[Havasu Dreamin]

Looks good Erich :thumb:

[PUMP 'HER']

L:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:king good.

[kimswang]

Looks good, you'll love that charging relay. I mounted them last year, best thing I did. What about your CB's, did you mount one for the stereo and one for the rest?

[NdaWind]

Looks Good Erich time for a lake test.

[SteveC]

Looks very good. Installation is very clean.

[just another payment]

Look great, and how does it sound?

[kevnmcd]

Great job!

[FUN4ME]

What about your CB's, did you mount one for the stereo and one for the rest?

CB’s circuit breakers? No I installed a 80 amp fuse for the stereo and left the rest of the boat the way it was.

Looks Good Erich time for a lake test.
Lake test was Feb 16 & 17 at Lake Havasu it sounds great @ 55 we took some friends with their babby so I kept the speed down
Look great, and how does it sound?
Wiffie likes it so I like it, you can have a listen later this month

[hkunz]

Very nice. Did you build the boxes yourself? What kind of materials did you use, and where did you get them?:drinkers:

Thanks
Yes we built the boxes ourselves (my brother-in-law and I) out of MDF that we got at Home Depot or Lowes. The box covering I got from Crutchfield.

[hkunz]

Just because I work in the building department doesn't mean I know building.... What's MDF? I've heard the term before, but don't know what part of HD or Lowe's to look in.

Medium Density Fiber plywood. Looks like pressed sawdust instead of your typical "layered" ply plywood. Just go to the lumber section and ask for MDF Plywood. :)
