Round 3 On Stereo Upgrade

[Bobby Light]

Dropped by Exile today to snap some Pic's,....We are Making Progress, Batteries are installed just need to hook up everything, Bobby Bright hooked me up with this cool Battery fill kit to keep them toped off with water as needed, and yes we are still waiting for Samson to finnish the G3 Mounting Brackets, But I hear they are close!!! Here are a few pic's, Keep in mind they are still wiring everything, 6 XM9's

He did huh?

[Wakesetter67]

[Bobby Light]

One of the mods got the names wrong and it's been crazy ever since.

Offered to fix that. He wasn't interested. You could be 06vlx again.

[Bobby Light]

I'm both, got a sig too.

[Murphy8166]

Do you have a starting battery as well or just running the 6v's

Yes its in front of the 6V's... BOBBY Light got Me that real sturdy 6V Box, And the watering System, Not hooked up yet. Edited February 18, 2012 by Wakesetter67

Just to clear it up, the 6v will do everything including starting the boat. There is a emergency reserve battery that will only be tapped in the highly improbably and unlikely event the 6v batteries die. This setup works perfectly and has never been an issue for me, won't be for him either.

I like the setup you guys are running and exactly how you have it. That box is real nice too, they aren't cheap but nothing with quality is.

good job

It works good. It's the simplist, most fool proof, and solid battery/charging system I've ever used. Nothing else has ever compared, including the $600 Lifeline 8d AGM batteries I've tried in the past.

Hi,

Any chance you can post or send me a picture of the battery setup. I have been thinking about doing the very same thing.

Thanks

Dave

[BSUBU_Kris]

For some reason I can't see the pictures of the setup???

[Wakesetter67]

Sorry I was Messing with photo bucket and re organizing some photos in different albums and it screwed everything up... So here they are again

[Wakesetter67]

I will post more recent ones here shortly with everything wired and cleaned up a bit, this was during install, Speaker will be mounted real soon.. I have a 12v Back Up battery in front of the 6V Batts for starting if I run the 6v down too low. It is on a separate switch and only used just in case..

I'm curious about your power distribution block. It looks to have both ground as well as fused power as well as a possible voltage display. Can you elaborate on the make and model. I would like to get something similar.

[Kikitlo]

Think I found it. Looks like a Tsunami TPFDB-4PG

For those wanting to actually wire it right the 1st time, I would suggest adding in the proper circuit protection on the POS trunk line that needs to be within 18" of the battery. $.02

It got done right I'm sure vince. There is more than one person on this earth that knows how to wire a system.

Ya I'm in good hands...I hear they might be getting close, Brian said they were working on the Tower today!!

[Murphy8166]

Vince and Bobby Light - Did you run the power cable from the amp rack through the switch or did you run it directly to that 6v bank.

[Bobby Light]

I didn't wire it but when I talked to the installer when I was down there a while back he said it would be wired to the common on the switch.
