Thread: New Stereo System

  1. #1
    79 HUSTLER
    I need to get going on a system for the boat. I have a 29 cat closed bow this has no audio at all. I would like some imput as to what you guys would chose if this were your setup. We listen to some of everything at the river so I want something that will work for all music. I have plenty of room in the boat and would like to know what you think would be a great system. I have been looking at lots of JL subs (w6's&7's) but that is as far as I have gotten. Not looking to stay in any budget just looking for something that sounds great and nice and loud.
    Thanks, Kelly

    I just have one word. "KRACO"
    You ought to be able to get some good advise between Roz,Riverbound,
    Havasu Hangin & Shockwavebob.
    $5 says HH & SWB start bickering.Good luck with your system.

    Thanks, I hope I can get some good info as I really do not know where to start anymore.

    No bickering from me. I've decided that HH's method of not sealing the sub to the enclosure is actually easier for me.
    OK then, now give up some advise for 79's System.

    The limit is your imagination and your pocketbook. Your pocketbook appears to be unlimited. There's a ton of good equipment out there, it's not hard to put together a solid system. Maybe some interior pics of the boat would help start the ball rolling. Or just write me a blank check and I'll hook it up.
    I'll try to get some int. pics next week. Well, lets say I gave you a blank check and said go to town, what do you think you would do :idea: :idea:
    I appreciate any help, I know the easy thing to do is take it to someone, but I like to do my own stuff, thats how we all learn right. I would like to make the boxes and rig/wire everything then turn it over to a pro (like yourself ) to finetune the whole system.
    Thanks KELLY

    And, think outside the box a little. Don't look at a 10" space and think "OK, I can fit one 6.5" midrange in that spot." Look at that space and think "Hey, with a little creativity, I can wrap a pod around this spot and put three 6.5s."
    The real key is to decide up front what you want to do, everything, how many speakers, how many amps, where are the amps going, do I want XM or Sirius, do I want IPOD, how am I going to charge, how many batteries, etc. Every little question that you can think of before you ever touch the install. Draw it on paper a million times, but get it all down before hand. It will make the process go 100 times smoother, like anything else in life, proper planning is almost as important as proper execution.
    Thanks for the info. I really enjoyed watching your build up and tried to make notes of everything. You should see how many pages of stuff I have trying to figure all this stuff out. I don't think I put this much though into building my motor and entire boat. As soon as I get more info (alot more) I will list all the parts so all you pros can give me some opinions.
    Thanks for your time and help

    Remember speaker placement makes a big difference. Put them as high as you can or angle them.
