For reference, I'm running a 1200 watt 6 channel that's effectively running around 725 watts @ 4 ohms and a 1200 watt sub amp that's doing 800 rms @ 2 ohms. The dealer added a second battery to my boat at time of purchase that's the same as the factory starting battery. It's an off brand that...

I don't think it would be a difficult task, but I would have one concern about it. The supports are all angled, so but cutting them, you will not only reduce the height, but you would also slightly change the lenght of the bimini framework. Depending on the type of bimini you have, it may...

I'm a long time boater but this is my second season with a pontoon. I had similar issues at first adjusting to the differences between my pontoon and previous boats. The biggest mistake I see most people make with all types of boats is putting the trailer in way too deep. Try not backing in...

There's an area in the front and rear of the helm where you can see that material is significantly thicker. It looks like they fiberglassed over a piece of plywood or other similar material to reinforce those areas. The area in the front is where they mount the factory stereo to. I ordered...

Makes sense. I hadn't considered an Aux in when I saw that connection. Yep, you should be able to run everything from the rear out. I'm not an expert on the appropriate wire gauge to run, so I'll defer to anyone else with more expertise in that area. This is a source that I used to give me...

If you haven't already, I'd pull the connector off of the QHB1 that houses the blue/gray wire and test the pin that corresponds to that wire for voltage. If there's no voltage there with the switches turned on, you're probably at a dead end. If there is voltage on that pin, you'd want to use...

I think you said you tested for voltage, but did you test for continuity in the blue/gray wire? You could also test for voltage directly off of the corresponding pin on that QHB1 module. If you're not getting anything there, it could be the module is bad or there's an issue between the module...

Wish I could help more, but I'm almost out of ideas on this one. When you use the touch screen to turn those lights on, do you hear hear a clicking sound from the QHB1 module? From what I remember, you should be able to hear the relays in the module open and close for most functions. Other...

I have the factory Rockford Fosgate subwoofer, mounting plate and bracket, and wiring harness for sale. I will also have a pair of the factory Rockford Fosgate M1-65 LED interior speakers for sale later this week. All items were removed from a 2025 that was purchased midway through last season...

If you look more closely at that schematic, I believe the block you are referencing is the 12 pin harness for the stereo and I believe that wire is actually a positive power input to the led functions from the stereo (possible backlighting for any remotes or the physical controls on the dash)...

From your picture, it looks like you have 4 wires run to the led harness of your speaker, which is appropriate. It is usually a single ground wire and 3 positive wires, one for each led color. It looks as if the speaker isn't even hooked up. Those spade connectors should be what is powering...

After a lot of back and forth, I made up my mind and ordered the final pieces to upgrade my stereo. I ended up going with non-marine amplifiers and a Kicker 12" L7T in a truck box. I had already pulled the power wires at the end of last season and ended up pulling new wires to the forward...

These are generally wired with one battery running all accessories and another used only for starting the motor. For you to have lost both at once, on two different sets of batteries, leads me to believe that you have single common denominator that effects both batteries. The only thing I can...

My boat did not have the lighted cupholders but had some of the other RGB lighting options. I wanted to add them and made the cost of parts part of the deal to purchase the boat. It's not an overly difficult install process if you're willing to take it on yourself. The most time consuming...

I'm glad that helped. Your fader situation is a little more confusing. The only reason I can think of that it would behave that way is because the rear RCA outs for your head unit are for rear speakers OR the subwoofer output. It could be that when you fade to the front speakers, it's still...
