Brandonloos_21 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Hi all, I am going to be using an arc audio ps8 pro for my boat stereo, and I am wondering what your thoughts are on my baseline tune. I'm new to this, so I am still learning, and any feedback is appreciated! Since my boat has rca zone pairs that I am already content with and control from headunit, I am planning on just running them straight thru the DSP (not needing to do any mixing or combining of channels). Let me know your thoughts on how I have it setup! The PS8 Pro file is saved to a google drive here! I obviously will do in person tuning and eq once everything is installed and baseline is solidified. /cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,onerror=redirect,width=1920,height=1920,fit=scale-down/https://www.diymobileaudio.com/attachments/boat-setup-jpg.360141/ The below will explain the above depiction The stereo consists of a 4 zone headunit (4 rca pairs out), these are separated into the following Front cabin rcas (R+L) Rear cabin rcas (R+L) Tower rcas (R+L) Sub rcas (R+L) The stereo is going to be powered by 5 amplifiers, these are as follows (1) Cabin amplifier - Sundown Salt 500.4 - Signal from front cabin rcas AND rear cabin rcas (2) Tower amplifiers - Sundown Salt 200.4's - Signal from tower rcas (will use splitter to go into both amps) (2) Subwoofer amplifiers - Sundown Salt 3k's - Signal from sub rcas (will use splitter to go into both amps) The speaker pairs that the amps will power are as follows Cabin Pairs Front Cabin - 4 Wet sounds revo 8 speakers, 2 left and 2 right, wired into 2 ohm pairs, powered by front SALT 500.4 amplifier channels Rear Cabin - 4 Wet sounds revo 8 speakers, 2 left and 2 right, wired into 2 ohm pairs, powered by rear SALT 500.4 amplifier channels Tower Pairs Tower pair 1 - 2 Wet sounds rev 12 tower speakers, 1 left and 1 right, powered by ONE of the SALT 200.4 amplifiers, each speaker gets one bridged channel at 4 ohm Tower pair 2 - 2 Wet sounds rev 12 tower speakers, 1 left and 1 right, powered by ONE of the SALT 200.4 amplifiers, each speaker gets one bridged channel at 4 ohm Subs Sub box - 2 DC Audio XL elite 12's, (dual 2 ohm), box built to 34 hz, each wired to a SALT 3k at 1 ohm, amplifiers in slave mode, controlled by sub rca pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to my space that amps will be going, it’s easier for me to fit 2 salt 3’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
