After a year if wanted to upgrade my stereo system, and a few go arounds at it, its finally complete. I have to give some props to the boys at Car Toyz in Lake Havasu for doing the install, changes , and working with my stuborn ass. Big props to ROZ, for answering all my questions and setting me up with some kick ass speakers! Rivercrazy also helped out as well.
The stereo is louder, and I can hear it outside the boat now.
Here are the pix
The boston acoustic NX97 (I think that was the model #) satellite speakers. Working on some stands for them as we speak.

A pair of my seperates were moved from the baseboard on the rear bench to the side panels

Some of the wiring under the bulk head from my other 4 channel amp.

The new autotek 480 mounted in the the engine compartment. (my only concern, but it works just fine back there.) Running the new 6x9s & a pair of seperates

I also have a couple of subs & more seperates but no pix of those as there are part of the "old" system. lol :D

Thank you, if there is one thing I learned from this project, get it all done at once and have it done right. I have dicked around with my stereo set up more then once, and have paid for it. :mad: But I think I am finally happy now. :D
One more thing I forgot to add about the peeps at Car Toyz, the picked up my boat from storage (n/c) and fixed a flat on my trailer again (n/c) :cool: :D :cool:

That amp setup looks cool. I need to run into some money so I can do something like that. Can't wait to hear it Scuba!

We modify a 360 light and use the base to make it removable.

Looks good Scuba Savage:D I'm glad you finally got it done, but now you're gonna have to keep the boat for a while.
Riverbound, I like the matching red stripper pole on the front,and I made some 6x9 oval enclosures like those similar to the ones on the 25 Eliminator you posted a while back.

I like that idea, that might be something to be done in the off season. Mrs Scuba would kill me if I dropped another dime on this project right now. :D :cool:

Steve, Car Toyz also did the stereo in my boat, and it will give you a mean ear infection.

Scuba, I know what you mean. I think my wife would be kicking my ass if I tried to spend anymore money on the boat after the amount of coin I dropped into the stereo sytem a month ago.

We usually charge $300-350 Hot boaters will pay $250 for the fiberglass version. we are in the process of building a plug so we will be making them out of injected molded plastic soon so they willl be cheaper.

I was asking for that eventual day when you get a boat!
Actually I have a pair of 6.5 perfects laying around so why buy another pair of speakers! :D

I can make them for any size speaker. they are a true custom built piece.
