Just wondered where to fit a radio/cd player and speakers on the Phoenix? Any suggestions and photos?
I ordered the Sonic Hub from Lowrance and it connects into the HDS network and can be controlled through both units. It comes with two 6.5" speakers and you can plug your Apple device or any other mp3 player into it. It also has Sirius Satellite radio and weather "radar."
If you use an Apple device it docks into a waterproof station that Phoenix will mount where your right elbow would go if you're driving the boat. They mount one of the speakers under the driver's console to the left of the Hot Foot. The other is mounded just above the passengers left elbow rest.
Have mounted JVC units in the driver side rod locker either in a bulk head at the back of the locker or mounted to the bottom of the lid. The driver side speaker mounts in the front of the foot box, the pass side speaker mounts on the interior wall either above or below the rod ramp locker.
The Sonic Hub looks like a great idea - info and video on Lowrance web site.
Does HB have any thing like this? Or does any one know if they have some thing in the making?
It looks like they are part of the way there: http://store.humminbird.com/products/323112/AS_WX1
If they are receiving an XM signal with this unit it would be simple for them to come up with the rest...
Here are some pics that Jeff sent from the factory when I asked a similar question:

And I was told radio installation wasn't available when I ordered my 619 last June. Looks great to me! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif
I'm sure someone "in the know" will respond, but I suspect they install the Lowrance system because it networks with all of the other electronics in the boat etc. and it's ONE system - installing a regular system would probably open a can of worms they would rather leave closed. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Wouldn't that be a PITA considering the drivers console was installed?
