italicized, and used red front for my choice of connection.
- NEW AND NEEDS ADDED TO THE LINEUP - Wet Sounds SYN-DX4
- 125 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (200 watts x 4 at 2 ohms)
- 400 watts x 2 bridged at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode) - Towers
- Kicker 40KX8005
- 50 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms + 200 watts RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms
- 100 watts RMS x 4 @ 2 ohms + 400 watts RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms – 2 in front bow seating area, 2 in rear seating area aimed forward, & sub under helm
- 200 watts RMS x 2 bridged @ 4 ohms + 400 watts RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms
- Kicker 11DX3002
- 75 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms - remaining 2 in rear seating area
- 150 watts RMS x 2 @ 2 ohms
- 300 watts RMS x 1 bridged @ 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)
One of my first concerns is power for the new amp. Here is a pic of the distribution block/rail. Boat has 2 batteries and 2 amps already. The DASH POWER and ACC slots look unused so I was thinking it may still have enough to run another class D amp (the WS SYN-DX4). If I'm clear on power, the rest is just wiring in the new power line, grounding to the far right bolt with the other 2 grounds, and figuring out where to mount the new amp on the board.
