2020 195S Build Thread WARNING PIC HEAVY

[Hoyt]

The Revo 6s sound incredible. I didn’t hook up the RGBs yet either but I will at a future time with the RF controller.

They do indeed sound great. We never boat at night so rgb does us no good at all

Honestly dusk is as dark as we get on the water as well. That said, the LEDs pulsing with the music seems pretty sick.

Very nice. Now I'm adding this upgrade to my list!

Hi @Hoyt what is the Mac rms of those ?

Hi @Hoyt what is the Mac rms of those ?

I belive they are 100 watts rms and 200 peak

Here's where the sub ended up finished. It's wired to the cabin syndx6. Channels 5&6 bridged. Giving it about 500 watts at 3/4 gain. I may end up rebuilding the enclosure. I wanted it against the back wall instead of against seat. It works, and great. However, I may rebuild and move it:

Here's the video to the sound and description of sound system. True potential of course is only what you're listening device will allow, but it sounds great. As you can hear when I turn the towers up, and your behind the boat you get blasted with sound. Sub is still there, and you can hear it:

Also added heavy duty industrial velcro to my anchor cushion to keep it from potentially blowing out while trailering. Same for starboard aft cushion. The only two not hinged basically. No issues so far at 70-75 mph:

Super easy. Just take positive wire and hook to channel 5 positive. Then take negative wire and hook to channel 6 negative. That's it for amp. Then take other end of wires and hook positive to positive on sub, and negative to negative. Done. If it's a wetsounds sub only use one of the sets of sub terminals. They have two, but you only need one hooked up

Easy enough, thanks Yes it's a WS Revo 10" free air.

Well I took the plunge on the reborn rack and it looks like I can make it work with out removing it to put the tower down. Like with everything else with this boat the clearances are tight.

Have the same rack and swivel mount, but haven't installed yet. Does the swivel get mounted from the inside of the fixed mount on the tower itself?

No problem. Super simple

Thanks guys - i think i can hit 44 with two people. about 7400 RPM. Seems like i may have lost some RPMs, not sure, i seem to remember 7800 in the past.

Wonder if this is something happening with this engine. Only topping at 7000rpm now after my 100hr service lost 8-9mph. Anyone else experiencing rpm loss?

SUPER HAPPY! installed my 8” kicker towers with the 400watt kicker marine amp. Trial run yesterday afternoon . Could hear them while wakeboarding @ 22mph behind the boat! The LEDs are nice just wished you could sync them to the music. Don’t have my woofer yet like @Hoyt , but that’s coming next. I installed amp on the board Far back of the passenger rear storage, shorter run to the fusion and the battery. I can also take the board out easily to add my upcoming 2nd amp. Just worried about when I add the perco and second battery

@Hoyt thanks again for your thread here super helpful with my project! Here are some pics

The board you attached the amp to is the rear of the battery compartment?

Correct that's where he mounted his

Yea correct - I removed it, mounted everything then screwed it back in

I honestly ain't done nothing bro. Upgraded the rear speakers to revo. Just replaced the Duracell batteries because we killed them. Other then that ain't done nothing but enjoy it. Did suck up a bunch of shells on a beach. Sooooooooo..... Wear ring needs to be replaced. That'll be coming over winter probably. I'll document that. No huge deal just cavitates pretty bad at a dig, and losses some top end (43ish now). So wear ring and maybe solas impeller coming in off season. Probably will upgrade front speakers to Revos as well. Other then that we just enjoy what was built. Might do the Cobra fun upgrade Jeff been telling me about as well. Still love my set though. Must say I've become quite the pro. 50 hour service I'll probably do this spring as well. Still only at 35 hours, and we go out every Sunday. Basically though.... We just love it

This is a great thread, thanks. I assume you can upgrade the speakers without adding the amp/extra batteries etc, and if so do/would they sound better then the stock speakers?

Yes you can easily upgrade without amp. You will notice a difference, but without an amp to push them you won't notice a "louder" difference. If that makes sense

Thanks Hoyt. One more question as I have just ordered a Blue 2022 195S with no delivery date. The interior lights in the boat on the 195s, how many are there and where are they located. I think I read that they are white, and I would assume LED, are they easily changeable to be a color?

I'm pretty sure there is only 3. One in each drink holder cubby. They are white led that's correct. They aren't very bright at all though. Enough that you don't trip at night, but that's it. If you're looking to light it up with a bright color then changing your stock speakers to a RGB version is your best bet, or just run LED strip lights all around the boat.
