Just wanted to thank Brian and everyone at Exile for helping me put together the stereo we now have. It's the hybrid setup and it is working nicely. Started out with only the tower speakers and no bass but found out quickly a bass is REQUIRED for any good sound. Only thing we havn't upgraded are the boat speakers but that probably won't be happening unless we blow a few.
It's amazing what a bass will do to enrich the sound of the overall system. Also wasn't thinking we really needed the ZLD (controler found in picture 2 mounted under helm, right side) but WOW does it ever add to the power of the system. Initially was running the sound through the deck but when run directly from the ZLD, it is amazing how much cleaner and powerful the sound is.
Installed a Promariner Battery Charger (right side of second picture, yellow/black/gray) after finding out how much stereos suck your batteries down if you are really using the system. So now we plug our boat in at night, top off the batts and are good to go the next day with full power. Now we joke about plugging in our boat calling it the electric boat (fitting for all the Dems in Oregon, that we are not)
Install was done by me so if something looks odd, (don't think so) I take full responsibility. Help also came from Majestic's post a while back too.
Have done seveal "sound checks" out on the water and all reviews indicate nice clear sound for the surfer and the wakeboarder. Having a guy in your "backyard" to help you with the details and having patience to boot is fantastic. Thank you Exile.
(This is not about one stereo vs another, just a public thank you to Exile and that is it.)

I never heard back from you after I sent you my sub build info so I assume all went well with that?
