My boat has been at the dealers for the last 2 months due to us being in lockdown. Whilst it was there, I was fortunate that the dealer allowed other installers to work on my boat. The audio upgrade was one of these things.
The original tower cans were replaced with 2 sets of Rev 10's, I had a Syn DX6 amp from my old boat (not the best fit, I know) so I had this installed to power them. The install was done by a professional marine audio installer, and he knows his stuff. From all reports, the system was really loud and sounded great. On a side note, a few weeks later the dealer installed a transom remote for me. I had not seen or heard the boat since I dropped it off for its service 2 months ago. My dealer has run out of room and asked me if I could pick up the boat. Anyway, after picking it up and dragging it 3 hours to my cabin, I took the cover off and fired up the stereo and something has gone wrong. It simply is not loud, not just a little bit less than standard, but really not loud at all. At first I thought there was an issue with just the tower, as that was the only part that was worked on, but after I turned up all zones to 100% i realized it was the whole system. Previously, I used to have the sub zone at about 50% because the bin flap rattled really bad. Now it didn't move when at 100%. Another thing that was done was the screen was updated to the latest software, but this was done prior to the stereo upgrade. I have spoken to the audio guy, and without looking at it, he can't think what could be wrong. The problem is, my boat is 3 hours away and we are still not allowed to travel there. I have tried changing profiles and checked that the auto volume is off. Both batteries are at 13.2 volts. I've turned the battery switch off and hooked up the charger overnight. Nothing has made any difference. Sorry for the long winded story, but I'm just trying to get all the information out there. I know how deep the knowledge base is on this forum and I'm hoping someone has seen this issue before. Help!! BTW I have the dual screen premium audio package.
