My 2014 Exile Install...

[Cigars n scotch]

Looks good so far, the green painted cans really add to the install. Nice job.

Here is a picture of the clamps - this one got a little scratched during install, have some touch-up to do, but you get the idea;

I also decided to need up my battery setup too - I added 2 6v Exide GC135's, one in each rear locker. While I was at it I ripped the carpet out and replaced with Hydroturf. Here you can see that, and the start of one of the GC135's;


The Hydroturf was wet and dirty in this pic, it looks much better cleaned up, and won't hold water like carpet so it's a win-win.

I'll be making Starboard battery boxes, similar to what I did in my '08 Outback - since these batteries are huge I don't want to waste the space that a molded box would take up.

I also added a Prosport20 2 bank charger, it is mounted the the wall in front of the engine, out of sight, out of mind, out of the way;

I don't have any pics after it was wired, as I put the trim panels back in and you can't really see it.

You have the same CWB dog life vets that we got for our girls

Damn looks clean! I like that sub box!!!!!!! How hard do they hit???? I was thinking of getting a 12" L7 & (2) KM10's....now I'm thinking (2) 10" L7s like you haha. Not sure if they would fit though. I'm either buying a Mondo or LSV.

In my opinion this setup sounds great - this is actually the second boat that I've done the 10" L7s in, and both have sounded solid. You can absolutely fit this into a Mondo or LSV - heck, you could fit 2 12's ported under the dash! Truth be told, if I could get 10" Exile subs I would probably switch to them, since they would match, but I can't and the Kickers have been great.

So great!!! This site is a constant reinder of how talentless I am . Seriously though, looks awesome!

I finally got around to installing the 2 XM30.2's to power the tower speakers - it's amazing the size difference between these amps and the Harpoon - this is pre-clean up, and I forgot the Kicker Dual-Zone control at home, so the permanant rcas aren't hooked up, just tied in place and using jumpers for now;

On the bottom is an Xi800.4 that powers the 6 SX65-M component speakers in the cabin.


Here is a "before" picture with the single Harpoon that I replaced;

(Disregard the mess there, this was snapped after a day on the water last year)

Have you gotten a chance to listen to the tower speakers sepperate from each other? Just curious how they compare to each other in the boat and far away.
