    Looking for advice on a 2017 212X stereo upgrade

    Thanks to all that I’ve learned about stereos by following all the experts on this site, I’m thinking about a series upgrade to my stereo. Before I get into what I’m thinking of changing, here’s what’s in the boat currently (all factory installed): - Polk DB651’s in the bow and rear cabin -...

    Retain Stereo Settings

    Do you guys know of a way to keep my stereo setting when I remove my battery to charge? I'm taking the boat for a lake trip next week and I'll have to bring the batteries in at night to charge. I finally have the stereo set just the way I want and don't want to lose settings. Is there like a usb...

    Proposed Yamaha 242 Limited S E-series audio upgrade

    I am thinking about upgrading my factory audio system as shown in the diagram below. Does this look reasonable, or am I missing anything? The upgrade would use a Polk DB1040DVC 10" sub and a Polk D5000.5 5-channel amp. Any thoughts?
