well, started hacking up the boat today. missing one amp, deck and all the wiring yet, but it'll all be here in the next week or so..
final system will be:
kenwood kmr-700u head unit
rockford punch 400.4 4ch amp running 6 skylon rubicon ib125 inboat speakers
rockford punch 500.2 2ch amp running 4 bullet hollow point hlcd's in the tower
rockford punch p500.1bd mono amp running a jl 12w6v3 sub

replacing all the wiring and rca's while at it, as the factory stuff is kind of patched together as you will see from the sub connections..

soon to be gone:


pic of the original sub location:


my first dilemma. skiers built a makeshift fiberglas sub box for the kenwood sub. problem is that the floor inside is below the main floor of the boat just cutting the front/back out won't work. you can also see the mess of cables that run through the middle of the "box". it's the main power cables for the dash, the heater hoses, the steering cable and some other misc wires. this "box" is also open to the front ski locker ballast compartment. not sure why, but interesting...
going to have to dream on this one. would be nice if the heater was gone and the floor was level. tons of room under there and could probably fit a pair of 15's and not even be to the bow seatback yet.
let the cutting begin wed. night
