Bought my first pontoon (Bennington 2550 RCB ) yesterday after 30+ years of owning and operating fiberglass runabout and deck boats. Really excited to transition to this great platform for future fun on the lake! My first task is to upgrade the stereo system. Replacing Sony head unit with Kicker KMC5 unit, replacing the cabin 6.5 inch speakers with Kicker 45KM654L speakers. adding 2x Kicker speakers to the rear swim platform and adding 2 more kicker speakers off the bow (8 speakers total), adding 2x JBL MA4505 1800W 5 channel amps, and finally adding a Kicker 46CWTB104 10 inch subwoofer. I had the same set up in my last deck boat and it provided great sound! Why change, right???
My question - what is the best way to route the amp power cables and the rear speaker wires from the stern battery compartment to the helm compartment? I have read some threads where folks were able to fish the wires through a factory cable track, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get my cable fish through that track. I have also read that some people installed a piece of PVC to act as a cable routing track. Any strong preferences? If anyone ran a separate PVC track, where did you install it and how did you get the cables from the PVC into the helm area? Anyone have pics of how they did this? Thanks in advance!
