1996 Speedster- Stereo Installs-Post up pics and info on what you've done

[gravitydrno]

I have a speedster and now that it's almost ready to go in the water I want to add some tunes, would love to see what you have done- how much power, battery set up etc.

I have a simple Duo head with two coaxs but since my daily driver is extremely upgraded I would like to do something more.

You will want a second battery with a isolator between your "house" battery and starting battery such as the Blue Sea add-a-battery if you are going to go big :bigear: The charging system is about like 2 motorcycles, not very much, and a stereo with mutiple amps and subs will drain it quick. Im going to use polk audio db650 sprakers and the polk subs. I have had great success with the polk db series in my car, my dads boat and 2 of my friends cars. What are you thinking for the end goal?

Not sure. I know that it will not touch my vehicle as it was built to be a SQ competition vehicle but I want it to sound good. I am running two batteries (one for each engine) they are small 24ah batteries so I know they will not hold up if much amplification is added. The mfg of the gear in my car does not make marine so I will be looking at all that do offer marine grade gear.

Check out the Sony MEX-M70BT. I have had a few sonys with eq7 (7 band equalizer built in) and have always been impressed with how tuneable it is and that marine one has eq10. I will no doubt put that one in my boat when i do the stereo. Some people hate polk audio but the db series is tough as hell and sounds good with a nicer sony deck and some good amps. My pops ski nautique has 2 sony es amps(not marine) a older sony head unit with eq7(not marine) 2 polk db6501, 2 db691 and a triangle shaped boozka(not marine) sub that slides up where the skis go perfectly facing the bow and thumps the closed bow like magic and resonates through the whole boat even over the growl of a 351w a 2900 rpms. Ill be going sony/polk/not sure on amps yet when I do mine soon.

I have the Sony MEX810 in my Yukon, their MEX line are nice head units. I intend on using a cover so not worried much whether it is marine or not. It was recommended to me to check JL's marine as well as Wetsounds for speakers, never heard them but we'll see. Was not impressed that the Polk sub would only play 30-500Hz, not much of a sub.

 

[snikwad003]

Yeah 30hz is not very low in the sub world

For starters I changed from the Dual head unit the wife had got me for Xmas to a Fusion MA RA70 head unit....full water proof and very good Bluetooth and can be controlled by an app on my iPod touch where all my music is stored. Installed the two 6" coaxes that came with the Dual unit so as to not show disrespect to the wife.....for now.
