Sound System Help

[Elio195HOI]

Good Evening,

I have a 2014HOI with premium sound system installed. Everything has been working fine except for the weird noises while the exhaust fans is on (Interference of some Kind). Took the boat out a few weeks ago with no issues, pick it up this past sunday, turned the battery on, turned the radio on and no sound. radio turns on but all 3 amps are lighting up with a red light vs blue and cutting off (Indicating a short or problem in the system my guess) Checked for loose/shorted wires and no luck. discounted all speakers and same thing, hooked up 1 by 1 and same thing. Not sure what to do at this moment. Contacted MarineMax but with my past experiences, I'd rather try and solve myself before losing the boat for 5 months. What could it be? Time for a rewire and sound system upgrade, lol. Any advice is appreciated.

Rewire and upgrade. I just rewired my 2015 215 HOI and upgraded all speakers and replaced amps. So much better sounding. The premium system was not impressive.

Yup he's right. Btw @Pinhacker71 how did it come out!? Share some pics!

Thanks, What did you end up with? One 6ch amp or did you divide it up into several like factory?

Here you go @DJMattyT. Not the best pics. Also installed seadeck. Feels amazing and looks great. @Elio195HOI I installed 2 JL audio 6 channel amps. One for my 4 in cabin speakers and pair of swim deck speakers, one for rev8 and new 10 inch sub. Amp for rev8 and sub is bridged into 3 channels. Sounds amazing and zero distortion at high volume.
