I like the equipment but think I can do a better job rewiring my current setup for better sound.
Current Equipment:
Head Unit: Sony CDX-H910UI
Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch P400-4
Sub: Rockford Fosgate 10" sub x1
Speakers: Rockford Fosgate 6.5 speakers x6
Two speakers are located in the bow. Two speakers are located midship. Two speakers are mounted aft. The sub is mounted in front of the cooler compartment.
The current wiring scheme seems a little odd to me. The bow speakers are wired to the hu front speaker wires. The midship and aft speakers are wired hu rca front to the amp rca front and rear (possible wired in series). Finally the sub is wired to hu sub speaker wires. While the wire scheme sounds okay, there is nothing wired to the hu rear ouputs and the sub does not hit very hard.
I would like to change this by doing the following.
1. Add a mono amp for the sub in same location of sub (hu rca to amp rca)
2. Wire the bow and midship speakers in parallel (via hu rca front to amp rca front)
3. Wire the aft speakers to hu rear (via hu rca rear to amp rca rear)
I've been through the boat and understand how the current wiring is run (gunwale / ski locker). So after all this hopefully useful information my questions. Is there a good method of removing current wire and adding new wire? Are there some useful tools? Do seat backs need to be removed?
Thanks for your time.
