Bluetooth Amplifier setup

Jerj7907 · 04-21-2013, 12:36 PM

Started this project want tunes on my cart but did not want a traditional radio and lets face it those cans people mount on the sides of carts are hideous. My build stats with a bluetooth cobtrol model # SABTS made by memphis car audio. I split this from 2 channels to 4 and used a generic, cheap, 4 channel amplifier that powers 4 6.5" Sony component speakers. There are 2 speakers in each box mounted between the front and back cushions. This system is so loud when turned all the way up it makes my ears hurt. If you have questions please ask. Also the buttons on the controler are to change tracks, volume control, and a play/pause button. So turn on bluetooth controller and can put phone back in pocket.

Got any pics?

Tried to do this on phone but could not upload pics. Got pics on computer now so here we go. Sorry was trying a shortcut that was not short. This is the Memphis Audio controller I mentioned. Since my cart is white I painted the trim piece white it came black. The controller was designed for motorcycles so it can be exposed to weather also. This unit does allow for me to stream live music over internet but does not make hands free calls. When I receive a call music stops and I have to answer phone normally, wish it was a hands free unit for calls as well. I'm sure 1 will be available soon that is.

Here is my speaker box that I built. Like I said before 2 boxes with 2 speakers in each box. I used truck bedliner to waterproof boxes. The amplifier is a 45 x 4 watt and is under the seat beside dc inverter. Just an FYI it cost me about $300. for this project. The 4th picture is with the back seat cushion removed and the last picture is from the drivers seat after I was finished. Just to give you an idea. This brings my total investment in cart upwards of $8500. I am addicted I admit it.

Nice job looks great , speakers are hidden perfect , hope you don't mind Im going to use your idea.

I think it is a great compromise. Dash is left alone so I still have my storage. I was thinking about a top mount but was worried I might want to add extended foof someday and then I would have to remake a top. I highly recommend this setup. And those marine grade cans people mount to the post look horrible, in my opinion.

How did you split from 2 to 4 channels?

I have the same amp and would like to add 2 more speakers in the boat.

Just bought 2 RC splitters. My amp was already 4 channels. If you have a 2 channel amp it can be wired to run 4 speakers. I can explain and draw something up if you want me to.

Hideous? Find my pair of yamaha speakers on my latest cart. They are in plain site also. Sound is amazing.

Yours turned out pretty good also.
