Be prepared with an ice pack or towel. The test fit is good, but when you have a full boat bouncing on the water, it just doesn't matter.
#1 reason I went with a sound bar instead of cans. I've still hit my head 11 times in the two seasons I've had it up there. Yes I keep count, mostly because my wife thought I would NEVER POSSIBLY hit my head on that.....I'm 6'2" tall and the tower is 6'3.5" clearance WITHOUT the bar.

So flipping switch to "High", and setting crossover to 85 sounds great. Adjusted treble down on head unit to kill the ear pierce. Thanks guys

Now for that annoying fuzz noise. I straight wired head unit ground to battery directly. Noise actually got louder. However, it is only present in my cabin speakers. Towers do not have the noise (separate Amps). I think I'm going to buy a ground loop isolator, but they hook to RCA. Unplugging RCA kills music, but fuzz is still present.

Don't so much want the head unit to battery ground, as you want it to the same ground as the amp.

I thought I read where you ran a heavy power and ground to the amp area and then buss bars from there. Run your head unit off these same bus bars.

Yeah ground is 4 gauge off the battery. Then it goes into Stinger distribution block. Comes out as 2-8 gauge to amps. I'll try putting radio wire into that distribution block

Awesome. I'll switch them over this afternoon for sure, and try that crossover setting
You probably know this, but for the edification of others, when using a sub for the deep bass, always use the HPF or High Pass Filter setting on all other speakers so they get only the freqs from about 80-100Hz and up (depends on setting). It's easier on the speakers and amp at high volumes when they don't have to work on those lower freqs at the same time as the sub. The sub channel should have LPF or Low Pass Filter set so only the low freqs go to the sub and the mids/highs are filtered out.

My fuzz noise is back. It's only my cabin syndx6 amp. The tower syndx6 has no noise. I've ran a new ground from radio to ground distro block, eliminated distro block. Ran straight to battery. Nothing. All didn't fix it.

Any ideas?
