Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Just bough a 2015 A24, very excited to pick it up next week and get started on the stereo first thing. It has the most basic stereo with the Sony deck (w/ Bluetooth) and the 4 factory speakers.


So far I have bought:

-2 more wet sounds 6.5 for bow (real excited to install these )
-2 Sampson S9HD towers
-1 Exile XM80.5 5 channel amp
-1 Exile MX32.2 2 channel amp
-1 Exile Xi12DVC 12" sub

My plan is to run the interior speakers and Sub with the 5 channel and the towers with the 2 channel. I plan to mount the amps next to the batteries but not sure what the most efficient way is to get RCA and preamps from the deck to the battery area? Can you pass them under the boat or do I need to go around the front?

Please note I wont get the boat for about another week as the dealer is adding some options I wanted but I would like to start ordering some of the wire, RCA's ect for the stereo install.

Thank you and here is a picture from the day we did the demo

What size motor did you get?

6.0l 409

No one has installed a stereo in a a24??

I bought mine with the stereo pack 3 so I'm no help.

Thanks jdiaz78... Wish mine would have but did not want to wait to order one.

Just did a install on a 2014 t22. There is a tunnel on mine that goes from the drivers side to the passenger side lookout seat storage area under the glove compartment. You have to remove the plywood carpeted cover under the steering wheel where the sub is or would be if it came with one, think there is 4 screws holding that cover on. The power wires from the batteries to the 4 position night switch then run through that tunnel to the drivers area. I don't know if it matters but I made sure not to cross my rca wires over the positive and negative wire in case it would cause some engine noise to go through my speakers. Hope that helps but I think the t22 and a24 may be a bit different at the front..... They still had to run the power over to the drivers side from the batteries so there has to b some kind of access over to the stereo

Thanks zurril13 I will mount the amps on the battery side so I just need to run RCA cables and remote wire over. I am going to go to the dealership tomorrow and try and figure out wiring paths so I can order cables.

No worries. I used a 12' rca cable. More then i needed but just zip tied the extra up out of the way. Mounted my Amps at the front of the storage but I believe on your boat the bow seat back cushion can be lifted to access the storage area under the glove compartment too so u might have to get a little creative. On mine I drilled through the back of the storage and just used a cutting disk to zip off the extra screw that went through the front. Got the idea cause when I took the back rest off in the bow axis had done that already when mounting the plywood carpeted piece to the inside of the storage area.

Got the boat pulled apart a bit, did you run your RCA cables right next to your battery cable going from deck to battery side?
