MALIBU 247 IN BLACK AND PURPLE
GETS EQUIPPED WITH PREMIUM AUDIO AND LIGHTING.

|
| The owner picked a great
color combo because this boat received lots of compliments
while we worked on it.

|
| On the tower oversized Bullet
chrome pods including matching tweeter pods, are loaded
with JL Audio marine components. The tower version of
these drivers are designed for a very small displacement
versus infinite baffle. The pods interior are treated
with dynamat and damped with polyester fiber. The result
Is the best midbass and smoothest response of any tower
speakers to date. Chromed billet grills on the tower
midbass and tweeters follow the spoked pattern of the
Polk dB speakers used in the boat. These same billet
grills can also be powdercoated silver to identically
match the color of the in-boat Polk.

adjustable-angle tweeters, 2nd order high-pass crossover,
Ferro fluid cooling and high-roll surrounds on the midbass. |

Three redundant level controls underdash provide more convenient
access to the triple zones. |

Underdash a digital display remote control
on the left hand side versus the typical right side. The

 Within the port locker we installed two four-channel
Boston Acoustics fan-cooled amplifiers. |
| |
|
 |
The larger four-channel drives the tower
speakers high-pass and the subwoofer bridged-mono low-pass. |
| |
|
 |
The smaller four-channel drives eight combing
coaxils high-pass. Birch amp mounting panels are covered
in marine-grade carpet and conceal all wiring. |
| |
|
 |
Under the driver’s helm console we
installed a Boston Acoustics G5 10-inch subwoofer. There
was barely space between the heater and façade, which
was still able to lean forward as original. The B.A. G5 sub
can hit with authority and still delivers the most accurate
tonal construction available.
This system sounds outstanding. There’s plenty of output.
Most impressive is the seamless integration between sub and
satellite speakers. |

|
|
| Step lights at the floor
are a great addition to the standard courtesy light locations.
