AUDIO

The factory Clarion marine CD player has all the features and options covered. However, for this type of system we need more preamp voltage.
 

In the cabin we installed a Clarion equalizer. The primary benefit of this EQ is we get six times 7-volt output versus four times 2-volt from the source unit. The difference in dynamic range, contrast and clarity is substantial. Also, the EQ provides 3-way zone control (front cockpit, rear cockpit and subwoofer).
   

A Boston Acoustics fan-cooled 5-channel amplifier is partially exposed from within a vinyl-clad birch shroud. A polished and clearcoated aluminum flame grill follows the Baja 35th anniversary theme. With little available storage the amplifier had to be exposed. The shroud allows full air circulation for the fan-cooled amplifier yet conceals all wiring and cable penetrations.

   

At the front of the cockpit, factory places left and right speakers in a non-symmetrical fashion. One speaker is high while the other is low. It’s not good for sound and it scores zero on cosmetic appeal. In using two pair of Polk MOMO separate component speakers in a symmetrical arrangement, we first had to correct for the forward angle of the interior mold on the port side. A fiberglass pod angles the speakers outward so that the port and starboard sides are perfectly balanced. The starboard side needs only a bolster of similar shape but without the angle correction. Polk MOMO tweeters and mid-bass drivers are recessed into the vinyl-clad pod and bolster.

 
   
To cover one of the previous speaker locations we installed matching vinyl-clad birch bolsters on both sides. The raised flame pattern ties into the Baja 35th anniversary flame theme. The bolsters are trimmed in black piping.
   

Rear facing Polk MOMO 6 ½ - inch integral components in the cockpit combing pockets. Recessed and angled, the rear Polk speakers are aimed directly at the rear bench seat occupants.
   

 
Two 10-inch flame vents allow dual 10-inch subwoofers to radiate from within the rear bench seat console. The aluminum grills are polished and clearcoated. The black acrylic trim ring dresses the grill’s exterior and a stainless steel mesh fills the interior. Again, the flames are used to compliment the boat’s existing 35th anniversary theme.
   

Inside the bench seat console a dual-chamber down-firing polyurethane and waterproof enclosure contains two Polk MOMO 10-inch subwoofers. Aluminum bracketry and polymer risers mount and elevate the enclosure.
   
LIGHTING
Baja badges at the rear of the combing pockets are backlit. These replace the factory courtesy lights.
   

From under the speakers, LED step lights at the front of the cockpit.

 

 

   

Along the rear bench and around the subwoofer grills are four step lights. At night the entire soul perimeter is lit up by the six total step lights.

 

 

   

The drink holders are well lit in the upper combing pockets. Also, backlit are the Baja badges.

 

 

   
Lit up lower combing pockets.
   

The engine compartment vents received dual light strips per side creating a fiery effect at night.

 

 

   

We have four different creative packages for the Baja 30 and 35. Each package (Flow, Flame, Swoop & Edge) has distinctive billet grills and a corresponding amplifier cover. The color combinations are endless.
