Is a Sight to Sea. |
|
 Our
second tribal edition Supra received audio, video and full
lighting treatment. |
| |
|
 |
 The
Kenwood MP3 CD player features triple preamp outputs which
translate into ‘front’ (all combing speakers), ‘rear’ (tower
speakers) and dedicated subwoofer level control. The changer
input is converted into a DVD theater sound input.
|
| |
|
|
 A DVD player is concealed behind this seat cushion. An on/off switch for the
DC to AC inverter and the locker’s courtesy light are integrated into the
custom vinyl-clad panel. The fan-cooled inverter and AC to DC LCD power supply
are mounted behind the DVD. |
| |
|
 |
An infrared target is installed in the righthand pocket for full control over
the DVD player while concealed. |
| |
|
|
 Behind
the observer seat we installed an amp rack that contains
two Boston Acoustics four-channel fan-cooled amplifiers.
All wiring is concealed.
We added an Optima red top and blue top plus a dual-battery
Perko switch. |
| |
|
 |
 20-inch LCD TV attaches to the tower. Family and friends can watch a movie from
the sun pad or pull up chairs on the dock.
An optional 20 amp converter and AC inlet can provide power
for entertainment all night long.
Another option provides a multi-source selector and wireless
link to receive satellite TV from the slip.
|
| |
|
|
The best part of the LCD
package is the ease in which the LCD is removed for boating.
The super sturdy aluminum bracket is released with a
single star bolt and slides off the tower leaving little
evidence of the mount.
An industrial wax keeps the close tolerances sliding
smoothly. |
|
|
| |
|
 |
 A
quarter turn of the single 4-connector power molex plus a composite
video RCA jack allows total removal in just seconds without
any remaining cables. |

 Polk
MOMO integral components in the bow. The passive crossover
networks are mounted to sealed birch panels, which are mounted
to the interior of the combing bolsters. A secure mounting
ensures reliability. |
| |
|
 |
Two
pair of Polk MOMO integrals mounted in the cockpit for s total
of six high-pass components in the body.
The adjustable tweeters can be aimed to place listeners precisely
in the sweet spot. |
| |
|
 |
 Under
the driver’s helm a Polk MOMO 12-inch subwoofer
is loaded into a sealed enclosure. The enclosure and its
mounts are covered by a birch façade clad in marine-grade
carpet. The woofer is dressed in a black powder-coated aluminum
grill. The tribal flame grill is milled to match the overhead
tower scheme.
Also, the enclosures and façade are elevated off
the deck in order to preserve the original leg room. |
| |
|
|
 A black powder-coated tribal wing suspends
six bullet pods from the tower. The wing’s internal raceway
conceals all speaker and light wiring except for two small
looms bridging the wing and tower. |
| |
|
 |
The two collars are also powder-coated black to match the tower. |
| |
|
 |
The six bullet pods are powder-coated in ‘red’ to match the hull.
We employed a two-part process including a clear coat, which produces a wet look
that pops. |
| |
|
 |
 We
added four forward-facing halogen lamps to the front vertical
tower rails. |
| |
|
 |
 Six
rear-facing halogens were added across the rear horizontal
rail. The ten halogen lamps require six heavy gauge conductors
running through the tower plus three 40 amp relays and 8-gauge
service routed directly to the battery. Each halogen bracket
was welded directly to the tower prior to powder-coating. This
produced a super-clean look eliminating collars, bars and bulky
looms. |
| |
|
 |
 Two
small down casting courtesy lights are barely noticeable under
the tower but can flood the boat’s interior after dark. |
| |
|
 |
 A
pair of step lights are concealed under the bow bolsters.
Another pair of step lights are recessed into the rear pockets
that house speakers and drink holders. |
| |
|
 |
We installed an under-dash panel that holds three marine switchers and a dimmer.
Each marine switch receives a watertight boot. One 3-position switch controls
the halogen lamps (front only, all off and all on). A second 3-position switch
controls combinations of courtesy lights. A 2-position switch controls the light
rings around the tower speakers and subwoofer. |
| |
|
|
At nightfall from a distance
the red lights create a dramatic sunset.
