Getting new AR210 wetsounds

[Chief fan]

Looking for advice on wanting to get wetsounds rev 8 for tower speakers in white. I noticed many model numbers of wetsounds with and without swivel mounts? What model number of wetsounds should i get? i have a JL marine 600/6 amp. Thanks for the help

Depends what you want. There's plenty of threads here already on speaker/sound upgrades...have a browse through them and then narrow down your needs.

I am replacing the entire sound system on my AR210 this week. I am getting recon 8” speakers for the tower but the cans are made by another company. Just wanted to throw that out there as a possible option. It might save a little money doing it that way too.

Big volume/power handling difference between Recons and Revs though.

yeah my big decision is Icon 8 or Rev 8 tower speakers? I have had the icon and liked the sound in the past and never had battery draw issues sitting hours listening to music. My other big question is what is the diameter of the tower? one speaker says up to 1 7/8 and other bracket says up to 3 inch? which one should i get?

Got the boat back on Friday. Got 6 Wetsounds Recon 6.5” for the cabin and 8” Recon for the tower. The installers used their own cans for the towers. Also got a new fusion head unit and one 10” inch Wetsounds sub. Sounds super fantastic.

Looks good

Which fusion headunit is that?

 

[Robbieg]

Fusion MS-RA210

Was it a direct replacement from the infinity prv headunit or did you have to make the hole bigger?

I’m not 100% sure. Had it professionally installed but I believe there was some cutting needed.

do you like the new Fusion head unit better? it definitely looks sleek!

100% better. I like having a volume dial rather than buttons. Plus, I like having a two zone control (towers and cockpit) and a wireless transom remote. It's a solid stereo.

What did that end up running you, if you don't mind? I have the same boat and want to upgrade the sound system. PM is fine too. Thanks!

Was there a plate put in around it? Could you send a up close photo and possible a picture on the back side? I have a 2020 and love this look and want to order it and do this swap as well as a swim platform control. Did you do that as well?

Reviving this thread…im curious about the backplate used to install the fusion..it looks very good!
