    Installing Skylon Deafcon V

    I am installing the Deafcon V's on my 2005 SAN and I have a question. Because the Deafcon V's are too wide to fit on the forward tower bar they need to be mounted on the rear tower bar. I wanted to run the wiring into the rear bar but it seems that the flat cross members are not open on the ends under the welds. Does anyone know if this is true?

    If so then I have 2 options. 1) run the wiring to the front bar and just have the wires run to the speakers from there or 2) drill additional hole into the cross member at the other side of the weld and run it out of the front bar into the cross bar, out of the cross bar and into the rear bar.


    By the way - to answer someones earlier question - yes you can hear the speakers quite well behind the boat. My system is the following

    Polk Momo boat speakers running off the stock Clarion Amp 480M off channels 1 and 2, lefts are bridged and rights are bridged running at 2 ohm. Bow speakers running off head unit. Sub running off Polk C300.2 and another C300.2 running Deafcon V's on tower off rear channel output from head unit.

    Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

    Funny,

    I posted this over two weeks ago on this board. Custom brackets, thats all we could do. But anyway back to your question, we run them on the bar closest to the back of the boat. We had the wiring harness go up the front leg and come out the top. We had the skylon wiring harness so this left lots of extra wire to reach the back mounting location, i will try to get some pics up. Its been so ugly lately only got 1 ride in the past two weeks.

    I got a cabin and the boat sits is just sitting there, so sad

      Figured it out

      Steven - thanks for the reply. I did consider running the wires to the front bar but I wanted to have as little extra wire hanging out as possible so I came out of the front bar and back in to the flt cross member. I think it will look nice when done. I will post some pics when finished. This boat looks awesome IMO, especially behind my tow prosche (JK)
