Hey... if u have the stock radio u will need an adaptor plate to mount the radio... Bruce did all the leg work and jet boat pilot can make u one. It is NOT the one on the Web site... it's too small... if u call jSo I ended up going with the following...
- 6 Polk MM651UM (4 cabin and 2 transom)
- Wet Sounds HT-4 amp
- Fusion MS IP600g with Remote and Bluetooth attachment
I figure I have a couple ways to wire this so not sure what would be the best..
Amp is rated at
- 110 rms x 4 @ 4ohms
- 150 rms x 4 @ 2ohms
Speakers rated at
- 100 rms
- 200 max
Option 1
Wire the 4 cabins in parallel across 2 channels and the 2 transoms each to their own channels. That would give me 150w to each of the 2 cabin channels or 75w per speaker and 110 watts per speaker on the transom. Will that cause imbalance with the cabins at 2ohms and the transoms at 4?
Option 2
Wire the 4 cabins to their own channels and wire the 2 transom to the dedicated head unit outs. That would give me 110w per the 4 cabins and 70w to the 2 transoms (per Fusion specs)
Which would sound better? Speakers are rated at 100 rms. So I would expect the transoms to sound better with the 1st option and the cabins to sound better with the 2nd option.
How much of a difference would I see between 75w and 110w?
I want good sound in the cabin when we are cruising but I would also like to hear the transoms while surfing. Not sure if 75 or even 110 would give me that.
What do you think? Anyone have a similar setup and which way did you go?
Thanks
Mike
Will @JetBoatPilot he can make u one thanks to Bruce giving him the dimensions. He is making one for me next week. It was like $50 or so... I'm kinda dead in the water working on mine untill they get it to me but its all good.
