24SSV Stereo Upgrade

[jonyb]

I'm finally making some progress on this install. I've only got 1 flush panel to make and it'll be done and ready for the water. I powered it up the other night night and tuned it in for the first time. The 4 Wet Sounds XS-650's are new, the 4 JL 10W0's are new, and the Kenwood sub amp is new. The boat originally had 10 Kenwood 6.5's, 2 4-channel kenwood Excelon amps, and 1 10" Excelon woofer. I also added 2 Stinger SP1500D sealed batteries and ditched the Deka Marine batteries from the factory.

Here's what I ended up with:

*1 4-channel, bridged to 2-channel mono powering the tower speakers
*1 4-channel: 2 channels are powering the 4 6.5's in the cockpit at 2 ohm stereo, and the other 2 channels are powering the 2 6.5's in the bow.
*1 Mono Kenwood Excelon amp powering 4 JL10W0-8's at 2 ohm mono.

Also added a Wet Sounds WS-420 eq/pre-amp
All of this is on the stock Kenwood Marine headunit. I only kept this because the helm station inserts are built around 1 remote, and another remote is on the transom.
