Hey jcyamaharider, any chance you can do a YouTube video of your set up and turn it up for everyone to listen to your masterpiece?
As one of @jcyamaharider good friends his system was crazy before. Now with the upgrades it's going to be insane. I will say his old setup sounded awesome and perfectly tuned. I can't wait to hear the new set up.

You will need a little cocktail table in there!
That is awesome. I don't think anyone has done something like that.

Thanks @swatski . I hope it turns out good. Time will tell, still a ton of work ahead of me. Hopefully I will at least get to hear part of the stereo tomorrow.

oh BTW I also got these. Well worth the money. IMO.

LMAO. Does look nice. But @swatski, I've always had rgb Leds on my amps. I've just never showed you, so I guess no one on here knows about it. Lol.

I envy that rack. Helps consolidate room.

Let me start off saying I don't ever want to do this again. Huge pain in the butt, but will be well worth it. I still have some wire covering that I need to put on and some wire collecting points to mount but I am pleased with the upgrade. Also still waiting my other 10 to get here. I havent wired up the led yet, I will do that when i have to get back in there to wire up the other sub.

Love that Stinger breaker!
Mr Sandbar King???



But I'll tell you, the more I read about your guys' big stereo projects the more I love my clarion xc1410 micros, lol.
Looks like you should be able to take the whole shelf out pretty easily when going offshore etc.

Did you do the WS wireless boat link?

What is that thing the shelf rests on? It is driving me nuts because it is at an angle and in the middle of the floor lol.

Make sure you get a good aux cable for the A-Link. Distortion seems to happen more with cheaper cables. In our coves if I'm not pushing out, I hardly link up lol. I don't trust many other setups and it seems many push distortion to my speakers with it. lol But I do love how we can have 5 or so boats all linked up wirelessly now. Few years ago we all had to get long aux extensions and all. Thank God for the "Present Future Technology"

We rotate normally. But all depends on what's going on at the coves.

@adrianp89 , I just realized I didn't answer your question, that is the box for the servos on the floor.
