Scarab LED Lights

Are the interior lights blue only on an Impulse?

How about just the HO ?

 

[Ray Rosas]

From Scarab, there are blue dot LED around the floor and they are only solid BLUE. All the Kicker speakers "were" wired solid blue but if you pull them out they have RGB all color wires.
To make them function you need to simply wire them with RBG wires (Black,RED,Green,Blue) to this Kicker KMLC remote http://www.kicker.com/41KMLC
After that you are set for solid color change or multi functioning lights. I have a 2017 but I know 2016 have the exact same speakers, not sure about older models. Last the remote RF cable included just needs 12v power, I set it to the same blue floor LED power & ground. The under water lights are RGB drain plugs on mine. I had the dealer install these. .... Each have 9 LED and I have 2 drain plugs.... forgot to add...the solid line you see on the lower tower section is a led strip. my 195 has the new 2017 tower similar to the 255 tower on 2016s, so I have a great mounting spot there tucked away.

saw that last part of your question... LED on HO or only on Impulse... I actually have the Platinum with a tower added and premium sound set up, so I might not be the best person to answer if the Blue interior LED were included or a true upgrade. sorry about that part

I understand , thanks !

Where is the power located I added 4 more tower speakers and a solo baric 12 with the LeD grill and wired all the rgb colors in, just wondering where you tapped into the power

If your boat doesn't come with the led's you can add the kicker led grilles. You can also replace the stock white interior lights leds, I did in my SeaDoo. They may be the same bulb.

SPOLLY, did you find a spot for a 2nd battery? any pics ? I haven't yet but I don't leave my sound on when anchored until I do. I thought about turning the mounted one sideways and seeing if a second one then fit next to it...any thought?

 

[Rusty Fishook]

and if no one heard yet Kicker is coming out with these new Towers where you can get an 11" with horn http://www.kicker.com/kmtc-horn-loaded-tower-systems

Yea I mounted it in the compartment behind the drivers seat, I also added a selector switch I can take a picture of that way I select 1 or 2 or both, I ran the output back to the factory switch I’ll also take pics of where I placed it. The sub I put in sounds awesome, more then likely replacing the sub that came with the boat with a Solo baric L7 8 inch sub

Is that SOLO marine or water proof?... that spot always gets hit with water over the front when you crash wakes. I'm just ordered2 of the new Freeair Kickers Marine subs 2x 12" . Mounting 1 in the current 8" factory sub location and the other on the opposite side. . If I get my battery idea to work both in back I'll post pics. The SOLO may have looked better because its in a squared shape area but I wanted to run free air without the enclosure required and much less power draw.

This freeairs look sweet, I wish I knew about the HLCD’s before I put the four up I did. The Solo is rated for marine use, atleast the L7’s are. I used two kxm1200.1 amps, I’ll use the second once I throw the the solo 8 in there.
The reason I put the sub where I did is because it’s the only place to fit a 12 inch sub, so before you buy those make sure to measure cause I had the same idea as you. A round 10 will fit but I don’t think a 12 will. I could be wrong.

I left the existing battery cutoff switch and added a selector switch. The second batter is under the bench behind the drivers seat.

Does anyone know how to actually turn the LED lights ON?
They don't come on when the stereo is on (and my boat has them).
I've tried all the nav light and courtesy light switches too.
User error I'm sure. Thank you all

I think I answered this on a different post by accident-
if you bought it used they may have been changed form factory static blue and some added an RGB color controller that uses a remote control. The controller is only $30ish bucks by Kicker in case you need to replace it. Kicker makes same looking speakers withOUT LEDS. look at the back of one and if you see the RGB wires than your good if you DONT, then you don't have any LEDs in the speakers. I upgrade my Scarab to a Glaston GT 229 to and I use a multi-zone controller...thsi is what that looks like - I moved all my Scarab Kicker to my Jeep. I only use WETS SOUNDS now. 1000% better

 

[rudyv1]

My kicker speakers are the correct LED ones, with the RGB wires (Photo attached).
Still can't get them to turn on on matter what I do in terms of the dip switches on the boat for the lights.
Quite the mystery indeed.

How did you turn them on? What switch is it? I bought a used 2017 and I know it has them but I can’t figure out how to turn them on….HELP! ?

Do you operate the leds by a remote? Is there a switch on the boat itself? I have a 2017 and cannot figure it out….HELP ?
