I’ve been here my whole life, and if i can’t do it, it leaves town. And that’s for everything. In no specific order Speed of Sound, Ron’s or Wired for Sound all in Havasu.
What are you looking to do, I’m always done for a side job.

What are you looking to do? You may want to throw a budget out there because those shops can spend $10,000 or more really quickly. Stereo is about the easiest thing to do on a boat and if you have a little extra time, it can be fun.

Man, I would just start ordering the speakers, amps and head unit and we can walk you through the process. If the wire is still good, it would be very easy. If the wire needs to be replaced, it's still not that bad. I've been bummed every time I had someone else do a stereo for me. They sell you on big dreams and then when you pick it up, it's not even tuned properly.

Are you just replacing the stereo itself or everything? Its pretty easy to do yourself if you are just replacing existing components with similar ones.

I recommend the Kenwood Excelon or a decent Alpine. If you want to be cheap, I have bought the Alpine 73BT for a couple projects and they work fine. I literally bought one for $50 that was new on Ebay and another from Facebook Marketplace for like $70. They come up for sale everywhere. You can change one out in a boat in about 15 minutes.

I’d go Fusion for the simplicity and fact their app makes that you never have to go back in boat while beached.

I called them they can't even look at it till may the mobile 928 guy is going to take care of it thanks everyone
Best of luck Chris. I went in and had a conversation off season and willing to shell out the $$$ with desire to change out and make a nice system. Had a few ideas as I didn’t want to just change speakers and head unit. Wanted amps and controls. No lights just a solid system not really worried about the price tag. I came away with such a deflated feeling. I hope that you find the right shop/guy that can make your vision come through. I hope that we are able to connect this year with you and Debbie. 👍

Head unit is a cake walk. I’d still suggest Fusion, if that mobile guy flakes can swing it by my place in Snort Mohave and we can get it done in no time.
X2. My situation is a little different. I want everything new and improved. 👍
