Oem harness for tower speakers to amp. 2018 242x

[Bajd98]

Hints on how to get one. Have static in tower speakers and sound bar. I’d rather try to see if bad harness before getting a new amp. Advice on new amp welcome too. 2018 242x

Can you describe the static or a video? So that I may help.

 

[Bajd98]

Can’t do a video right now but the static comes through the tower speakers. It is loud and does not change volume even if you turn music down. Speakers are fine bc they sound fine when connecting them to the other amp. It has to be either the amp or the harness connecting the amp to the speaker wires?

 

[Bajd98]

This is what I think I need to replace if not the amp

Ok so you are talking about the white noise (shhhhhh) when the amp is on and audio is paused and playing. I believe it maybe from the amp preset input gains. I tried grounding the RCAs and also found it to be present when you just unhook the input harness. I will go out in test mine in a minute. Also have you tested that Left is left and Right is right on the tower and boat when fading L to R. It was a issues on '18 242x boats. It mono's the sound.

It’s not really white noise. It’s a loud crackling sound not smooth.

They crackle no matter what. Music playing, sound turned down etc. it’s like the amp is pushing feedback back or a wire is messed up. I’m first owner and there have been no problems till this suddenly began

So is it with audio playing? Is it there when boat is on the trailer / no movement?

Try unhooking just the sound bar one speaker may be blown and the pop/ crackling might be a speaker shorting out. fade left to right to see if it happens more when you go from L/R. Do you fold your tower much.

the connector is a molex mx150 they are water tight and tinned crimp ends I do not see it being the issue

I have never folded tower. The speakers are fine when played from the other amp. It crackles as soon as key is turned on no matter whether in water or work rack. Thanks for the connector information. So you know what the amp is as well by chance so I can order a new one

Are you still under warranty?

Are you still under warranty?

Audio is only one year so no

 

[jacoviii]

So it is a oem wet sounds DSP HTX4. F5V-UE632-00-00 but it will probable need programmed
Or you can get a the after market Wet Sounds HTX4 and be able to adjust the setting your self. You will need to cut the harness and add RCAs to the end not a big deal.

 

[Bajd98]

Htx4 sounds easier then. Or would htx-6 be better?

 

[jacoviii]

The Htx4 is what is on the towers 2 ch L&R to the 8" and 2ch L&R to the sound bar. the HTX6 is boat amp. If you are adding more tower speakers then maybe the 6 they are both 100 per ch @ 4 ohms
