    Centurion Avalanche C4
  1. My 08' Avalanche that I just bought was reading 60 or so hours last week. Went for about an hour ride today and now the meter is reading 19.9 hours. All I did in the boat today was cut on the perfect pass and flooded the tanks to make sure everything was working properly for the weekend. Any ideas on why this would happen? I beleive these gauges are made by Faria but I couldn't find a thing on their site. If anyone could explain the "dE" letters before the hours that would be good too.
  2. Upgrading Audio Equipment

    Another thing I forgot to add in the original post is eventually doing some kind of custom install for speakers in the bow. I was a little surprised at the fact they didn't have them in the front for my model. I would cut holes in the vinyl, and place them in the inner hull but unfortunately there is no inner hull! Just seat covering material! Anyone have any insight on a custom install up front on my model? (08' Avalanche C4)
  3. Upgrading Audio Equipment

    I appreciate the insight. Exile was just a brand I ran across, and when looking at the features it just seemed that they had most if not all of some of the same ones. Materials may be different, and as I said before I always thought Wetsounds was the cream of the crop. Just trying to save some cash if I can get good quality.
  4. Upgrading Audio Equipment

    I'm gonna give this one a shot and see what the opinions I receive are. This is my first post so bear with me. I'm sure I am beating a dead horse with this kind of question. My Story: My family just bought an 08' Avalanche C4 and of course everything was stock. It has the advanced package with the sideswipe exhaust and triple ballast tanks. The motor only had 51 hours and it was a good fit for what we were looking for. Most of my experience with wake boats originally was with an 08' Mastercaft X2 that I drive for my neighbors and there guests and I tend to compare a lot of things to that boat since it was the first wake boat I used. Apples and Oranges between the two but sometimes it slips up when I'm relating what I have used with what we bought/want. The objective: I plan on upgrading all the interior speakers and adding a subwoofer. At some point I will add new tower speakers but that will most like will take place later. I have done a ton of research on different brands and have looked at specifications for days as well as differences in each brand and make/model. I've narrowed my search down to Wetsounds and Exile Audio. I have heard that these guys are the Ford vs. Chevy as far as the marine speakers go, but that is only hearsay. The main attraction to Exile is that I am getting the same amount of quality as wet sounds offers (if not better) for a much better price. I'm trying to keep it around $2000 or less, and I feel like with the exile brand I should be able to stay in that price range. Other brands I have looked at are JL, Polk, Roswell, Rockford Fosgate, etc. I have always been pretty sold on wetsounds being the cream of the crop and I am trying to make the most informed decision so I don't end up making the wrong decision. In addition to the spekears, I know I'll have to get all the wiring packages and amps, and I intend to eventually install either a Wetsounds or Exile equalizer in the cockpit. My question: Is exile really all it is cracked up to be? I.E. Sound quality, customer service, reliability. How are the amps? If you have either of these brands what do you see as the pros and cons? Have any idea of a dealer for exile in North Carolina? If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! If I'm out of line for even posting these questions I apologize. I know these forum things can get pretty touchy if you continue to cover a topic multiple times in the same section. I appreciate the help!
