A badboy stereo for your ski!

I just thought I'd share my wee project on my 04 XPdi..

I decided to put sounds on it, but wanted something slightly more funky than the ones ive seen. I found a Fusion head deck that suited the application. Check the pics..
:cheers:

I have a set of 4inch DC Gold speakers still to be mounted where the rear view mirrors are. i have a usb port going into the top hatch and have made a waterproof ipod dock out of a tupperware container, an ipod usb cord and some foam to protect the ipod.

The head deck has am/fm and VHF which is handy for out on the water. I have waterproofed the back of it by sealing off all the wiring ect.

I also came across this funky little device that cuts the power to the stereo when the battery drops below 11.8v so I can still start the ski

The extra switch below the stereo is to cut the power if the ski isnt used for a period of time.

I will post more pictures when I finish the speaker install off.


Update: Finished putting in the speakers! This thing cranks! Can be heard @ 100+km/h no probs :bigear:

VERY COOL.

Where did you get the head from? I've been wanting to do something on my 4 person Genesis.
