The sound of a screaming drag on my real is the best music on my boat 🎣 i dont have or want a stereo on my boat
Love that sound, but when the box is full and we're having that drink or even when we anchor off the beach that afternoon...it's time for some tunes. Best of both worlds.
just redid my system, made me realize i like good system. originally only swapped speakers cuz i didn't care, but they were wired up wrong, one left channel supplying both left speakers, one right supplying both rights. sounded like crap. rewired properly and added a little amp, sounds so much better than i expected it would.
A waterproof blue tooth speaker and my phone or tablet is perfect no holes no wires, all the music I need.
Low Maintenance as well
I bought a BOSE portable speaker from COSTCO for under $100, and use it with my iphone, I can finally hear the music over my damn outboard.
Love having stereos on boats for sandbars, channels or trolling but screaming drag is the best music, also if you have questions ask ski or wakeboat people they have enough decibels to wake up megladon
My boat came with a fusion radio and JL audio speakers, subwoofer abs amplifier and it is by far the best stereo system I heard on a boat by far abs everyone loves it
Great video guys. There is lots to think about when it comes to your boat's audio system and you pared it down to the essentials, making it all easy to understand. My biggest take away - Make sure you spec out your speaker's RMS rating so you do not blow out your speakers and you get the volume you want!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED!!! we just bought a 48’ Cabo (west coast sport fisher) and the audio doesn’t work almost anywhere. We needed this so badly!
Go with jl if you can afford it, you won’t regret it
@@zacpearson1878 we are probably going with fusion. We have had both on our center console but fusion is just simpler and connects better via Bluetooth for us
@@Shhnee I haven’t heard of the company but best of wishes to y’all :)
@@zacpearson1878 he talks about fusion in the video. You should check it out if you ever redo your stereo. I like JL speakers better but the head unit is a little behind compared to fusion
plz make a video covering charging sound system batteries.
Cutting holes in my boat makes me die a little every time, so I'm conflicted.
Yeah putting in a transducer was scary, especially since it was a new boat
I'm glad I didn't put in my system last summer! It's on the hard now waiting for a bottom job. So I was going to put it in while it was out of the water. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME MONEY AND TIME!!! Another fantastic video!
I honestly don’t know what’s worse. Relaxing and having someone with a 2 seater roaster tailing through a packed and calm cove
throwing waves everywhere or 2 boats tied together starting the next rock concert. I have a loud system, Ra770, 2x Rev10s, 485, 4x6.5 and a 12 T2D2 with three amps pushing it all but it keep it between at a quarter to half volume unless we are out towing and surfing.
In my boat I have an Inboard 1956 Ford 272 V8 with two 3 inch straight through exhaust pipes... My favorite tunes on water
Yeah cause straight pipes aren’t annoying either. Music to my ears would be the sound on your midrange engine throwing a rod at your 40 mph WOT.
I know that!! It's quite ANNOYING when people blast off their stereo system when some of us want to have a quiet time in the sand bar.... That's why I usually go early in the morning before all those noisy people flock in!!! What they listen to is not even music, JUST PURE LOUD NOISE AND NOTHING ELSE!!!
Sounds like someone got a Dual brand stereo
@@00000005547 🤣🤣 that’s what I got them shits suck I want to buy kickers
Love your show. Every one is so straight forward and is full of great information. Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge.
I LOVE your videos and they have helped me out as a new boat owner so much!!!! I was wondering if you guys could do a video on the best ways to cover your boat when stored in a slip. I’m having an issue finding a proper way to cover my 20’ dual console with outboard motor. Thanks for the great videos!!!
Got 4 marine skars a jl sub and a car audio sub in a box and a Orion 6000w 5 channel and a small mono for the jl and that’s more than enough. Also the best sound for your money
I just had 1 JL audio M6 10 sub, 6 M6 JL audio 7.7 and for amps I have a JL 700/5 and a JL 280/4 on a 24 spectre
I drive in silence and boat in silence...I love silence. When I'm on my brother in law's boat it's like an Ac/Dc rock concert... I try to avoid fishing with him..lol
Does he catch any fish with radio on?
Love your channel but one work to the boat owners with these systems. When cruising in no wake zones like canals lined by houses or condos, remember not everyone within a 1/2 mile likes the same music as you do. Just try to respect others.
if the fasteners havent backed out, its not enough bass.
I was going to install a radio setup... found out that my JBL Charge 4 makes a great audio system.
No speakers required when you’ve got a classic 2 stroke thunderbolt mercury. That’s music to my ears more so than a speaker.
customer: Id like to have it for the 4th. . service tech: and so does everyone else. next time dont wait until june to get on the schedule
Yeah but think of the overtime.
I have 2 rotten west marine 6” speakers, and a head unit where the writing looks like alien writing. It is all going away after watching this, thank you!
Lol wish you the best of luck!
Great explanation of some tech stuff with audio. I am removing a 5 year old factory installed audio system that is going to the dump. It had a 760 watt 4 channel amp with 6 speakers and a subwoofer, but it was good enough 5 years ago at the boat dealer. Upgrading to a JL 8 channel amp and JL speakers.
One that has definition at a very low volume. Loud partiers in an anchorage is one of my triggers.
For me, i like the peace and quiet of being on the water, so i would never use radio. I don’t have one on mine.
Love the vids! Keep up the great work!
Lots of JL Audio 8.8s and amps and speaker placement.
Awesome Guys! I just installed some JL's in my boat.
I hear some boats coming long before I hear their engines!
How does this affect the fiberglass? Or any panel on the boat? Im talking about what are the long term effects that all that vibration has on the panels of a boat made up of more than one layer of a material??
When talking about subs, doesn’t affect the fiberglass other than cutting a big ass hole in a perfectly good boat for usually an underwhelming speaker. “IB subwoofers” are lazy, inefficient, terrible sounding options in a marine environment and any shop knowingly cutting 10-12” holes in a perfectly good boat should be responsible for the cost of fiberglass repairs. When it comes to marine subs, build a custom enclosure or don’t do it all.
Interests in dual 5 channel with separate 120v sub for HD, UHD,DTS ABD DOLBY true 5/7 channel surround sound. 5 B&W speakers
i m from germany your videos are very cool.
Awesome, thank you!
Just a simple radio two speakers, plenty for me. Don’t need a disco going. I do this for relaxing. Thanks for the information though. 👍😎🌴 stay safe out there.
Not true adding a more power will not blow speakers. More head means you don't have to push speakers hard
I have a Fusion system and many more components that I can't begin to understand. Thinking the system was off, I Equalized my batteries this weekend. Now when powering the system. The Fusion wired remote start but nothing else come on! I'm going to check at all fuses but if you can refer a tech in Los Angeles / OC area I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Went a little over the top with my stereo. 14 JL speakers and 4 10 inch JL subs w 2800 watts of power.
how much did that run you?
At least you paired enough bottom end up with everything above 80hz. The marine audio world is obnoxious otherwise. I love how virtually every shop out there will put in a dozen coax and/or horns and then a garbage 10 or 12” free air sub cut into a cabinet in a pseudo IB configuration. Don’t even bother with the sub at that point.
great video. answered so many questions. thank you
Tunes otw are a must have!!!
Got to have the tunes
Kan u use boat speakers on a PA amp that has 4,8,12 & 16 wiring
Stereo in boat same as RGB in Gaming PC. You gaining more MPH instead of FPS.
I have 4 JL M6 8.8,
2 M6 10s
1 JL 600/2 amp
1 JL 800/8 amp
Love them
what kind of boat do you have ? Also are you happy with the 10s or would you put one or two 12 if it was to be done again ?
2 JL M6 7.7s and a M6 10 sub is plenty for me. Usually use my stereo when alone just cruising around or at the sandbar with friends. When fishing don’t even touch it
what kind of boat do you have ? also did you add an extra battery ?
@@wyatthunter987 I have a 2019 170 Montauk and I have two batteries
Here’s my question. I went expensive with a 600 dollar fusion amp, the speakers i have are 150 watt. Went cheap on the receiver with only a 50 watt. Am i going to need to change recover to max output on sub and speakers
Great video. Thanks for putting this together.
You bet!
Love the tips brother, very educational
My boat is a 2021 Yamaha 212SE and has 6/6.5 WS speakers with a WS HXT-4 amp. Everything is controlled through the Connext Enovation head unit, and a remote unit on the swim deck. Only 2 controllable zones, when there should be 3. Also, there is no equalizer. A lot of us boat owners are swapping out components. It sounds good, but I would like to add a sub. I'm not into adding tower speakers. Maybe a soundbar. Any advice appreciated!
The factory amp on it is junk and you’re probably going to need to replace it. The factory WetSounds are the same as the recon series and can’t handle the power of the revo series. You’ll want a LOC ($25 passive LOC or $65 for active) since the enovation doesn’t have RCA outs. If you’re just wanting to do a sub then keep what you have and add an amp and sub.
What's the best way to figure out what is the best way to tune a jl amp
Rockford 2-8” 4-6” and a 10” sub run by a Rockford M5-1500W-5 Channel.
6.5” sorry
1 Thing don't screw your speakers with a fuc.ing cordless screwdriver use a normal Phillips screwdriver and you don't ruin your plastic I know many people can do well with a cordless screwdriver But one impact is enough to destroy your beautiful JL boxes no hate its a great video but I lose control on this haha
No worries :)
I’m running 6x JL 8.8’s, 10x7.7s and 3x10” subs. Running off of 1x800/8, 2x700/5 and 1x600/6. With a Fusion 755 head unit.
what's a ruff estimate of the cost of that set up
@@jonathanmiranda1192 Retail on the equipment including connectors and wiring was $12k not including installation
Sorry to post this here but the e-mail on your site is not working right now.
I am building my own boat. If It matters I am making a 19 foot fishing boat with a 115 HP outboard engine.
I have purchased a MOELLER 17 Gallon Permanent Below Deck Fuel Tank, 36.5"L x 18.25"W x 7.25"H Model # 8978462 fuel tank. It has connections for fill, vent and supply. My question is regarding the vent for the tank. I watched your video: "Does Your Boat Need A New Fuel Tank? Let's Install One! Aug 2019". In the video the vent was placed on the boat below the filler port. I am not sure how this works, but wouldn't that allow the fuel to pour out of the vent if the fuel was taken on until the gas pump "clicked off" when the tank was full? I am not doubting what your video said, but I just don't understand how the vent works I guess. I am concerned that there may be regulations which I am unaware of also.
I am not sure where to place either the filler or the vent on my boat. I just don't want to mess this up by drilling holes where they don't belong. Can you point me toward more into on this subject?
Thanks for your help,
Dave
I have 4 7.7 2 8.8 and 2 6×9 wondering where the best placement for those are?
Lol where ever you can fit them :)
With 6.5 do you need a box on the back of it to sound good or can you go somewhat free air with them just mounting them in a panel
Came here to ask the same thing
How would you upgrade the alternator to keep up with the power demands of amps.
I've been looking at used boats and I really hate seeing a bunch of speaker holes all in the inner liner. When I see that I just keep on scrolling. I myself would rather have the speakers up above in the T-top or speaker pods above. Now days hard T-tops are coming out with pockets for speakers in them, which is cool. Like the new Cobia hard tops, they're pretty cool. So' if you're one of these Cubans with more money than brains with your inner liner destroyed by speaker holes, im not buying your boat, good luck.
We had amazing radio sistem in our boat an then radio nied and my parrents don't let me to fix it
Triple HPDI's @ 5k is all I want to listen to!
Rip to your wallet at the fuel dock lol I bet they sound awesome but rip
A quality bluetooth speaker 🔊 and a playlist on my cell phone is all I need 👍
That’s what I do but I have a bass boat it doesn’t work when you have multiple engines and big boats running
What Amp would be best to power two SK65m and two Sk8m
You need an amp. Otherwise you’ll never hear it above trolling speeds.
A screaming reel 😎👍👍👍
Frickin funny intro
I regret buying the PYLE system for my boat...
I have 6 JL audio speakers on my center console. I’ve noticed the speaker wires are just like home speaker wires. Noticed the robust wires at the end of this video. Do the wires increase performance of the system?
No, just use the correct gauge of wire necessary. So called named brand wire from Monster doesn't make any difference. Don't fall for the bs of one brand of copper wire is better
Do you run your amps from the starter battery or from a deep cycle bank? Trying to figure out how you run subs on a boat with the small amount of amps the motor actually makes..
"a sub wuuufer"
1:30 Brilliant idea. Leave the helm of a boat running offshore at speed.
Would you recommend 2 subwoofers 1 speaker or 1 subwoofer 2 speakers
Yes
How big a sound system before it starts overloading the batterys and outboard charging system?
Loud, obnoxious stereo systems at the sand bar is exactly what is wrong with boating nowadays. Nobody has any consideration for anybody but them selves these days.
It’s annoying when you are with ur family but can also be the life of the party if you are in the group, kinda like truck meets
I have 2 700w tower boss speakers and a pair of regular Rockville interior speakers....2400w amp on it and not on high gain. System gets very easily crackily sounding if turned up decently loud. Regular old boss head unit. What’s my first step in solving this? For sure a bit of a boat amateur but much more an audio beginner....help!
I finally found a new to me center console that came with a fusion head unit and two fusion speakers in the gunnels. They sound good, but the blue tooth doesn’t work, so I’m thinking of switching to Simrad’s sonic hub and eliminating the head unit. Or is that a bad idea? Should I get another fusion or JL head unit?
JL MM50 or 100, or Fusion Apollo 670. Not cheap but by far best option. Coming from a broker who’s seen it all. Sonic hub works but is tough to work sometimes
So can I run a single amp to power 4 JL M3 7.7 and a JL m3 10inch sub? Which amp would you recommend?
JL makes a 700/5 which is perfect for that. Fusion makes a 5 channel signature 1600w that puts more power then that
can anybody help me with chosing the right stereo and speakers set as i have 21' boat, if i would like to put 2 speakers. do i need amplifier also and what is for ??
thanks alot guys
Is is possible to connect directly just with and ethernet cable a fusion stereo to a garmin chartplotter? or do you need a router? Specifically I have a garmin 722xs plus, and would like to connect a fusion RA 670 and would like to avoid installing and NME200 backbone.
Pump it up.
Commenting for algorithm 💪
well thank you!
I do NOT allow any music on my boat. Silence is king.
What happened to the velocity delaminates video
It wasn't a Velocity desafiantes video, we had to rework it because people were getting that idea. The boat hit a metal pole and didn't repair it properly, which filled the hull with water and then the weight and the trailer bunks made the repair delaminate. :) not the boat itself
How do you adjust the ohms? Like if you are adding speakers, and need to tune the resistance. I had a deck boat come in, to add a tower. No biggie. But then wanted to add tower speakers too. 😱 Six speakers and no sub. He had a Xdm-4 Clarion head unit. How do you wire those two new speakers in, without having 2 channels that switch off/zone swap?? I left the wires hanging and labeled, under the helm, near the head unit. And told him to consult a stereo professional.
Any thoughts?
Only way to change impedance or ohms is to add speakers in parallel. For example, if you put 2 x 4ohm speakers in parallel on a single channel, it will cut the ohm load in half to 2 ohms. If you’re adding more speakers wiring them in parallel will reduce the ohms and increase the power output. You have to see how low an ohm load you amp can handle. Most will do 2 ohms ok. Others will go to 1.
@@yjad27 😯 Ohhhh.
Thanks. 😁
Wiring 2 identical speakers in series will double their ohm rating.
Turning the stereo off is best way to enjoy boating the most. In fact rip out the stereo and speakers is the first step for boating and sailing.
I just hate the idea of drilling an 6 to 8 inch hole in my center console for some speakers. I have an iPhone for music.
NO SPEAKERS…
💯
if you have an amp of more wattages than the speaker ain't gonna break the speakers. How can you make an "audio" video without getting this right?
You just have to be more careful with the volume knob. The proble is when you underpower your speakers and you need to push it to the max creating distorsion and eventually damaging your speakers.
Useless.
One of the most annoying sounds. Jet Skis and radios with a boat hooked to a hem.
I upgraded from the stock Jensen system in my Yamaha to all Kicker. Yamaha should be ashamed to offer such low quality sound products.
👍👍👍
Second
First view!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A great sounding stereo on a boat? Its the sound it makes as someone pries it out of the dash and splashes in the water never to blast music on the lake again. Seriously. If you want to kick out the jams, stay home or sit in your hooptie in the boat launch parking lot. On our boat we fish. We do not listen to music or talk radio or any thing other than what is happening in the moment. My life does not need a constant music soundtrack to make me feel engaged. I love music, I really do. It just doesn't need to come along on the water. IMO, of course.
