15 moomba mondo - adding Bow Speaker

[bstussie]

just picked up a 2015 Mondo and it did not have any speakers in the bow and wanted to see if anyone knew what brand the stock speakers were if I wanted to keep it stock or had any recommendations based on prior experiences.

I just picked up our 2015 Mojo and I didn't order bow speakers either. The speakers are kicker km65 I ordered my from hifisoundconnection. If you are adding an amp the wiring is already there in the compartment behind the observers seat. I would recommend getting an amp as the head unit is located under the helm and this is where all the wires are for the speakers located in the mid ship seating area. I built an amp rack and tied in to the factory bow speaker wiring and port side factory wiring but ran new speaker wiring across to the factory starboard speaker wires behind the headunit.

Thanks I just ordered the kicker km654 with the built in led lights!

I looked this evening and i did see thespeaker wire already in place in the bow, would it be as easy as plug n play of I go without adding a amp?

You cannot effectively drive 3 pairs of speakers off a head-unit. A 4 chnl amp is the way to go. Also, you will need a small gauge 4 conductor run to each speaker for the LEDs and an RGB controller. The LEDs do not work off the audio leads.

Phone line works well for the conductor wire MLA describes. I ran phone line ofr all my leds.

I did pick up the remote at same time so should be good with rgb controller

I have never been good with the audio stuff so I really appreciate the help

I have a 2 channel kicker amp installed and I assume that is running my 2 Roswell tower speakers

any recommendations on 4 channel amps should I stick with kicker brand

would that 4 channel run all 3 pairs of speakers (2 stock and additional in bow)

Yeah the amp is for the Roswells. I would get a Kicker kxm400.4. Run the cabin speakers, on one set of outputs, 4 total in parallel, basically 2 speaker outputs on the left and 2 on the right. Run the bow off the other channel. They do it that way from the factory.

Also note that the stock speakers do not have LEDs but I just ordered some 70mm angel eye LEDs to retrofit my speakers.

To further expand on this, just make sure its stranded conductor, not solid.

Yes, the Kicker KXM400.4 Class-D marine amp is a perfect choice.

Mike, what's wrong with solid?
