    2017 AR210 - Swim deck speakers

    I have a 2017 AR240 with full JL system including 4 pairs M6 7.7s throughout, 2 of them on the swim deck and I push them all with 200 rms, they scream even at half volume. My upholsterer modified my rear cushions, looks great...sounds even better. If you have the power to push them go M6...

    Upgrade to JL M770s - phase 4

    Ok gotcha....yeah 6.5s will be fine in that case.

    Upgrade to JL M770s - phase 4

    Unless your running the M6s that were intended for higher power handling, the M3s at 75rms will be fine. I have 200 rms going to my 8 M770s, JL said it was fine mainly bc they over engineer their products, and its essential clean power that provides extra head room when I play it above...

    Upgrade to JL M770s - phase 4

    Not sure if its the same debat...but in your case with 75 rms to each, the M3 would be great...SQ is going to be good bc its JL, and is somewhat dependent on how loud you play it, prob will be fine for both volune and SQ...and for the 24ft+ the 7.7s will fit in the bow with a spacer...my build...

    Upgrade to JL M770s - phase 4

    Im not sure if it will matter, from my understanding and research, when speaking to JL and others the size diff wont be as audible with the power you have. I was in a similar situation and had the MX650s (off a 800/8) and wanted Mx770s but was told the diff would be marginal since they had...

    JL 7.7” in 242LSE? 10” sub facing aft from anchor locker?

    Advance I have a 2017 AR240 with a full JL setup, including 8 M series 7.7s all around getting approx 200 rms each including the rear deck (modified the cushion)....I also have M880s on the tower getting 200 rms each....you need spacers in the bow, and the mid cabin speaker can be mounted low...

    Has anyone eliminated the fresh water tank?

    Yes, its been installed for a couple years now and I love it!! Having a long enough hose means I can rinse the entire boat down, and its not just a small trickle of water which comes in handy, and the spray nozzel has a few settings which gives you options, for a gentle rinse or a jet of...

    JL M VS MX Series

    I don't think the M770s alone would be worth it...but it would sound good. Instead I would add 2 more pair of the MX650s, 1 set in the cabin, the other off the transom so you get sound out back. Im a big fan of those speakers off rear because you then have full sound front to back. Then you...

    JL M VS MX Series

    The short answer is yes, you can fit them, likely with a spacer depending on where u want to mout them. Can you list out the current equipment you have @Ctheodores...that makes a diff in what you might want to run. Depending on what you have, M vs MX would dictate the best fit. I actually...

    JL M VS MX Series

    Yes, there is a SUBSTANTIAL difference. The MX are really solid speakers, I ran 4 pair and fed them 75 watts rms from a JL amp on my initial setup. The size of the voice colis and power handling in the M series is a big step up, not sure what specs you saw. I sold my MX650s and went with M770s...

    JL Audio complete Upgrade, 242 Limited S E, 2016,

    That looks great...sure it sounds amazing!
  12. Jaylex

    Guess the audio system cost...

    Looks like a solid system, and you cant go wrong with JL Audio....their stuff is top notch. To somone elses point, if you can start with JL you wont be disappointed!! It is pricey, and you almost question if its worth it, but once your on the water and hear it you will be happy... To that...

    2019 AR240 Audio upgrade

    That's the cool thing about this forum, you get to learn a lot, esp about things your not sure can be done. Someone on her has prob done it, but might not have been posted in a conspicuous thread. Now you can have it how you want and not need to second guess yourself....we've all done it I'm...

    Sub in a box or free air?

    I think it comes down to the type of music you listen too as well, and how much space you wanna give up. From my understanding IB subs dont play low frequencies as well as subs in a enclosure. When I bought my boat, dealer showed me the sound system on a 242X and I was underwhelmed to say the...

    2019 AR240 Audio upgrade

    Yeah, you might need to make yourself one. Although I have seen some in ebay, or google but depends on how thick you want it I have both my subs in ported boxes and have vents to let the bass escape so cant speak to the mounting of it, but have seen a few people on here do it.

    2019 AR240 Audio upgrade

    Those amps should be happy with 2 batteries....depending on what kind... I run 2 batteries for my system, 4 amps and never had any issues...so long as you keep then charged you should be good!! You've come this far...I say do it...now if you had some M880 towers and throw them 200 rms each...

    2019 AR240 Audio upgrade

    Im baised but I say throw them in....whats it hurt...turn it down if its too loud, thats what my wife does, lol Do you have the amp power for another set, if so do it!! Plus if you do it now then you can avoid spending the summer wishing you had and wanting it done later. I did my system in 3...

    Multiple battery setup question

    What kind of batteries did u have originally before the upgrade? I only have 2 group 29 deep cycle batteries and those push the 4 amps I have and luckily no low battery msg in the last 2 yrs....with 3 you should be able to play all weekend!! Do you have an onboard charger?

    Best Speakers to replace stock 2016 242 LS speakers?

    @cgcaraway You can do this in stages and start with one amp, then as your systems grows you can add a second amp. I would start with a JL 800/8, it gives you a ton of power in a single amp and is configurable to suit many needs. You could start with the 4 main speakers, and have enough room...

    2019 AR240 Audio upgrade

    Nice build, esp like the painted cans!! How does it sound, do you run a EQ? Im kinda late to the party but... I did a similar build with MX650s, and then M770s.....the difference for me was really about how loud the MX650s could go, and it wasn't enough when I would crank them, esp up in...
