[QUOTE="thill, post: 504762, member: 4972"] I know a lot of guys don't like stereos, but I do. Installed a Bluetooth head unit to run the front speakers and a dedicated Kicker 300.4 amp bridged to run the 8" Kenwoods in the back You can see them in the pic above showing the seat. Still need to wrap the speaker panel to make it blend in. Here is the stereo system: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Resized_20230924_215222.jpeg"]116933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Resized_20230924_215337.jpeg"]116934[/ATTACH] Very clean sound that can be heard even when running wide open, if desired. I decided to run the amp off the trolling motor battery. If we sit and play music all afternoon, I'd rather my TM get a little weak than get stranded somewhere. This boat is going to be an all-around boat, not just a fishing boat, so I want it to be well equipped. Fishing, cruising, wakeboarding, etc. Next, I'll be figuring out mounting the Garmin Echomap 93 and the Livescope. The dashboard is almost non-existent, so I'll have to get creative. The current Lowrance unit is literally just wedged between the dash and the windshield. Not ideal, but it works. This is bigger, unfortunately. I could always install it on the gunnel, outside the windshield, but I never feel comfortable with that. What if I hit a wake at speed, and the unit jumps off and is lost or broken? Probably just being paranoid, but that will be a last resort, only if needed. [/QUOTE]
