Awesome job. I can’t imagine how loud and clear your system is now with JL’s. All I did was add a 12” Polk audio, a 600 watt Polk audio amp, and a 800 watt amp to push the six Polk audio factory speakers on my 2015 212ss.

What are all those vents by the center near the fuel tank?
@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162
Жыл бұрын
They are vents. It gets pretty humid here in Florida and mold happens quickly. So, I cut in some holes and used stainless steel shower drain covers to ensure Ventilation throughout the boat. Since this video I linked up with a cnc guy and had some custom yamaha symbols made of plastic to replace the stainless covers.

We just bought an AR240 at the end of April. We found a set of 10" JL subs that we really like. Now we just have to decide on an amp and where to mount the subs. I hope I can duplicate your success.....like you said, just a little nervous about the 10" gaping holes I am about to cut in our new boat...lol

I have never used roto zip but I believe they are pretty much the same.. the roto zip takes a thicker bit than the dremel.. the only reason I know that is because I purchased roto zip bits for my dremel and they didn't fit...

Thank you for the video. I was thinking about installing two 6.5" speakers on the lower step (2019 AR240) where you have the boat name decal. I'd access the back of them through the clean out port access panel...I hate the idea of cutting a hole in the exterior of the boat, especially just above the first step, closer to the waterline. Any thoughts?
@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162

Justin, I considered that as well but decided against it for three reasons: 1. Heat. The exhaust is in that area and it can get pretty warm. 2. That portion of the boat is submerged every time I launch and recover at the ramp. Now, although Marine speakers can get wet submerging them is a different story, 3. Feet. Yes feet, people getting in and out of the boat could possibly kick the speaker by accident. It can be done and I have seen boats like ours with them in that location. So my recommendation is; everyone is different on what they do while boating so take a step back and think of all the things that happen on the platform while you are out there--- like, kids, tubes, skis, drinking, coolers, chairs and all sorts of things that could puncture, or even block the sound of the speakers in that area and go from there.Hope that helps.. Rob

@@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162 Thank you, Rob. I'm eager to get some speakers back there, I'm going to take another look when I get home. I haven't been to a launch that has forced the stern too deep into the water yet, but I can absolutely see that as a possibility I had not taken into consideration.

@@robsyamahajetboatdiymainte4162 I went ahead and installed them on the lower swim step. For what it's worth, it looks great and was very easy. I have two zone audio, so the 1st zone is in the boat and the 2nd is on the swim platform. Good for when my wife wants to chill quietly on the boat while we're swimming at a sandbar. Thanks again for the input.

Rob's Yamaha Jetboat DIY Maintenance yeah was thinking an LED light bar would be cool for wake surfing on the lake at night. I have a 2017 212x. You hunk it would be possible to have the light bar be able to be turned on from the connext system? Or probably have to stick with a switch and relay harness.
