Wetsounds has a new line of AMPS

[Timmy!]

You might be able to use a piece of tape to pull the dome back out on the tweeter.

Nobody, the only difference between 90 watts and 165 is about 2 and a 1/2 decibels, barely even noticeable, save the money your using on that amp and spend it some where else.

Are you happy with the sound? Where do you have them crossed over? The bass from them is pretty impressive.

Now this is so not true, but I'd love for others to chime in as this seems a little fishy.

I'll try but I'm doubtful

I just wanted more power in the bow area, the and the 808's do the job better than I imagined (with just 90 watts). Yes, the bass is just right, but then we have three 12" XXX with 750 watts each, so more is better. If I were to buy a new boat, I'd definitely install 808's all the way around.....4 in back and 2 up front minimum. Crossed over? As in Amp settings?? Still need to install line driver, HT2 and go from there.

Any updates on the bow 808s? Did you do the 165 watts?

Where do you have 3 12" XXX's mounted at Nobody?

Tim did it. Two in ski locker (port) and one under drivers box (starboard).

The system ran on all Hertz amps, but over time they all failed.

The last of the AMP upgrades comes in a week with the addition of a Sinister SD6.

Yes, used HT2 amp just the the pair of 808's.
Was thinking of tossing the HTS and using a SYN2 and putting four 808's in the bow.

Maybe someone has suggestions.

One thing for sure is how sweet the 808's are.

I've recommending the 808's to everyone recently....mostly non-wake boat fishing people.

I just wish the 808s had a cleaner install without having to cut the edge of the speaker.

Could you use a Syn-6 with four weaker channels to power the 4 cabin speakers and the two stronger channels to power 808s in the bow? Or do you think an HT-6 would be fine for 4 cabin speakers and the pair of 808s in the bow? EDIT: Never mind, I remember now that the t weak channels on the Syn-6 are only 60x4 watts (the root of my current problem).

Question: What is the difference between XS-808 and SW-808? Just the grill?

[boardman74]

Duncan...Standard(XS) and salt water(SW) from my understanding.

[chpthril]

Yep, just like the 65 and 650 series, they come in the SW style and XS style, but same speaker.

With both amps driving 2 pair, its only a 25W p/speaker difference, or 100W total. Im not sure you would really hear a difference. So probably not a good return on the investment, since you already have the HT-2 installed. If you were starting from scratch, I wouldn't talk you out the Syn-2, but at the same time, I think the HT-2 is a perfect choice.

Thanx Chap.......

SYN2 becomes a spare when the Sinister SD6 arrives for the tower. Since more is better, was wondering if another set of 808's would fit in the bow / front / lower pockets. The one that are beneath the very front, slightly slanted at a 40 degree. The SYN2 could possible feed all 4 808's. The HT is a great entry level amp that's right on target for budget pricing, but it's not what I'm used to.

[Duncan]

Stupid question here -- what is the effect of running more speakers on an amp than you have channels (e.g., 6 speakers on 4 channels, like stock Tower of Power setup).

Well, since you will be having a Syn-2 going begging after the installation of an SD-6, then its a wash, install the Syn-2 for your 808's

We must be talking about different HT amps..... Wet Sounds doesn't make any entry-level gear that im aware of.
