Hi all
I have finally got myself my first Nautique, and am after some help with the stereo upgrade. I will give what details I hace as I havent taken delivery of the boat yet, and what I want to do and really want advice on if I am doing the right thing or possible ways to do it better.
It is a 2004 SAN 210 TE, currently has the factory stereo, 6 in boat sperkers, the kicker sub and what ever amp it comes with(I dont know the amp details). It has the two battery set up.
I have bought this stuff to put in it.
A pair of Rockford Fosgate M282B-WAKE M2 Wakeboard 8-Inch Tower Speakers
2 Rockford Fosgate M400-4D marine amps
A Rockford Fosgate 12" free air marine sub
I am planning on mounting the amps behind the L/H observers seat like most people do. Power and earth return each amp direct from one battery with 4 gauge wire. Inline 100amp fuses installed as close to the battery as possible. 16 gauge wire up to the tower speakers with some sort of quick disconnect to allow the tower to be folded.
I really want to know the best way to power all the sperkers and sub from the amps. Also should I keep the current amp and/or sub as well. And the best way/place to mount the free air sub. Ideally I want to keep behind the observers seat as clear as possible for gear storage.
Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
