New Speaker System

[MichaelB14]

I see people always asking speaker placement questions, so I thought I would post mine. The boxes and the amp rack were both line-x. My goal was to get a good stereo without giving up all of my luggage space.

4 6.5"s hanging off the cage.

2 10" sub boxes made to fit on the wheel wells

Just a pic of the radio...

Splash resistent amp rack behind back seat...

6.5" in the doors

Nice job on the install. I think the Wakeboard tower speakers are a very good use of space in our rigs.

I know the kid in the back will get an earful! nice.

did you run the wire thru the cage?

Wanna do mine? ;D ;D %)

Got any other pics of the dash, looks real clean! I love the boat speakers, I wanna do that in mine too.

 

[jdevon]

looks very nice. how do you keep the amps cool?

 

[MichaelB14]

Yes the wires are run thru the cage. Secert to that is a shop vac. Duck tape it to the hole you want the wire to end up and feed a string thru the bottom hole. The shop vac will suck it right up there.

I will take more photos of the dash tomorrow in the daylight. I did want minimal stuff on the dash.

The amps stay cool with computer fans. One sucking air in over the amps and one pushing air out.

Monster Tower Speakers

They are not the cheapest thing (but fairly cheap for tower speakers). Luckily they are a sponsor for a website I own (http://www.wakeboardatlanta.com) so I got them for free.

So you run Wakeboard Atlanta? I read there and Wakeboard Alabama a couple times a week. Nice sites. ;D ;D

Yeah, both of those are my sites...

You got a boat? I ended up switching sponsorships to Mastercraft from this and so glad I did. Here is a pic of my boat...

Yea I have a Ski Nautique 2001 right now. This winter I am planning to put a tower on and build a ballist system in. I just started boarding this year so I am still working on getting up consistantly and getting comfortable on the board moving around.

here is a pic.

By the way Nice Boat!!!!

 

[MichaelB14]

Hands down that is the best boat for the money. I had a 89' 2001 as my first boat. Is there much room for a built in ballast in that thing? A tower will help a lot.

Here is the rest of the dash...

This is a center console I went with that is for a jeep made by Bestop. I think it worked out well.

 

[brian72]

That is clean...real clean

Alright, now you gotta give the rest of the details. Excellent rig, very clean and in good taste. What's under that beautiful sheetmetal? Also, on the dash, doesnt look like you have a pad but something else there (black...behind the roll bar/grab bar)?

No there is not a whole bunch of room but I am going to also be replacing the carpet this winter so I am going to build something like This on the sides of the engine and something like This for a back seat. There are some small changes I am going to make to each design to fit my needs but it will be basically the same design.

It was a "frame on" rebuild. Took me over 3 years. I still got some ongoing small issues, but for the most part it is finished. It just has a EFI 302 with a C4. One day I might replace the engine with a 351, but I was already in so deep I didn't want to spend the extra cash. It has 35s with a 3.5" suspension and 3" body lift. We custom built the nerf bars (stole the idea from a set of jeep nerf bars).

There isn't anything between the roll bar and the dash (no dash pad or anything else).

 

[MichaelB14]

I see now. I thought you were going to hide the ballast and couldn't figure out where you were going to do that. I would try to put backward seats in those two ballast boxes...
