Yamaha waverunner bluetooth stereo install

2017 Yamaha VX Deluxe Wave-runner Bluetooth amp with speakers install

[@kenmcalpine2215]

How's the clarity on the water? I did something similar, and I find the wind distorts the sound.

[@droski33]

Super clean install. Great idea with the plexi glass.

[@samuelking9503]

Thanks. Didn't wanna butcher my brand new waverunner.

[@malikshabazz4569]

Wow!!! I like the way you set that up. I'm inspired to setup my FX the same way. Great job!!!

[@simardssurveillancesystems8209]

Clean Install, As I Car Audio System Installer Myself, Just Curious As To How Is The Charging System Able To Keep Up With The Amp Draw On A Jetski Battery, Have You Had Any Battery Drain Issues??

[@JJ-bp6nr]

Nice clean and effective !!! Well done brotha sounds loud and clean. Ride safe 🤜👋

[@samuelking9503]

Thanks

[@antonioenriquez7729]

That help me alot! Thanks and is sound nice and clear, i like it!

[@benschroeder1161]

Do you get any interference noise from this setup?

[@rockvillesam3772]

Its a nice install but more than 75% of the output will be lost on the water as the speakers are facing completely away from the driver of the ski. You will hear the low frequency OK but the high notes will be invisible to the driver and will sound great to the boat next to you where the speaker is facing and firing the audio output at.

[@jesucio8026]

Looks Clean! Nice Work👌🏽

[@2dthoughts]

Looks great My Wave Runner is old and I’m still not brave enough to go cutting speaker holes Lol I’m hesitant to drill for the wire to go to my speakers Lol

[@blakrain525]

Nice install. Sounds great

[@bogdanlech1]

The question I have is how to hook up the power so in case the jet ski touring over I want to have the power shut off ASAP with the kill switch is not possible and how to find that power?

[@brandonmillan5344]

Great video!

[@Rob57664]

What this setup cost u if u don’t mind me asking 🤔 trying to pull the trigger on a set of speakers asap

[@Grimreaper420ful]

I’ve seen many people cut holes and mount the speakers, how does water not get into the inside, what if u tip? Won’t it take on water and sink? I’m honestly just asking I’m curious

[@BUGGEE0]

Not sure but maybe they can use some kind of silicone when mounting the speakers.nothing too permanent like 5200 but something light just to keep water out.just incase speakers has to be removed later,you wont rip the paint off with that 5200 stuff.

[@collintoups5987]

Grimreaper420ful no it won’t. Very durable!!

[@samuelking9503]

Speakers had gaskets that i siliconed

[@onegodwininc]

Its been about 2 yrs now are you still happy with the system? Have you had any problems with the system?

[@samuelking9503]

No problems at all. Still sounds as good as ever

[@jaimewanda]

Nice video, clean install

[@jakehaskell5777]

Nice job Sam. I'm having difficulty with my set up, maybe you can through me some advice. I have my iphone hooked up to the rca cables from the amp using the RCA to headphone jack wire provided in the wire harness for the amp. I have the amp hooked directly to the battery (ground and hot). My amp is not turning on (no illumination or music playing through speakers). I have one wire not hooked up, the remote wire. I am told that the amp may not turn on in this configuration because the iphone doesn't provide enough power, but its hooked up to the battery on the jet ski! WTF lol! I don't want to buy and install a remote. I don't see the benefit in a remote and a bluetooth model is even more of a waste because who can use their phone while jet skiing? Might as well just plug it in right? Can I just use a toggle switch as opposed to a remote (or a head unit)? My big problem is that there is only one wire (blue wire - remote wire) not in use; so how do I get that hooked up to a toggle switch? or a remote if I go that route? Do I have to run more power to the toggle or remote? and attach the blue remote wire to the hot side of the toggle or remote? Thanks in advance, Jake

[@montromaximo7726]

All I want to know is are the speakers marine?

[@mikeman101433]

Hey amazing set up. can you post a link of what exactly you used to cut the holes im having trouble finding a hole bit for the awkward size kicker requires.

[@samuelking9503]

What I used was a dremel bit made of tungsten carbide. It cuts fiberglass.

[@on_geepee]

What are the little boxes with the speaker wire??

[@christianulmer5492]

Very nice, my friend...very nice!

[@samuelking9503]

thanks

[@papschaps7158]

How much you charge to do mines boss

[@petertitle]

Hey Samuel, nice install man. Have you been out on the water with it? How are the speakers holding up? Just bought a VX Cruiser HO this weekend and planning on adding a sound system to it, and your set up seems perfect. Let me know how its holding up.

[@samuelking9503]

Speakers are holding up great.

[@fnatomagan]

People on here concerned about the hole's from the speaker/screws(which I'm sure are sealed) and thinking it'll sink when it flips. I think it would sink a lot fast from the massive access hole from under the seat.(and no it doesn't) LOL

[@BUGGEE0]

Kml good one lol

[@IDKWHYIDOTHISSHIT]

Good point lol

[@domproc2020]

Hey hows it going im installing a JL audio system on my waverunner in a few days. Just wondering are you able to hear it while your going full speed?

[@samuelking9503]

My Kenwood is a 400 watt amp. With 200 watt speakers. it's pretty loud. I don't turn it all the way up cause speakers won't be able to handle the 400 watts. In hind sight I should have matched speakers to amp. With that being said, I can hear it quite well at full speed.

[@samuelking9503]

Yes. Placement and wattage of speakers are cruial.

[@skysetunfold]

@@samuelking9503 I just picked up the same set up can't wait to install it on my brand new ski. The amp is 400 watt Max. If wired in stereo it's 45 watts per channel. If wired in bridge mode it's 90 watts per channel. The speakers are 195 watt Max but 60 continuous watts. That means if you have it wired in stereo you shouldn't have a problem turning the volume up. Love your set up! Hopefully mine comes out just as good.

[@gabeshillings1756]

What did you use to seal the speakers to the hull of the jet ski?

[@mortem_skyyt9506]

Ur mom

[@luizsantana4954]

WHAT ABOUT THE HEAT FROM ENGINE OVER THE AMPLIFIER ??

[@samuelking9503]

No issues with heat. The compartment has good clearance for the Amp and it's not mounted near the engine.

[@yonnypiti]

Hey man , question, did you add a extra battery??

[@samuelking9503]

No I didn't. Used the existing battery.

[@on_geepee]

How did you wire the ignition wires to amplifier?

[@samuelking9503]

I didn't. I wired power thru a rocker switch. I turn it off and on independently.

[@on_geepee]

Thank you

[@on_geepee]

And what were the 2 or 3 wires you wired to the switch...i just bought the switch today, but im not sure what wires to wire to the switch?

[@samuelking9503]

@@on_geepee The switch only has 2 wires. It is just an off/on switch. One wire coming from the + battery terminal to one side of the switch, and the other wire going from the other side of the switch to the power wire (+) of the controller.

[@on_geepee]

Thank you again. I just got done with my install...after watching a few videos and a few questions , it was a success...thanks again

[@zama89]

Great information. Thanks for the video. How have things been since you've had time to spend with it over the past year?? I really want to do something like this on my VXR. Have you had any sort of battery issues?? Running down the battery, etc?

[@samuelking9503]

No issues. It Definitely makes time spent on the water more enjoyable. As far as the battery is concerned, as long as your waverunner is running, there will be no battery issues.

[@michaelrodriguez8299]

So you hooked up power straight to existing battery? Do you think wiring to a separate battery would be better? Main battery would not drain as fast?

[@cesardelatorre7213]

I would rather get two m6 jl audio speakers on a 500watt marine amp! That’ll blow that system away

[@wassemdarwiche6928]

you know it! Jl audio is a bit more pricey but worth every penny. The quality is so crispy I love them

[@SlayerHawkX]

not to be a dick...but holy shit..holes like that in the ski.not smart...how is it doing now or is it at the bottom of the lake?

[@dashsmackdowndash6604]

If you flip your ski water will come in through the speaker holes your drilled...it will sink.

[@samuelking9503]

Actually no it won't. They are marine speakers and the holes are sealed. Flipped already and still floating. But thanks for your observation

[@salvatorericupero4377]

Aggiungi un'altra batteria

[@bergsgeten1]

Sounds like s*it man. but looks nice. Meh
