Don't forget a new bow roller before it messes up that nice ceramic coating.
 
If I had your money, I would burn mine! ;)

Sweet looking!
 
Wow!.... and I though I was crazy having 3 XS XP3000’s and one XP 2500 (for my starting battery and just relaxing not blasting the stereo)
Must say, VERY impressive, Love it!.... it’s addicting isn’t it!... I only had 5 amps!.. LoL!... so you’re inspiring me, can’t wait to get a new boat!
Hey, is there any way you could post a schematic of how you hooked everything up?... I’d love to see it!..... I remember when I built my system I meticulously drew a schematic.... and you look as anal as me!.... LMAO!.....

So I'll be returning from deployment next week and the first thing I'm doing is picking up our new toy. The crazy thing is that it still has it's tags on. In fact it's never been in the water. It's been in the shop getting all the mods done for the past two months and it's now nearing completion. Once I get home and get a chance I will be doing a new updated build page with the end product to include detailed pics. We have a few Havasu trips also, so I should have some good pole pics to share...
 
Oh... and all that white wiring is the RGB Wires for the four zones of lighting... 1. Inner Speaker Grills, 2. Out Speaker Rings, 3. All Cup Holders and 4. Underwater Shadow Caster Lights. All controlled from the wetsounds head unit.
 
Where's this stripper pole ? LED's on it ?

No LEDs on the Pole. It will be on the swim deck area similar to my other two Yamahas. Only difference is that this one will be free standing as opposed to connecting to the tower. I'm picking the boat up Saturday morning. Should have pics up next week.
 
Here is the link to the specs of the two Wet Sounds XXX Subs

Each sub is rated for 2400 watts and I will have a Wet Sounds 2000 watt amp going to each of them. Additionally, I will have two Wetsounds Free Air 10inch Subs by the port and starboard Captain's Chairs.

The box will be in the rear starboard side storage compartment with vents cut into the circles in the photo below:

That is crazy, how are you planning on keeping all the rattles, vibrations under control with that many speakers, power? I only have two subs and had to add allot of sound deadening foam to keep it under control. Can still hear it at times even at half volume.
 
I am curious about supplying the power. I think I would have went with a bank of golf cart batteries for this, you would probably get significantly more play time. At full tilt this thing will pull nearly 500amps, 4 of those batteries combined are rated for 508 amp hours. That is not including the amps for the XXX. I really think you will have voltage issues if you crank this thing for longer than a demo.

I had 6 six volt golf cart batteries in my 2013 212SS but decided to go a different route this build. We shall see!

I had 2 12s in the same spot on my 2013 212SS and didn't have any issues. If in fact we do have rattles, we will adjust and figure something out.
 
I can't wait to see where you are putting the nuclear reactor to power the thing... (make sure the cooling water inlet doesn't get jammed with weeds)
