Re: Starting Stereo/Electronics Upgrade Project

well done, good fab skills showing your hard work. my 343 had a similar source unit panel and the ancient DVD player. some things become obsolete.

Re: RGB(W) Lighting Controller

fusion has an RGB+W controller that i believe is NMEA2k compatible.IIRC, this has the ability to change the white color too, if you light are compatible.

Re: Perko "Off" but helm switches still working

i would bet that some one moved the dash power wire to the input side of the switch and not the output. only things that are supposed to be on constant power are bilge pumps, stereo memory, and CO2 monitors (generally)

Re: Stereo System Upgrade - JL or Wetsounds

Yes I ran new speaker wire in my tower. It was pretty easy. I didn't replace my disconnect connectors though. I have no idea what discounts are going on. I haven't watch them since I bought mine. I bought my rev8s off ebay with rotational clamps for $600.00 couldn't turn that down. BBP if you were ...

Just got off the phone with Derrick at Cobalt Corporate and he said they do not have the templates, they do not carry replacements and they do not...
