Installing stereo system in 2004 Tracker V16 Pro Guide

[timmyboy188]

Hi guys, I searched around a bit, but didn't really find what I was looking for. I'm looking for some advice on a complete stereo kit for my boat. I have the universal opening on the passenger side of the boat, where it looks like a head unit can go, but I'm not sure on a proper fitting case for that spot. I haven't wired up a stereo kit since high school, so I'm a little fuzzy on it. I'm thinking I will just get an amp, speakers, head unit, and wire straight to the battery. Any help would be appreciated on a good kit with Bluetooth, 2-4 speakers and some wiring tips.

Thanks!

Tim

Buy this instead, and save that space on your dash for storage of phone, pliers, etc.

Self contained, built in amp, Bluetooth, just add speakers of your choice.

Depends on what your end goals are, but in that boat, I probably wouldn't put in an amp. Put in a decent head unit and 4 good speakers and call it a day.

That's a fantastic idea Slip Away! Thanks! Okay, well then what, I just pick up that head unit, and 4 speakers and wire them straight to the battery for power?

Yep, wire the HU to the battery, and make sure there is an in-line fuse. That is about it. If you do get the JBL HU, you will be really impressed.

Sweet! That's the plan. I found the complete set with speakers for it, so I'll just go that route.
