Installed the 3 batteries, an ACR & 2 remote switches to control it all.

Are you a wakeboarder or a partier? Nice looking install but I haven't found a need for that much juice yet.

You don't have to be a "partier" to want/need batteries. Three Optimas isn't a lot of amp hours to begin with for a "party" set up but it is a good choice for reliable power with a small footprint in the storage area. 3 battery set ups are the norm. Two Optimas are a little over 100 amp hours for a stereo bank (I believe they also have a 75 amp hour battery) so I wouldn't say he has a lot of "juice". Bang for the buck, amp hours, and two batteries would be two 6 volts. That would be juice at 450-500 amp hours in only 2 batteries.

Are you using an onboard charger as well?

Anxious to see as well. W7 under helm maybe? SD6 is perfect for 3 some on the tower, but what the hell are the other 2 SD6s powering!?!? We need pics!! :D
