stereo install finished

[sandm]

finally finished the stereo install on the 22ve. was a lot of work but I think it came out great..
big thanks to tigeidaho for the shop space..
thanks to tim at wetsounds and mike(chpthril) for helping with the tower speaker suggestions. the rest was up to me

the workbench, my boat and tigeidaho's boat..



the beginnings. a pile in the spare bedroom



where I spent most of the last 8 weeks living..

[sandm]

wiring everywhere..




the boat torn up.. sad to do to a brand new machine..


new speaker hole. boat only came with deck and 4 wetsounds inboats. added 2 more.

[sandm]

the finished product..

wired a separate puck and on/off switch to take it out of the tigetouch loop. now I don't lose stereo every time I turn the boat off.


2sets of icon8's on the tower..


new speaker under the drivers chair. thought it was better than under the dash. had to offset it due to a slight valley in that part..


speaker box. there's now a panel going all the way to the top. looks factory imo.. and you can still access medallion.


amprack finished.

Your probably glad your done. Lots of small spaces to fit into.

Looks good. You will like having a separate switch for the stereo, at least I like mine.

real happy overall with the install and sound. not crazy about the way the icon's are in the towers. don't really look straight, but not a big deal to me. might change it someday but they work. overall system sounds amazing.
added a 3rd battery where the amps are and a prosport charger in the rear compartment where the taps pump is. ran the plug up into the hatch where the shower is so now all I have to do when back from the lake is lift the hatch and plug the boat in.

hoping it will provide many hours of enjoyment to come. anxious to hear it on the water and really test out the amps. never had class g/h before. hoping for long runtimes..

come on summer

Looks good S, I am confident you are going to enjoy the Icons

[tigeidaho]

Looks good man. I can't wait to get going on ours.

Nice work sandm:

Looks great but why did you go with a sealed subwoofer system? My free air sub hits pretty hard.

I'm not sure on the Icons but with the Rev speakers you have to rotate the grills and drill new holes to get them to match up. Pretty simple to do but get someone to help you line them up. It sucks by yourself.

Looks awesome. Give Gyver a call at the office 877-938-7757 and he can walk you through how to rotate the grilles.

I figured it out on the last speaker. not hard to do. really wanting to paint them a different color other than grey, but waiting to see what tige is going to do with my graphics that are peeling off the side of the boat before I change them..

thanks for the advice and phone number
