it was raining all weekend, so I made a fort and started on my stereo install. I ended up draping a big tarp from my bow, over the tower, then into the garage, so I had free access to the boat without having to get wet. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/309328.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR>As for the install, First I needed to make some mounting plates for the 2 amps im adding. <BR> <BR>I glassed some marine plywood, carpeted them, then glued them inside the storage compartment. <BR> <BR>I'll be mounting a ppi 4125 on the bottom, and and eclipse 4 channel on top. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/309327.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR> <BR>one thing I still need to figure out is how do I get to the wired remote at the drivers side. I'd like to take the whole panel off and add some rca binding posts for my ipod. <BR> <BR>This week I get to install a new clarion deck, An isolator, extra batt, and a pair of nvs tyrants. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/309329.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by dizzyj on March 20, 2006)

DJ, <BR> <BR>What kind of glue did you use? Did you cover the entire back of the board?

Jon, <BR> <BR>I used gorrilla glue, found at home depot. You got to be carefull with that stuff, if you look carfully, you will see that I put duct tape on the carpet so the glue dripped on the tape. I used a good bit of glue. <BR> <BR>I also had to build up part of the boards. The inside wall on anything but even, so I had to gorrilla glue another 1/4" thick piece for the top. Then I glassed the peices. <BR> <BR>Here is another question while im thinking of it. I'd like to use a neutrik 8 pole connector for the tower speaker connection, so I have some extra connectors to power lights on, but I'm concerned that I cannot run power through thoes connectors (or at least its not a good idea to run power+sound on one connector). Any ideas?

amps mounted and wired up. Ill post some pics tonight. I dont like seeing the wires, so I think im going to make a false wall with a plexy window to view the amps. Then I can add led's
