Being one of a limited edition Cigarette, this boat deserves
a stereo upgrade design that will maintain the integrity of
the original color and texture scheme. The customer also
demanded that it plays very, very loud which means a lot of
speakers and power. |
|
| |
Within the cabin, a Sony CD source unit and a Phoenix Gold
voltmeter are housed in an aluminum bezel. |
 |
 |
To the rear of the source unit behind a hatch is a compartment
containing a Sony CD changer and XM satellite radio controller. |
|
 |
The low-silhouette sharksfin XM antenna is mounted atop the
bow deck. |
|
 |
On the port side the wired remote control is directly in front
of the passenger. The driver requested this since he prefers
the navigator controls the stereo while he operates the boat
at over 80 MPH. |

At the helm, we doubled up on mid-bass drivers and titanium
dome tweeters to raise the dynamic range and power handling
to compete with the high-speed wind noise and the massive exhaust
of twin performance motors. The tweeters are rear-loaded
and the mid-bass drivers are recessed in the trim rings.
The trim rings are covered in a marine vinyl dyed to match. |
 |
 |
Behind the bolster chairs and in front of the rear bench seats
are another two pair of MB Quart separates, each flushed into
a teardrop shaped trim ring. Each gunwale contains a sealed
enclosure for a 10-inch Boston Acoustics Pro woofer. The
enclosure baffle is padded and upholstered to match. Notice
that all mounting hardware is concealed. This is achieved
by using double-nutted stainless steel bolts and nuts accessible
from the gunwale interior via the map pocket openings. |
 |
 |
We added an ABS flange to the existing woofer grills to cover
the extra wide rim of the cast frame Boston Acoustics woofers.
All grills and flanges throughout were dyed the identical marine
white for uniformity. |
|
 |
Two more grills and Boston Acoustics 10-inch Pro woofers are
located under the rear bench seat. These grills actually
act as vents for the separately enclosed down-firing woofers. |
|
 |
The rear bench seat woofers are sealed in red polyurethane-coated
enclosures. Both the woofers and gold-plated terminal cups
face downward. These enclosures are waterproof to 350 degrees.
The enclosure is elevated and mounted with aluminum brackets
and stainless steel hardware.
Boston Acoustics Pro woofers were ideal for this marine application.
Featuring a heavy butyl rubber surround, a poly cone and a
non-corrosive cast frame, the Boston Acoustics are resistant
to the harshest elements. Best of all, the Boston Acoustics
operate in a 0.6 cu. ft. enclosure as room for four enclosures
was very tight.

 |
Two JL Audio 500/1 subwoofer amps power this system, which
run the four Boston Acoustics 10-inch subwoofers. Two
JL Audio 300/2 amps are used to run the eight MB Quart component
sets. This Living Legend is L-O-U-D and clean! |
|
| |
A 200 amp circuit breaker in the engine compartment is connected
to one gauge primary wire which supplies the amplifier rack
with the necessary current capacity.
A separate system inside the cabin consists of a four-channel
amplifier, four 5 1/4 inch component speakers and an 8-inch
enclosed subwoofer (not shown).
