@redthumper9 mentioned Yamaha uses the Recon line from the "let's talk about Wetsounds" thread. Not sure of the size yet either - could be 5" or 6.5" - dealer wasn't certain without going to measure them. If someone knows the size of the stock speakers from the SX/AR 195 models, they would be the same size as it's the same hull and deck.
Adding an amp shouldn't be too hard near the battery area and access the Fusion at the stern.
So our boat has arrived. Will still be a week or more before we take delivery, but here are pics the dealer sent me as teasers. Sadly I see no bow door, or joystick. However, we are in love.
Thats awesome man congrats. (2019 AR195 Here) First thing you will want to do is replaced that bow roller with a [HASH=699]#ULT[/HASH]-4 Stoltz. The stock roller is too hard and will dmg the boat (i did mine before i drove off from the dealer). Second, replace the rear trailer lights and lightbar with LED based ones. Second time in water, one of mine burned out. Shorlandr has 1.5million of them from china with bulbs from 1997 apparently. That has to be the only reason they are not LED from the factory, lol. And last but not least, enjoy that beauty!!

What size speakers come stock on the 195S. I have seen posts online that suggest both 5" and 6.5" speakers. I am thinking they are 6.5", but would like confirmation. Thanks

That's kind of lame that they skimped down to a 5" speaker. The older models at least came with 6.5"ers that had enough kick to them that you could get by without a sub.

You'll be seriously surprised with wetsounds capability. The recon 5s will easily out do the Polk or Marine Audio 6.5" speakers in most other Yamaha boats. Upgrading to the Revo 6.5" speakers for sure would be nice, but this is yamaha. Budget minded.
I pushed 50-65 rms watts to my stock recon 5s on the 195S. It's incredible loud. Does it have bass to replace a sub.... No. It does add more mid bass though. In my case though full sound system was the plan before buying the boat. So I wasn't worried. I was happy I didn't have to upgrade stock speakers though to the Revo series. No need imo. May later though.
