Got started on a little spring cleaning and a fresh install

[RyanATX]

I'll use this thread to cover some aspects of my build, but not all, for security reasons :-)

4 Pro485's mounted using stock clamps...Bring the noise!!

Yes she's FILTHY. This is the first time the boat has touched the water since october, LOTS and LOTS of cleaning and installs to do before the memorial day show down at the party cove!!

Oh my gosh that is going to be retarded loud. If you don't win I will be shocked.

Get yourself a gallon of Malco and 303 and get that Nauti cleaned up before anybody else sees it.

I knew i'd catch flack for posting dirty pictures... but you know what, it's FEBRUARY!!!!!!!! memorial day is 2 months away... I'm getting an early start! :-)

Like i said, this will be a progressive thread that covers cleaning/stereo installs... This is phase 1 !

A word from the wise. The PN crew is a helpful, but "tough" crowd.

I once got beat up for posting pics with bugs on my truck's mirror.

What shot out at me the most was the bugs splattered on your side view mirrors on your DTV. What's up with that??!?!? :shock: Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

You gotta love these guys. They set the bar high. More is expected from those who own Nautiques.

I will search PN, but someone recommend some good products for vinyl restoration/ mildew removal... Also need a good product for the carpet unfortunately had a cover malfunction in the middle of a big rain storm.

Clean it up, then tell me where you're hiding all the stuff. I've got the same boat (05 SANTE) and have 3 amps; I'd like to run more, but between amps, subs, and equipment I'm running out of places to put it. Any insight would be appreciated, good luck, can't wait to see where the thread goes.

The boat is getting cleaned up this weekend. Working on my interior lighting this weekend also... Still waiting on my new sub to get here...test fitting my enclosure this weekend.

I definitely understand how difficult it is to pack a big system into a 210.. It takes a lot of creative thinking, a great enclosure builder, and willingness to sacrifice!

I will have 5 amps tucked under passenger seat, along with a 3.5cf sub box... as well as another 3cf sub box behind the driver seat..

The cool thing is that the system will be relatively secure after it's completely installed. I've learned that the more difficult it is to install a system, it's nearly twice as difficult to uninstall (steal).. and even more so if you dont know the order to the puzzle. :-)

I'm still on the fence about lighting up my wetsounds. It just seems like such an unnecessary expense .. $800+ dollars for light rings on my speakers? I dont think it's worth it.

Hard to steal my stereo equipment

Now my title will undoubtedly jinx me this next year! haha.. I did have my boat get broken into out at the Marina last summer. Fortunately for me they didn't take anything!! That's because I did exactly the same thing.. I "shoe horned" everything into my boat, that the only way to get it all out was to take it out piece by piece in sequence.. They only got as far as unscrewing the top amp off the amp rack and cutting the wires.. This year I will use special screws to make that harder.. I don't think that they could figure out how to get everything else out.. it definitely slowed them down way too much that they moved on to the next boat.. They even left the amp on the floor ( prolly got spooked by the security guard or something) Either way.. It definitely pays to be creative and don't make everything easily accessible..

RyanATX Don't forget to vent the area under passenger seat.. It makes a world of difference.

That is sick!

My wife walked by while I was looking at that setup, her response......"no.".... I might have to get a pair of wet sounds to compliment my Polks.

Show me how you vented it.. I was planning on just propping the seat up by about an inch with a flip flip or a beer errrr soda can.

The cleaning went super well. I used 303 Mildew killer, their carpet/upholstery cleaner, and then 303 protectant. It all looks brand new! Now on to the installs....

[nautiques4life]

Zander you remember where you bought your vent?

[seth]

I just made a vent on my 01 SAN for my sub. I pulled the cover off in the walkway and cut a whole the same size as the cover opening with a jig saw. I bought some 99% screen from Home Depot and stapled it on the opening. It turned out better than I thought it would.
