Heres a pic of my Amps now. The batteries are out in this pic and you cant see my CB protection as it wasnt installed till after the batteries went in.

Attaway! Looks almost like you knew what you were doing.

Thanks. That means a lot to me comming from you Newty =) Only thing different is the very top wires for the Sub are now Monster cables. Ill get some pics of it after i get the tower speakers in and the batteries back in it. Hope to get that done Saturday so we can jam out Sunday on the water.

This weekend should be the tower speakers. Little worried about them. I am real nervous were i need to drill the holes and how to get the speaker wire down the tubes into the boat for the amp hook up. I got that amp all installed but have to remove the battery to connect the tower speaker wires since that corner of the amp is behind a battery. Ill get some photos this weekend and post them so you can see my work.

Mike,

Glad to see that Razz and Newty are helping you out. They know their stuff!

Regarding the tower speaker install, I did that last year - check out the post below. I think you will find it helpful.

Good luck.

Looks good! There's only one thing i see i could recommend. Tie up all your wiring so it doesn't move around when the boats in motion. Over time it can fatigue the terminations and break strands or completely break, otherwise great job! Now get those tower speakers done!

Thanks Cab thats exactly what i was looking for is pictures of drill hole locations to give me an idea of were to drill. I surly hope i don't have to remove my tower. I really hate the idea of doing that.

Razz, I have all the wires tight at the amp. I have them tucked behind the amp board and coming out to the amp.

Also on the floor where it runs behind the batteries its all zipped and i used Loop mounting brackets for wires to hole them to the wall also. When you say tighten them up are you meaning mount them to the amp board right before they hook to the amp? So there's no vibrations t those points?

[Razzman]

Yeah, just mounted to the board should do.

Cool Razz it will have to wait till i get my towers in. There's no way im crawling back in that hole for something that small LOL. My GF cracks up at my contortionist impression when im going in there to work on anything already lol.

Checked UPS and dam towers arnt even shipped yet from the company i bought them from. grumble grumble.

At least i got the rest done so we can jam near the boat. The people in the water will have to be happy listening the rumble of the 350 V8

Mike,

Just watch out for the GF when she pulls out a camera to video you working on the amps.

[mmandley]

Ohh yes i know. She loves to take photos, hince why she isnt in a lot of them. But luckily i upload and post everything so i can to monitor them that way.

She does like to do cruel things like tickle me or toss ice chips at me from her drink. Since im in that hole i cant just jump right up, or out lol.
