    This boat started with the base level Polk in-boat system of 2 pair of Polk 6.5" in-boats, Polk 10" woofer and Polk 5 chnl amp. All that came out.

    We added 2 pair Wet Sounds Rev-10 driven by an SD-2 for 300W rms to each

    Three new pair Wet Sounds XS-650 driven by a Syn-DX4 for 100W rms to each

    Wet Sounds XS-XXX 12" woofer loaded in a Roswell Wakeair G box, driven by a Kicker KX2400.1 amp. This is a 1200 watt rms setup with the woofer wired in series @ 4 ohm. Amp runs super conservative with plenty of wattage for the woofer.

    New custom amp wall with matching gray carpet to mount the 3 new amps.  

    We vented the port locker to allow the bass radiation out into the main cabin. This make a huge difference on these boats

    Bringing it all together is a Wet Sounds WS-420SQ

    Funny enough, I own this boat now. This system rocks, but I am having some electrical problems with the boat and I am wondering if there is some kind of stereo short causing them possibly? Any chance I could get an email or number to call? Thanks!

    Id suspect a voltage issue. With the power demands of the audio ballast system, paired with the Link helm system and engine ECM which are both voltage sensitive system, it can cause all kinds of weird issues. If the audio media center is off and the problems are present, this most likely eliminates the audio system, as the only links between the audio and the rest of the boat, are the battery and link. The battery is the voltage source for the entire boat and the LINK acts as a slave wired remote for the audio. If its off, then there is no audio load on the batteries. If the issue is only present when the audio is on. this points more toward low voltage. 

    Ill PM you mobile. Give me a call tomorrow.

    So, I have a similar 2014 G23.  Bluetooth quit working a couple of years ago, now one of the Polk PA 5000.5 amps quit working.  I want the audio to work with the Links system. Also would wouldn't mind upgrading. Am I better off leaving this to the Nautique dealer or finding a local car/marine audio shop here in OKC? Thanks!

    The blue tooth is integrated into the Polk black box, so no fixing that. You could install a universal blue tooth to the AUX in, but you would not have song display and track advance on the link. 

    The JL Media Master may be compatible. However, I do not know how far back the Link/JL software is backward compatible. This would be a dealer question. 

    If I was going to replace the Polk 5 chnl, id go with the Kicker KXMA900.5
