oh yea, and John ... now that I look at that series of photos, I am reminded of your
lighting under the swim platform -- how did that turn out once you were in the water?
2008 24 SSV, Gravity Games Edition.
Not worth a crap Bub.... I plan to redo it soon. The problem was the hyped-up swim platform bracket connections. Not such a good connection. The lights just barely glow in our dirty water. Still pretty cool when they'd work.
As for the amp install, that's basically what I did. The Masonite is covered in black carpet, amps are screwed to it. I only did that to make the surface flat. The top left of the piece doesn't have anything screwed to it because that's where it curves, and that masonite isn't strong enough to support the weight of anything. The 2 Syn1's are on the panel, the Syn6 is mounted flat to the hump, and the Syn4 is on the right side. It's just a simple install that puts the amps out of the way so they don't get hit with anything. All the wires have loops and are screwed down so everything in there is very tight.
I had thought about changing it up a little, mounting the amps on the gunwhales and doing something a little more custom with LED's, but it wont be this year. I've already got too many other installs lined up and my boat heads to the dealer for lots of work here in a few weeks. I did sell my Pro485 and will either add another pair of Pro80's or a pair of MB-8's. I'm leaning towards the MB-8's....
Taylor if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

"Never underestimate a man that Overestimates himself."
I had my speakers and amps all installed by Audio Integrations. (www.audiointegrations.net) They did an awesome job. They ended up building a new carpet backed board under the driver cockpit area behind where your feet set and mounted the three amps there so they are out of sight out of mind. They also put a sub behind that and one on the other side in the storage locker under the glovebox. It works great! I also had them install a second battery with a shutoff switch/toggle to run the speakers so that if I am on an island rocking the music and the battery dies, I can still start the boat on the main battery... it is a pretty clutch setup.
Sounds great and welcome to the boards, you know the price of entry - PICS!
