Z3 order?

[Yzfrenfro]

I'm thinking of taking advantage of the holiday savings Tige is offering and ordering a z3. Are there any must have options that y'all can recommend on the z3? Here is what my current order sheet has on it....

2014 z3 Indmar 350
Pro ballast
Surf Bimini
Z tower with 4 rev 10s
Transom remote
Fresh water strainer
Extra pull up cleats
Convex vx
Additional sac's
Dual underwater lights
Wet sounds 420 eq
Trailer with 18"s

Thanks in advance!!!

Stainless rubrail
Heater depending on location
Factory cover
Poseidon Mat instead of the carpet
Swivel surf/board racks

As far as I know additional sacs and the ws 420's are not a factory option. If your going to want a huge stereo I would consider doing it yourself. You can build a stereo with the same speakers(and the 420) with better amp set up(new SDs vs. the Syns) for way less than the factory cost. I would also consider the flex gel as it looks super sharp.

Everything boardman listed and:
Tower Accent Lights
Z Cline Captain's Chair
Battery Charger
Tivoli Steering Wheel
Personally, I'd think twice about 4 tower speakers. A single pair of rev 10s puts out a LOT of sound. That combined with the fact that at 6'6" I'd hit my head on the inner speakers.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, can anyone give me any recommendations on what the best amp set up is for running the 4 rev 10s with the sub and interior speakers. I want to make sure I get the maximum sound out of the speakers.

Thanks in advance

Wet Sounds SD-2 for 2 pair of Rev-10 for sure. For 6 in-boats and sub, need to know the sub. An SD-6 will power 6 in-boats and deliver 585 watts RMS for a nice 12 sub. Or and SD-4 for the in-boats in an SD-2 for 1200 watts RMS for a sub or 2.

[What she said]

4 REV 10's= Wet sounds SD2 amp
What sub are you going to run? I would loose the stock 10" sub, and replace it with the XXX 12 and power it with an SD2 also. You will need a alot of sub to keep up with the 4Rev 10's.
In boat= SYN4, unless you want all the amps to match then you will need a a SD4 (gained way down)
Other with more experience will chime in soon.

I personally don't think the 350 is enough for that boat, might want to think about an engine upgrade.

I demoed a 2012 Z3 with the PCM smaller engine and it seemed like enough power, but I was concerned that with almost a full boat and surfing or wakeboarding the smaller engine may not be enough. I have heard many changed out the stock prop to give them a better hole shot and are happy with the smaller engine. We went with the 415hp in our 2014 are happy with it and think it was the right choice.

Good luck on the buying decisions. Have fun with it!

The 180* mirror from PTM edge is awesome too!

I have 2 sd6 amps running 4 rev 10's at 585 per speaker. I use the remaining 2 channels to power the in boat speakers. It is a nice setup you just have to be careful with the gains.

Going to demo a z3 on Wednesday and hopefully if everything goes well with the demo, sign the papers this weekend. And start picking colors. Thanks for all the helpful input fellas.

If you have a shallow ramp, think twice about the trailer with 18" wheels. Those type of trailers usually have the outer gunwhale of the boat sitting above the fender (i.e., higher up than a trailer with smaller wheels). This results in needing to be deeper to launch.

Bigger engine.

Consider one pair of Rev10s and use XS808s in the cabin rather than the XS650s. And stay far away from that open air 10" sub.

Surf bimini a must.

Skip the stock swivel racks and go with Samson aftermarket.

Skip the factory cover and go with a strapless aftermarket.

Skip extra factory bags of hook up with Chpthrl.

Definitely get an onboard battery tender (but that is probably aftermarket).

X2 on the samson racks - they are way nicer and alot cheaper
