Fusion, But I am having no luck finding this part online. Maybe call fusion.

So I played with the settings in the app which I found you can reach via the head unit on the swim deck. I had already set these settings. Maybe its my tastes but the bass just seems very light for the sub. I will definitely be adding two amps. One for the soundbar and the other for the sub. I wonder if the 2019's have any RCA jacks in the back of the head unit? I think I read somewhere that you have to tap in to the wiring harness. Can anyone confirm?

@CDENsomnia Have you upgraded your stereo yet?

I added the wetsounds as-10 500 watt sub. Yamaha basically made it so we have to splice in to wires to upgrade anything. I had to buy a speaker input to rca adapter just to get signal to the sub. I would be interested to see what people do if they wanted to upgrade the whole dang thing. Sooooo many proprietary wires and config.

Stunning boat! Congratulations!

@CDENsomnia, so how does the new sub setup sound? You happy with the bass sound? How much improvement over stock?

Hey I'm heading down this same path with the sub. Do you have the MS-RA70 on the transom? Do you recall what had been done with all the wires Fusion reports in their manuals? See my post from today for a link to the Fusion manual I am referring to.

There *should* be a remote on/off signal wire, a sub out (or two), and two "line out" preamp level signals (one for each zone), but without pulling the head unit and poking around I'm not able to confirm we have these wires. On my 212 (no sub, no additional amps stock) I'd expect these wires to be capped or dangling back there.

 

[CDENsomnia]

So on mine I had no dangling wires or even the ability to just add the pigtail. I had to patch in to the wires going to the factory amps to get the left and right signal. Then used the converter to convert to RCA. The factory has basically made it as hard as possible to just add to the system without ripping everything out. Works well but not as clean as I would have liked.

 

[Sarcophosaur]

I forget which models came with factory amps, so I'll hold out hope I'll find some loose wires I can utilize and avoid the whole speaker level to line level converter box, haha.

Thanks for the info!

ra70 pigtail

Do you know which models may or may not have an open spot for that pigtail? It's hard for me to understand which circuits and harness plug ports may be used by non-X series boats.

Pull the head unit and remove replace the pig tail, you are just replacing one for the other not adding
