Ok, I FINALLY got the boat 99.9% completed. The only thing left to do is purchase and install two rca splitters to that I can send signal from the ws420 to the syn2's to power the rev410s. I'm really happy with how things went together. I actually love the new, more basic, wetsounds tower clamps. They reduced the hanging height of the 410's significantly, which allowed me to get about an inch more headroom with my z5 that I had with last year's boat. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Axis' tower is prewired and predrilled to allow the rev410's to be installed with the wiring going through the speaker clamps. It makes everything look soooooo much cleaner.

So, this weekend I was able to install the ws410, the xs12, run all speaker wires to the syn6 and syn2's, install a second battery, install a mirror arm and mirror, install the rev410's, and install all of the plug n play bags. I had the guys at axis upgrade my ballast system to malibu's new high flow system with this boat, so I've got full 1'' hose througout - which is going to be awesome for fill and dump times for th 1100's I put in the rear hatched and the front 900lb pnp sac. I'll tell you one thing though, it is noticably more difficult to bend and route that larger diameter tubing.

I have a little more clean up work to do on the wiring, but I'm really happy how everything turned out. And yes, I do have a huge in-line fuse between the power distribution block and the battery selector switch.

So, what do you guys think??? I hope to get it out this week and take some video/pictures of the wake.

I think you have way too much spare time on your hands if you got all that done in just a weekend! Looks good!! Are you going to do LED's in this one?

That is one BAD boat...I see you kept your same steering wheel. Are you going to tint the windshileld? I think that would look awesome!

Dude, that is soooooo sick! I just know I'm gonna end up selling my 2011 A20 and pickup one of these bad boys...lol. LOVE IT!

Also, did they change the white gelcoat color a little bit this year? It seems way more white than last years....which would be good because the white on my Lightning is brighter than that of my A20 right now.

How does the free air sub sound? I haven't heard a review of one of the factory Axis kick panel subs yet.
What color did you go with on the vinyl? Is that the platinum/grey?

Hey otown, the white gel on my A22 matches my 2008 F-250 just about spot on! It's a brilliant white!

The sub sounds ok. I'm eventually going to take the kick panel out and have a custom box built for the sub. It's just a waste to put a nice sub down there w/o the correct box for it.

The white does seem slightly brighter this year than last year.

The interior is the grey base color - I can't remember the actual color name.

I think I will do speaker ring led's again this year, but not cupholder rings. Those were a BIATCH to make.

Chat, you have the Alpine 12" sub right?

I thought it was pretty decent. I had a ported box for my JL 12w6 in my old Tige, that was incredible though.

I've got the wetsounds xs12 running off of a syn6 (700watts). It sounds decent, but you can tell where it loses range due to being open air.
