If you dont need to have FADE, i'd suggest the Kicker KMA1502. If you need FADE, then go with the KMA3604.

The reality is, to a single 4 ohm speaker, the wattage is 15-18, not 50W. You cannot drive two 4 ohm speakers in parallel @ 2 ohm. So this leaves the only option of 8 ohm. This essentially halves the wattage, netting each speaker something like 4W each. There are some media units that can...

Dont know how to remove the panel, but my gut says those 4 speakers are powered by a single amp. If so, I suspect low voltage to the amp. So I would confirm the power source for the speakers and go from there.

Been in the industry for nearly 40 years. Never seen a "Best if used by" date on oil. I have a 93 Chevy S10 that I top off the oil a couple times a year with a bottle of Castrol I think my dad tucked behind the seat 15 years ago.

I didnt read all the post, so im going off this post only. Has voltage at the back of the unit been confirmed? Next, I would disconnect any remotes or MFD interfaces and attempt to reboot the 770. A failed remote can lock the main unit up. Last, IIRC, Fusion offers a 3 yr warranty when...

No 1) how did your determine there is 9500W of draw? Is this based on the amps' summed peak, summed RMS with each chnl at its minimum load or calculating the amps' RMS based on the load placed on each chnl? 2) the amps' watts output is ACV, while the draw is in DCV. So you cant strictly apply...

Leaving the external amps on one bank and the head unit on the original harness may still leave you with audio equipment on different banks. ALL the audio needs to draw from the same voltage source. It astounds me that a shop installed a 12 amp system and left the head unit on the OEM harness...

This is so wrong and needs to be addresses first! Audio in different batteries is a no no. A basic fuse box is also likely a no-go, if those batteries are in the engine bay as this would be a fire hazard. The best fix would a proper trunk/branch cable setup with a large gauge cable run to...

Lets start with the yellow. The Clarion CMD WILL NOT FUNCTION without the yellow wire supplied with 12V. This is the circuit that the unit actually draws its operating amperage from. Its typically connected direct to a battery source because the CMD did not yet have non-volatile onboard memory...

The red wire is a switched 12V turn-on, so you would not want to use it for the BT. The yellow MEM/CONSTANT is the proper circuit.

Q1) The BT receiver needs to share the same battery voltage reference/source as ALL the other audio equipment in order to prevent unwanted noise. So the new BT needs to draw its 12V B+ and B- from the same source as the main media unit and any external amps. Where to make this termination? I...

Thanks for the ideas. So far, the active anoids is the front runner. @ lazy daze, I should have been more clear, there are 2 cables on that threaded posts that are not OEM, but were added by me. A 14ga thats the charger B+ and the 1/0 that goas around to the 2nd house battery. The one fused is...

I flagged the wire with yellow tape, thinking it would help an actual Searay trained tech, trace down the suspect wire, since thay had a 50/50 shot and following the right one.

Thanks for all the suggestions for the "pro" tools and "pro" tips that the "Pros" as the searay dealer could have and should have, already tried. Aftermarket? Nope this wire was already there and goes right into the factory wire harness bundle. Stereo memory? This was the dealer's best...

2012 SLX250 Red 12ga wire connected directly to battery B+. See pic. Its the wire with the yellow tag. Has no inline fuse. One of the other small red wires is OEM and the 3rd is the aftermarket charger. Wire has a parasitic draw thats making the charger stay out of sleep mode and leading to...

hey, not looking to pick a fight and im not dis'in the avenue you chose. But having a face to face, and in a lot of cases, hands-on live demo, you can get a few ideas of what will fit your goals, thats all im saying the group. Are we biased? Sure as chit we are, we have a reputation in the...

Speak with the right retailer/installer prior to purchase, and theres no need to ever worry about a return.

You can, even if the amp is using a single pair of RCA to send signal to all 4 (3 with a bridged woofer).

With Fusion, this is mostly correct. They offer 2, 3 or 4 zones of volume. Off the top of my head, I cant think of a unit that offers 2 different source zones. however, Some do. Kicker and Clarion do/have offered units that could play a 2nd source for a different part of the boat.

No offence, but maybe lead with your opinion of why you dont like speakers in parallel v's indicated to the OP that its going to create an issue for the amp. The amp he's chosen is perfectly happy with a woofer wired to its dedicated mono woofer chnl and 2 pair of speaker wired only to two...
