First post, New to Nautique

[Ditch]

Hello All,

We have always been Malibu people until now... Our local dealer TNT Watersports in Hendersonville Tn, (near Nashville) has given us a an unbelievable deal on a beautiful beast IMO. This will be the third boat we have purchased through these guys and I can't say enough good about them, they are very fair, honest and extremely competent.
Thanks so much for this forum as it was absolutely key in our decision to come to the Nautique fam!

Anyway, there is so much helpful info and great ideas on here that I just keep on browsing and waiting on warmer weather.

Naturally there will be a complete audio gutting..
1 or 2 pairs of Rev 10's
New Kicker 6.5" inside (disappointed I can't get 8" )
Kicker L7 15" sealed box
2 or 3 Wetsounds Amps
Sundown Amp for Sub
Wetsounds WS420 EQ
1 Additional battery

2013 G23 450 HP

Nice! I have a black and green G23 on the way myself.

The guys at TNT Watersports are great... Hope to see you at Wakefest with this ride next season! I'd wait a bit longer on your stereo component selection until you see what else WS has to offer after SEMA... They did a walk-through of their new Tige yesterday with a new XXX-15" sub and new SD amp that's 2500 watts... 4 of them each in the boat!!! Also don't be so quick to count out 8" components... Give JonyB a call at www.proinstallzmobilemarine.com in Paducah, KY. He did a friend's G23 a few years ago and installed WS 8" speakers in custom surrounds. He's at SEMA this week as well, but will give you a fair price on components and can do a very clean, professional instal as well.

Sweet boat!! I was partial to the MXZ myself before getting a good look at the G and then it was no contest for me after that. I want to throw some Rev10s on the tower but I have the Z5 and will have to lower it to get them to fit...and I'm already ducking at 6'2. Have you considered porting the clubhouse (our name for the cavernous storage haha) for the subs?

[Ditch]

Jeff, I love the black and green combo...especially in a 2018 version That's gonna be a beut Clark!

Core, yes Sir me and the boys will be there again this next year for sure! That is awesome intel, thanks a bunch! I've only started ordering back bone stuff like wiring and, fuse blocks and such. The bulk of it will be in January or so and I will definitely check out the stuff you posted. I have done quite a bit of custom audio and will do part of this myself but I am going to let TNT do a bunch of it this time. The interior speakers are original and need to go immediately so I know the 8s will be in my future but not right away.
We are definitely porting the sub area but I want one of the ports that have the G23 on it that I have seen on here. I just can't figure out where they come from or if they are just custom pieces. Looks like I need to whip out the jig saw.
Thank you for the excellent info!

Pretty sure someone from here sells them on ebay.

Thank you Lyzer! I got my posts mixed up.. yes, we are porting the "clubhouse ". That is too funny! When we had our first Malibu the kids took naps in it and it was way smaller. This thing is huge in there! Good thing cause I'm gonna jam it full of Audio

This was the install I did on my 247 a couple years ago.
Wetsounds Syn 2
Wetsounds Syn 4
RE Audio 5000.1
RE XXX V2 12 Sub
4 Icon 8 Towers
8 6.5" Kickers

It rocked pretty good
But, there was very little room in there so I am really looking forward to this one!

[Ditch]

Thanks Mike, I will check it out! I really didn't even think of checking there...

Jeff, do you pics of what she will look like?

Do one of these pics look familiar?

I have the renderings from Design Your Nautique. It'll be Sublime Green metal flake and Onyx Black, with gray interior deck and tower. It'll also have custom SeaDek and a full custom Roswell audio system.

[Ditch]

Man!!! That is AWESOME! Can't wait to see the finished product. I love the metal flake and design!

We were on the other side of the barge with the blue canopy. I don't think I ever jumped enough boats to get down that far. I've been on my friend's boats the past 2 years, but have plans to bring mine back next year. We will need to catch up!
