EARMARK designed and installed this cockpit
audio system for a professional football player. The owner
requested the system play loud and clean. To do the job, we
needed a lot of power and a lot of speaker surface area.
Since the boat was being delivered to the coast, all exterior
components have to stand up to a salt rich environment.
We added a hideaway Sirius satellite radio tuner and installed
a white marine stalk antenna atop the radar arch. |
 |
Above the factory source unit, we installed two level controls.
A dual-amp-balancer fades between the six flushmount cockpit
speakers and the radar arch speakers. A sub-level control provides
dedicated volume of the two cockpit subwoofers. The source unit’s
fader is used to vary between the cabin and cockpit systems.
|
 |
The source unit, changer and level controls are normally
concealed. |
 |
A waterproof digital remote control at the helm also provides
visual confirmation of volume, source and other key features.
|
 |
We added a second remote control to the transom. This
can be accessed from the aft seating by simply reaching over
the cushion. Or, this remote control can be reached from the
swim platform. A separate circuit backlights the controls
at night in conjunction with the navigation lights. |
 |
A 900 watt Boston Acoustics six-channel amplifier is mounted
under the salon’s sliding couch. This amp features onboard
fan cooling. |
 |
With the couch cushion installed, the amplifier is permanently
concealed. |
  |
| Shown are the starboard and port
helm speakers which we upgraded to MB Quart. |
  |
  |
| The single arch speakers were replaced with two
MB Quart on each side. A polymer trim panel allowed us to keep
all four speakers low in the arch for better midbass performance.
|
  |
| Centered under the arch and mounted to the far
rear of the arch, a pair of Boston Acoustics Voyagers are directed
over the transom. With their independent volume control and
180 degrees swivel capability, the Voyagers are perfectly suited
to project long distances to the bow, slip or those rafting
behind the boat. |
 |
Concealed in the aft seating are dual 10-inch subwoofer enclosures.
The three vents are virtually invisible. |
 |
A louvered vent allows bass radiation to escape the console.
|
 |
Off to the side two vents are hidden between the consoles.
|
 |
With the motorized engine compartment hatch partially lifted
all three vents are exposed. |
   |
| Each 10-inch downfiring enclosure features a JL
Audio W3 woofer. The totally waterproof enclosures are elevated
of the deck 2-inches by aluminum brackets and polymer spacers.
