Exiled...

[ian ashton]

Finished distribution blocks;


Mounted and wired the XM9s;





I've got a lot of tweaking and tinkering to do, but all of the infrastructure is there and everything is working properly. Chase didn't want the amps to be on display, so I tucked them away, easy to access but out of sight and out of the way.

I think it looks pretty good, all like its supposed to be there. I might order some TechFlex to cover the wires, but that's an easy add later.

Another stroke of genius on my part; the factory Accessory switch in this boat is unused, so I am using that to turn the Harpoon on/off, which keeps with the factory appearing requirement.

Also, so far this thing ROCKS! The new 6.5s are a huge improvement from the previous model (going to have to make that upgrade for sure in my new boat). A few people from the marina came over to ask what kind of sub we had, because it "sounds good!" my response "The sub is actually sitting in the back of my jeep, we haven't unpacked it yet, that's just a few hundred watts through the cabin speakers!"

nice install, clean and simple.

How are the tower speakers for head clearance or are they off to the side enough to not matter?

Moomba on the left, Supra on the right---nice neighbors

There isn't really a good spot to mount them in this tower; Chase is like 6'2" and they seem to be OK, but of you drive like a Wally (standing) you definitely don't want them there. They can go higher if you move them toward the center, but I didn't like the way it looked.

Love the coozies in the walk through!

Saw that but they are empty.lol

Ian great install ....

Did you run the distro blocks from the factory bar or did you remove it?

do the towers overpower the music for the peeps inside the boat

[jmvotto]

Yes if you don't have a fader . With four nines on the harpoon they are so clear the inboats are down low when riding.

The EXILE logo on the front comes off, and theres a switch in there. + - 3 db if i recall. If you hit it to the lower setting it will allow the speaker to essentually start its throw later so you dont kill the people in the back seat.

It also makes the speaker sound a little warmer to me, this was designed in for the towers that sit farther up in the boat.

Mike, would that be to the "-" setting and i could not tell when i played with them to standind in the rear of the boat.
I left them at the factory preset. maybe i nee to tone them down.
