While messing with my mid cabin speaker install today I decided that the battery compartment on my 242X wasn't laid out very well and that it could be arranged better. Here is what it looks like:

After some measuring, it looked promising that I could but both batteries in line with each other, but I was going to have to move the main switches up and to the left to accomodate the batteries.

So I moved the switches, shifted the batteries, and installed my Guest dual bank charger (the blue box on the lower left).

Next, I will install the Wetsounds amp on the left side behind and under the extra switch I installed to cut off the amps from the batteries (not sure why Yamaha didn't route them to the main switch, but I want to be able to isolate them completely).
