    Default Need Help with My New Audio Set Up

    I'm looking for some help on my newly-installed amp and bow speaker set up in my 2014 LSV. Last Fall I bought a pair of Kicker speakers to use as bow speakers since my '14 LSV only came with the 4 cabins and 2 tower speakers all run off a single Kicker 300.2 amp. To drive the new set up of 6 cabin speakers I also bought an Exile 15.4 amp so I could have the tower speakers run off the Kicker amp. Over winter storage, I had the dealer do the installation and we picked up the boat this weekend to drop it into the water for the season.

    Everything worked great initially, then I started having a problem with the cabin speakers. After about 10 minutes of running audio (either radio or iPod), the cabin speakers cut out while the towers continued to work fine. The only way to get the cabins working again was to toggle off the stereo switch on the helm and power up again, after which everything worked fine for about another 10 minutes before the cabins shut off again. It's almost as if the Exile amp is shutting down for some reason, but the amp never lost power - even after the cabins cut out there was still power to the amp with the blue light on. This happened 5-6 times, after which I gave up and figured I needed to double check how the dealer did the installation. The dealer is an hour away and I REALLY don't have the time or the patience to drag it all the way back there if I can avoid it!

    Here are a few pics of the set up as installed by the dealer. As I'm not an audio guy, I'm hoping you guys can spot something obviously incorrectly set up from these pics that hopefully will get me back up and running! Thanks for taking a look, and let me know if you guys can get me sorted out.
