Well I decided to upgrade the stock stereo set up in my 2008 cheetah wild cat. It had a basic head unit with the typical 6x9 cheap kickers In it. I was looking for a while to find a good install shop in Havasu and many recommended Michael at speed of sound. I spoke with him Over the phone and then reviewed his Instagram account. I was very impressed not only by the quality of his installs but with the dedication this guy has to his craft. He works sometimes till 3:00am, works 7 days a week, and in peoples storage units in scorching heat. I knew if I used him he would treat my boat that same as if he was working on a 350k DCB. He is very knowledgeable about audio as he has been doing it for decades. Also won many competitions for sound. I highly recommend his services. He is priced well for the quality you will receive.
So here is what we are going with in my system.
Rockford fosgate PMX-5 main head unit
2 - fosgate PMX-1R’s digital remotes
Jl audio 800/8 amp for mids and highs
Jl audio 600/1 for subs
Sound digital M250.2 amp for channel pods
1- set of PM2652 Rockford 6.5’s
1- set of PM282H Rockford 8’s
2- sets of T1682 6x9’s
1- set PM282W-B 8” channel pods
2- PM210S4 10” subs.
Can’t wait to hear what it sounds like.
Here are some pics of the install

I know right. After I met with Michael he convinced me that RF was the way to go so we will see once it’s done. I was on the fence with channel pods till he played some music through the 8’s. Unbelievable how loud and clear they were.

I’ll know this weekend when I go out to the lake. He did a really good job with placement of all the speakers and components. Gave me a great deal on the install of everything. He said it sounds amazing. I’m sure it does. Better than 4 6x9’s

Hahaha yea gotta be a little better at least lol. Curious what all he does for these Channel Pod’s. I’m all JL but just ordered a set of the new Horn Loaded 9” Kicker cans. Got them direct for a price i couldn’t imagine passing up, so wanna see how he does them before i just mount them under my hatch.

Michael is fantastic to work with, Great to see yours coming together so well.

He just finished my Howard deck with 7 pair of JL's, 2 12" RF subs simply ridiculous.

Planning to add horn loaded PODS, the sound the put out is killer....
