2015 Mondo Stereo Build

[KG's Supra24]

It all comes down to how much play time one wants while on the hook. Rather that 4 G-24, have you considered a pair of 6V GC's?

Dont want to take Brett's thread off track, so feel free to PM me.

Or start another thread. Love it when stereo build threads start popping up.

This one looks awesome. Interested to see how the 4 subs turn out. Sounds complex!

Awesome, I would be very careful if they want to put those subs in the Cubby, unless they plan to add vents into the walk way the subs will suffocate and sound weak.

Looking forward to the pics and details as you proceed.

They aren't going in the cubby...they are going under the steering wheel.



Thanks everyone, can't wait to get started. I'm bringing some powder coat swatches this weekend to see what's the best match.

Also I have room for another pair of KM64 to run off my Bow 400.2 so I'm going to put a pair in the walk way

KM8s we're back ordered but they shipped today. Hopefully everything will be in by next weekend so I can slay some fish!

Just an update: Dropped off my Cans to get powder coated. Problem is they won't have the powder for at least a week

[BrettLee3232]

Got my powder today & from the pictures they look pretty sweet!!!!

Brett did you check the speakers in the cans? I bought the same cans and KM8's and they didn't fit without clearencing the opening. Ended up being about an 1/8" to clear the speaker cage, and it was a pain even with a dremel. Look good though. I bought the RGB weather led strips with controller for $15 and it works perfectly with the speakers, and now i have 15' of led's for the boat. Couple of pics for you reference.

Also forgot to mention I sprayed sound deadening material in the cans and it seemed to make the bass a little richer, this is on my home stereo, since the boat is not here, but the do sound good at least in the house.

The powder coat looks phenomenal on yours by the way.

I never checked the clearance. The speakers are at my storage unit and I had the cans here. I even emailed Bullet Lines to make sure they would fit my KM8s before I powdercoated. Here is what they replied...

They will fit the cans.. Put a speaker in it

I'm going to be really pissed off if they do not fit.

What type of sound dampening did you use?

I'm really happy with the color of the powder coat turned out really good!

[mark540]

I used a can of spray sound deadening material i got at Autozone, it wss ovver by their stereo stuff, although i don't think it is much different than rubberized undercoating. They should keep the sound focus back instead down in the boat.

[BrettLee3232]

Brought my cans to the boat today. Color matches pretty close. They are a little darker & brighter but being on the tower you won't notice. I'm pretty happy with them!!!


Also Mark, I did have an issue with the fitment. Going to have to grind each one down. Really pisses me off but I spoke with Ken at Bullet Lines & he's gonna hook me up with a discount. Real nice guy...

Sorry you had to find out after the coating. All the aluminum pods we've loaded with the KM8, we have had to open up. I have found that a skill saw with a metal cutting blade works fast an easy. Just tape the pop off real well and I even mask the bottom of the skill saw base just to reduce any marring.
