Sound System Recommendations (soundbar?)

[Nkc240]

Hi gang,

So after a full year of enjoying my 2015 ar240, I'm finally fed up with the sound system. I don't mind it while we're floating but when we're on the go, I really can't hear anything until I full blast the volume. I've been looking at different options but I have recently come across the new 17 212x soundbars that seems to fit my needs perfectly. I want something that's not intrusive and can swivel down while we're cruising. I don't enjoy blasting loud music anymore but I would like to at least hear something when we're moving.

Has anyone experienced these Wet Sound sound bars? I'm looking at the 10 speaker passive version to compliment the stock system. How hard would it be to install? I assume its got an internal amp so I just have to route a pair of wires to the stock amp and another positive to the battery?

I have not seen or heard these speakers yet. Please chime in if you have or any other recommendations. Thanks.

I added a pair of Roswell 8" Tower speakers, and I added two Roswell 6 1/2's to the swim step at the beginning of the summer and it made a huge difference. I can finally hear music while we are boating. As far as sound bars, I have heard very good things about the wet sounds sound bar, link below.

I love my Wetsounds sound bar......in my Can Am Maverick. Not sure it would have the power or sound I'd be looking for in a boating situation. Maybe someone who has one on their 242x can chime in @Julian ?

Did not modify or replace the cushions, there is just the right amount of fiberglass next to the cushion backs for a 6.5".

Did you replace the amp with the 2 additional 6.5s in the swim platform?

I have two amps, one (500 or 600W)powering the 6 6.5s and one (500W) powering the 2 8" Tower Speakers.
