Stereo Install, Almost Complete.....pics

[cherryCobalt272]

Well I was just not qualified to take on the project so I had my stereo installed by Ultimate Electronics. They did my last boat and really stood by all of their work, so here we went again. I put in 3 sets of Polk Momo 6500's, 1 set of Fusion T-Series Wakeboard speakers that were pre-loaded with Diamond component speakers. I have 1 Alpine 4 channel, 1 Alpine mono for 2 12" Infinity Subs in a custom box they fabricated. I have a Diamond D6 Amp 4 channel for the other speakers. They also installed my marine radio and plumbed all of the antenna wire through the arch. Also had Sirius installed in the boat and truck and a back up camera for the truck. The only thing I paid for was the Sirius and a few parts for the box. They ended up doing some damage on my NEW BOAT! Check out the pics, they turned it in to their corporate insurance and I am having out with the adjuster now. We'll see how that goes but I am being pretty aggressive with him...:twisted: The install guy took most of these pics so bear with me on the quality and so-on.... first few are of the factory Sony equipment...

box is 90% finished, a little more tuning and they are putting in yellow neon lighting this week.....had it on the water this weekend and it is intense. I really was abused by family/friends on the holes though...:oops: I'll get mine one way or another though, In addition to working out a loss of use/depreciation settlement with the insurance, they said i can have anything in the store....@ cost...:mrgreen: I am trying to have the best attitude I can about this situation, so I'm just pluggin' along and we'll see what happens with the insurance claim....

The wifey wanted the open bow for the kids, at least for 2 more years anyway....:roll: I wanted a 353 Fastech for years now....Just settled on the claim for the holes today......I was fairly aggresive with their insurance co and ended up 300% over estimate which was acceptable. That in tandem with getting all of my other stuff done for cost and alot of it for free makes it a not TOO BAD of a deal. Don't get me wrong, I would've rather not had the holes but, oh-well, you got to roll with the punches..

The sub box is in the head. It sounds EXCELLENT...clean deep bass, no vibrations at all. As I type, he is installing the neon yellow lights in the boat...

I am running 3 batteries with no caps, I played it for about 3-4 hours on Sunday and Saturday with no problems......they installed a 3 bank charger also, so when I get home, I just plug it in.....

Awesome setup![smilie=trink39] I'm not exactly ready anyway:mrgreen: I need one of two things first 1) something bigger than my Tahoe to tow with or 2) a slip.

Wow! Can't wait to hear and see your setup next month! Looks awesome![smilie=appl] :mrgreen:
