Shawndoggy '14 LSV Stereo Build

[shawndoggy]

Ok so there is very little progress so far but I thought I'd start a thread to have a place to park my pics. This may be as much progress as I make until March. The boat is in an unheated garage and doing stereo work in the cold isn't much fun.

Amp rack is pulled and studs for mounting amps are in. Also mounted the Sirius tuner.

That's pretty cool you don't have to build a new board.

What are the two items above the sirrus unit?

No kidding! Tight fit but everything is going to fit I think.

[shawndoggy]

What are the two items above the sirrus unit?

Big one is black box (head unit). The one in between is the mobile device gateway.

Sweet, watching this build for sure.

Shawn is that 1/2" plywood wrapped in marine carpet? Or does Malibu use starboard plastic material? I'm going to start building my amp rack as well. Hoping my components ship out today.* Also, what length screws is Malibu using to mount the rack to the blocks on side of hull?

[shawndoggy]

it's starboard.

The screws are 2". I am going to redo the screws with hanger bolts instead.

Also watching this build..

Shawn, the Arc amps are boring to look at, I've never worked with LEDs but my idea is to pop off the logo, get it punched out and put an LED strip underneath. Any reason I shouldn't do this?

[shawndoggy]

The reason is that nobody looks at the amps once installed. I did LEDs on my last amp rack and NEVER geeked out on them afterwards. Wasn't worth the effort. Only for bragging rights in your TMC stereo build thread.

Maybe your wife can knit you a sweater like boots?

[Lance B. Johnson]

Ill bet he already has a matching one...

[shawndoggy]

Generator. The thing about TMC we can always find a solution to life's problems, the problem is it always involves us spending others money!

Pic or it didn't happen....

Are you doing a ZLD or WS-420 as well?

[shawndoggy]

Are you doing a ZLD or WS-420 as well?

yes. Haven't decided which one yet. Was very happy with the gen1 zld, but I'm bummed about the loss of the fader.

I was too. But even after 5 minutes of playing around in my garage I concluded it won't be that big of a deal.

This was my first thought as well. However I am number three on the list. At least now when I check my content I will be able to find this thread
