Thanks for the video, I have a smaller Robalo and your video gave me perfect location for battery switch cut off in the glove box. Was your boat wired that way from dealer? i wondered why glovebox was made very shallow on one side, looks made for that.. My cutoff is under a heavy large door on the stern and its a pain to open just to cut off switch. Thanks
Seems like there were two busses…big one for mains power, and a subpanel for lower amperage (the one with the cover). That should already be protected by a 20ish amp fuse. They make these cool butt connecters that have solder and shrink wrap. Probably really good for stuff like this.
Cool video but was wondering why you didn't install a fuse for the Amp? And you didn't use heatshrink on the main positive connector to the battery switch,
Do you have Amazon affiliate links for this stuff? Looking to buy an amplifier, upgraded speakers and box sub-woofer. Hate to think about cutting a hole in the side of the console.
don't think i would let this guy install anything in my boat, the amp for my 6.5's have a bigger power and ground and a fuse, why connect the amp to battery 1 when it should be hook to the ON terminal of the main switch ( no power when main power is off )
Yes your gonna need to tune it to the sub you have HZ if it’s your first time I’d just mess with it while it’s playing and see what sounds best. Can’t really explain tuning an amp wish I went more in depth on it
audio shop will tune it for 20-30 bucks with SMD controller to maximize hz, freq, and X overs, if u do it by ear, u risk damage voice coil in the sub/ speaker
Thanks for putting out the video. I need to set up a Yamaha music mixer and hook up some wireless mics etc. They are using DS speakers and amp. They said it runs on 12 Volt battery which is what I am trying to figure out since the power on these items are 120 volt.
Or should I Of got some 4 gauge and cut half the wire off and shoved it in the sub with frays sticking all out so my positive an negative touch? Lol it’s like 200 watts I’ve ran 14gauge in my truck years back on 3k watts and slammed every day an never burnt a wire.
Great video. Really helpful and having fun makes it better to watch

Glad it helped
This is so elementary but yet so entertaining. Good job young bucks. Nice boat.
i would seal the hole you cut for the sub
I want to know how it sounds, and does it rattle the whole boat or console
Outer banks pt2😂💪🏻

Just bought the same kit. Going to install it soon. Hoping for some thump! Not expecting much, but a little more would be nice. Nice vid!
I’d love to hear it after the amp was adjusted
Is it advisable to put sealant around the speaker and fiberglass? So it doesn't leak water when it rains/splashes from running the boat?
Speakers have a rubber seal

Amp has a fuse on the wire that comes out of it already an I ended up wrapped it in some red electrical tape didn’t have heat shrink big enough.
This channel is underrated asffff
Appreciate it!!
Hell ya 🔥🔥🔥

Lol that is how it’s wired and the power an ground out of amp is the same size as wire I used, low power tiny amp
Did you change the settings on the back of the amp? I'm confused as to what I need to do with that.

is that the only amp you ran for the boat. are the jl 7 inch mids just running off the head unit?

Do you need to put any silicone around the speaker before final install?
i would suggest it on a marine install
Seems very thin wire for 300w
Keep up the vids. good content for sure!
Sweet!! Nice job bro!!
Did you need to buy speaker cables?
That was the wire from amp to speaker. Can buy a role almost anywhere Walmart for example
14 gauge wire to power the sub? Yikes.
If the sub connections only take that size wire…

are both your trucks 4.8?
No sir ext cab is a 5.3
90% of the time
🤣🤣
Can i put a 10 inch marine sub in my car ? They say they dont need enclosures ?
No you'll need a box center consol is a "enclosure"
