Build on a boat (for work)

Ok so at work for the past three days I've been slaving over this boat. We had to do a ton of crap to it.... a new radio, two amps, two subs, six speakers and wire in about 50 led's.

This is the hu and the subs, its a cda-9886 and two pdx amps. The hu is in the mid cabin with the iPod cable coming out from the back of the seats. The amps are under the bench seat in the compartment the back or "stern" (if you'd like to be nautical).




Now its the speakers six marine alpine type-s. Two up front or "bow," two right behind the seats and two more in the front of the bench seat. all of the speakers have three led's that we had to wire up and run all the wires for.



The subs are up next two jl marine ib's. Mounted underneath the dash (if thats called a dash lol) These also were wired up with 4 led's. holes had to be cut and wires ran.




Finally we had to wire in about 15 or so led's all the way around the engine compartment so when he want so show off he can just raise the hatch and it lights on up. Then also a picture of the speakers with the led's on. We also put some in the cup holders and the side panel pockets. Sorry for the crapy night pictures.





Good ol' fashion fun!! This beast ended up turrning out really clean he was extremely happy. It also got loud as hell and those subs pounded for two tens.

This is whats been keeping me from my car. Oh well she'll get done... eventually.

The pdx marine is rated to be marine grade. I dont remember what the rating is but they have to stand up to a certan amount of water for a time to be "marine"

Yeah I did a small system in our boat but no subs or anything. I think mine was different though since most of the build was done in the forward cabin. Plus mine was in the water while I was working on it which made it a bit more interesting
That looks like a little speed boat of some sorts, def not a Sea Ray, looks like its sporting the Bayliner colors.
What kind, size boat is that

Nice Boat!!!

We had a 38' Baja around the same year, I think it might have been an 02 or an 03, it was awsome but it was no Donzi.
Only boat nicer than that IMO is the Fountain boats, but they cost alot of money.

We sold our boat about a year and a half ago, my parents just couldn't enjoy it anymore, IMO it was too big for them to keep up. So they sold it and bought a vaction spot in Palm Springs in which they are at right now

I put a hole system into a 36' fountain lightning boat was so nice. I've done some nice rides, like a 1m dollar touring bus put a sub in the slide and all new audio.
