Hey everyone,
Picked up a 2002 SAN 210 this past weekend and it’s in need for some help in the audio section. I have been going back and forth about what direction I want to go with it. I’m looking to add some good quality sound that is clear and has some good bass. I have young kids and I don’t typically blast my music so I’m more interested in good quality sound.
It still has the stock 6 in boat speakers and an older Kenwood head unit. The previous owner had an older Pioneer Premier 12” sub in a box just on the floor behind the driver seat but I have removed that. I want that space open for a cooler/bags, etc. it also has an older set of Infinity tower speakers but those will be removed. Under the helm is an infinite amp ( assuming for towers) and an older JL e1200 amp that I believe was for the sub.
My plan is to upgrade the 6 in boat speakers with something decent. Not planning to spend a ton of money, because I’m sure anything new will sound better than stock. I’ve looked at JL, Rockford, and entertained some of the lower wetsounds options.
I also want to add a sub, not sure of 10” or 12” due to space. Where are you guys mounting these? I’m coming from a much newer and
bigger boat so space is already very limited. I’d like to avoid filling the observer seat storage completely with a sub box.
As for the amp, I’m thinking a 5 or 6 channel amp to power the in boat speakers and sub. What do you guys think?
im going to wait on towers at this time because we dont really wake board often and dont have the need for sound projection. We’re typically in the boat or have a Bluetooth speaker when in the beach.
looking for some opinions on speakers and how you guys mount them? Keep the mesh speaker cover or mount on top of the combing pad? Also, sub suggestions and mounting locations? Also wanted to update the head unit if it is in the budget but the Kenwood may work for now since it has Bluetooth. Thank you all!
