AR 190 sound system upgrade

[talbert89]

Hey guys I’m new here and have not seen to many examples of upgrades for the ar190 sound system. I went ahead and did one on my own and this is what I did, hope it helps anyone looking to upgrade. I replaced all the stock speakers with Polk audio from Amazon they were around $90 a set. I cut 2 additional holes and added 2 mid cabin 6x9s also Polk audio around $100 for 2. Added a ds18 25 inch sound bar to the wake tower $320. Wired it all to a Rockville 8 channel amp $190 using tinned wire. I am very happy with the way it sounds. Let me know if anyone has any questions or wants me to upload pictures of any of it

Pics or it didn't happen.

Love the soundbar on my 190. I 'm running an internally amplified Wetsounds Stealth 10 Ultr-HD. Still have the stock head unit and no amp, but did move to Polk DB651s speakers. Night and day difference in output just changing the speakers to something with more quality.

Only thing I might do is add a sub at this point. We can already turn it up loud enough to hear underway. Just needs to "fill out" the sound a little.

That’s all the major components if you want the link to the rca cables and speaker wire or the Bluetooth controller for the led lights in the sound bar let me know. Also I attached a few pics of where I put my amp my 2 new 6x9s and the sound bar hope that helps.
