That’s going to be my EXACT set up once the sub and amp comes in except I’m going with the Fusion 5 channel to push the sub. I never heard that being a problem before. Did you go amp to amp then amp to wire turn on? Or both separate to the turn on. Also where are your amps on your boat ?
Keep me updated on that because I may have to do something similar if mine doesn’t work. That’s a clean setup !
I didn't do anything fancy, just ran 1 remote wire from the head-unit split off to the two amps and everything works fine.
If you open the right rear swim deck storage door you can see the two holes that are predrilled so I just ran them through those with a fish.Looks good! Sounds better
How did you run your RCA cables? I started poking around the back of the boat today but didn't see any pre-exiting routing I could utilize to snake them through... Did you cut new holes to run them to he helm?
Wow I need to hear this one!!! That's a super clean set up. Mind telling me how the sub install went, and did you use any kind of backing for it? Thats the next thing I want to add, but I want to put mine in the battery compartment wall instead.
Also how do you like the swivel mounts? I have a big jetski crew that is always around the boat and I want to be able to turn the speakers sideways for them etc... do you find yourself swiveling them a lot?
The sub install went relatively easy. I used a template and drimel to cut the hole. On both my port and starboard storage areas there is about 1/2 or even 3/4 inch plywood lining the compartment with carpet over it. I used two drimel cutting bits for it. Just take your time.
I bought the swivel mount for just in case. I haven't actually used it. Just know that you will alway have to carry and allen wrench to loosen the screw to have them swivel.
Yeah I just figure I can lock them around a 30 plus degree angle so they can shoot out more to the sides vs just straight back cause the skis always hangout on the sides.
I'm thinking of going stage one plus which is a stainless steal wear ring and different impeller but trying to balance boat and ski.
What pitch impeller are you looking at? You want faster out of the hole or top end
I'm looking at top end. I don't race or anything and usually not a lot of 300s with the group I ride with. I've got a guy in Florida ready to take me to a stage 3 but I don't want to drive down there. I also don't like Riva's stuff. Especially the air intake for a seadoo. I deal with JP Racing Inc out of Ft. Myers, FL.
Stage 3 would be crazy, I would love it if I lived in Florida where you’d be able to ride for 10 months out of the year but up here in Jersey most skis are stock anyway so a stage one plus tears all the others up.
Exactly. They do a lot of runs down there for numbers. No seat and tanks almost empty. I'm doing 80 with a full tank and tons of crap in my storage. Plus I don't run it hard often because most are stock and max at 69/70. Plus it's fun just to enjoy the ride.
