[Brichter14]

Putting in the new amp. Gonna be 500 rms to the 485. The pro 80s came in a little bit rough so i removed the drivers and grilles and im gonna take the cans to a body shop tomorrow for paint. Stay tuned

OK, they must have changed it. Mine is attached to the seat back on one end, both port and starboard sides...

[Brichter14]

Oh well because the tray has a back to it, it just rests against the gunwal of the boat. Its not attached to the vinyl of the seatback in any way

[raymanrox]

The "tray" that will hold the cupholder screws into the seatbottom and rests there

I meant how it is attached to the seat back, not the bottom...sorry for the confusion, I didn't choose my wording well~

Awesome job Brichter! I will be installing my cup holders soon. I have had the side panels off before during speaker install, but don't remember seeing how the tray is attached to the upholstered piece? Any advice is appreciated! I plan on adding 2 cup holders per side. Ray

So look what came in the mail today!



I bought two pro80s and a pro 485 for way too cheap from a poor soul who got his girlfriend pregnant and is unloading his toys.

They are not in "pristine" shape so i am going to wetsand them and try to polish them back up. Also gonna paint the grilles red and maybe the mounting brackets red.

I also ordered a new polk d2000.2 amp to power the 485.

So I took the boat out today to wakeboard for the first time with the new system installed. It was siphon draining all the bags so I had to turn the ball valve to stop it from draining through the fill hoses. When I did the system I put the fill oases in the top of the bags and I figured it wouldn't siphon out but I was wrong. Three 1" check valves are on order from wakemakers so it doesn't happen anymore.

What are the dimensions of your locker and the bag you have in it?

The locker is like 20 wide by 16 tall and 68 long. I just bought the rear seat/ski locker bag from wakemakers and it fills the entire thing perfectly. 650 lbs.


i don't have any wake pics because using an iPhone for long range pics doesn't work. Here's a vid of my buddy doing some weirded backroll to revert.

Great write up and install! Thanks for sharing.

Took it out today to test it while its off the trailer. Everything works flawlessly. When its off the trailer it has enough pressure to fill all three bags at once. I timed the fill and drain while out there. With two 750s and a 650 in the locker that's 2150 lbs when completely filled.

To fill all three bags to capacity( water comes out the vent/drain holes when filled to the max) it took around 5 minutes 30 seconds. The fills use t1200 pumps.





To completely drain it took 8 minutes 30 seconds with the t800 pumps.




With the bags empty I drove around a bit and there wasn't any noticeable filling. With the bags full there wasn't any noticeable draining. Granted I didn't drive longer than a few minutes.


Very happy with the results.
