Aloha and mahalo @Hoyt Cheee!Now that looks super good
The relay is quite simple but maybe you'll be OK without it. If you look closely, you'll see the metal jumpers in the ground fuse block. The Wetsounds distribution blocks come with them so you can use them as ground distribution as well. Looks clean with both matching. Good call on going bigger with the wire.... Make sure to use OFC and not CCA. I went down that road onceThanks for the pics guys.
@redthumper9 I canāt envision how your remotes line are set up so Iām probably going to just use a small bus bar to split the signal to the amps. Ive already powered 3 of the 4 at this way so hopefully one more wonāt be a problem.
Your amp install looks clean. I like the way the wiring is routed. I was a little concerned about the gauge of my power and ground cables, Although my total RMS watt output is under 1,200 my combined max watt output is about 3,300 so Iāve decided to upgrade my power and ground cables to 0 guage like you did (Iām already in over $2k and figure now is not the time to āgo econoā). I can reuse a few feet of the 4 or 8 gauge to run from the distribution blocks to the amps. My blocks will be separate from the fuses. Why did you put fuses on the ground cables to the amps? At this point I donāt mind spending the extra money but Iāve never seen fuses on ground cables? At the same time I just checked out the pics of wetsounds amps and if I paid that much for my amps I would want to make sure they are as protected as possible.
@rkim808 , no apology necessary. I love your custom sub setup but like @redthumper9 stated I use that compartment for storage so I canāt do what you did. I may be able to live with the sound my 10ā alpine sub will put out now that Iāve got a proper amp to drive it. If not Iām thinking of installing a bass tube in the compartment behind the co-pilotās seat or another Alpine sub in the upper or lower step at the bow.
thanks again guys.
I like the wiring and amp board. Looks good, very clean. How's the kickers sound? I was looking at those for my boat.Itās been a little while since my last update. The weekend I installed all of the wiring (but didnāt actually complete the connections at the head unit or batteries) for the new stereo and speakers as well as installed the stereo, wired remote, wireless remotes and two additional USB charging ports.
Next I have to fabricate(?) a new and bigger board to mount my amps and related accessories on.
Pics to come.
