210 FSH Complete Audio Upgrade

[MrBubbaGump]

I just picked up a brand new 2022 FSH 210 Sport and as many of you know the audio system is, lets just say lacking. I have a SeaDoo Speedster 200 that I have a full JL Audio set up that I love so I am building my new set up off of that. So far I have ordered the following:

2 Pairs of JL M6 7.7 Speakers
1 JL M6 10in Woofer - (Still deciding if I want to mount on the port or starboard side of helm)
1 M700/5 Amplifier
1 M400/4

I am still researching / measuring for the following wires if anyone has input or has re-run the front speakers wires specifically. It would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to order too much or worse too little. Because I ordered the RGB versions of the speakers I will be re-running all speaker wire.

60 feet of Marine grade 6-conductor speaker/RGB cable
12 feet of either 2AWG or 1/0 AWG power wire
12 feet of either 2AWG or 1/0 AWG ground wire
2 Distribution blocks one of which will have built in fuse holders
3 feet (1.5ft per amp) of 4AWG power wire
3 feet (1.5ft per amp) of 4AWG ground wire
Fuse holder for power wire

Still debating between the new to be released JL MM105 head unit or the Kicker KMC5.

For those wondering why I chose those particular amps, I plan on adding two tower speakers later so I will be utilizing the M700 to its full potential in the future.

Update: Ended up ordering the JL MM105 Head unit & 2 x Rockville Audio's 4AWG marine amplifier kit, for the price it was worth just buying the kit and tossing aside what I wont use. Still working out how much speaker wire I will need as well as if 3 feet of patch cable will be long enough.

Project coming along… still waiting on the speakers to come in. Apparently they are on back order until middle of May. Crutchfield shorted me 13 feet of speaker wire, so make sure you guys measure it out when you get it, if you order it by the foot like I did. I feel like I need to note that there is one wire that has a wire cap on it, that was just to test the setup so far, as I am waiting for my replacement wire for that last speaker.

Awesome, cant wait to see how it turns out. I have a 210 fsh as well. The stereo system is definitely getting on the short list.

Phase 1 complete… 4 JL RGB M6 7.7, JL MM105 head unit, JL M400/4 & JL M700/5 AMPs. Ready for the water tomorrow! Sub still on back order and yet to order tower speakers.

Update to the build I completed phase 1 which included the four 7.7 JL M6 replacements for stock and 10 inch sub. This is similar to what I had in my SeaDoo but I didn't actually install the amp for that system originally and used whatever settings the installer had on the amp. When I installed my new amps on this boat I followed JL amp tuning to the "T"... Needless to say I have been pretty disappointed in the volume of the system, I just don't feel that its pumping out enough juice for the speaker I have installed. So before I buy a larger amp I decided I will go against all advice and turn up the gain just a little bit. From what I can tell it is all the system needed still crystal clear sound and much louder, unfortunately I am doing the tuning in my garage so it sounds louder than it probably will on the water. With that said however it is a significant improvement to the volume it was pumping out before.
