In the world of luxury boating, the 2006 Meridian 391 stands as a testament to elegance and innovation. However, for those seeking an unparalleled audio and navigation experience, then keep reading. In this blog post, we’ll get into the custom installation work performed by Epic Audio, highlighting key features such as Wet Sounds Revo LED speakers, custom subwoofer enclosures, Arc Audio amplifiers, Fusion Marine Bluetooth stereo, GARMIN technology, and the stunning LED speaker lighting that transforms both the atmosphere and functionality of this exceptional vessel.

Wet Sounds Revo LED Speakers:

At the heart of the audio upgrade are the Wet Sounds Revo LED speakers. Engineered for marine environments, these speakers combine cutting-edge audio technology with vibrant LED lighting. Epic Audio seamlessly integrated these speakers into the Meridian 391, delivering an immersive audio experience that complements the vessel’s luxurious design.

Custom Subwoofer Enclosures:

To enhance the bass response and overall audio quality, Epic Audio crafted custom subwoofer enclosures. These enclosures are not only acoustically optimized but also designed to seamlessly blend with the boat’s interior, ensuring a sleek and cohesive look. The result is a deep, rich bass that resonates throughout the vessel, elevating the on-board entertainment experience to new heights.

Arc Audio Amplifiers:

Powering the audio system are Arc Audio amplifiers, renowned for their precision and clarity. Epic Audio strategically selected and installed these amplifiers to deliver optimal performance, ensuring every note and beat is reproduced with unmatched fidelity. The Meridian 391 becomes a floating concert venue, allowing passengers to enjoy music with unparalleled clarity, even on the open seas.

Fusion Marine (now owned by Garmin) Bluetooth Stereo:

For convenient and seamless control of the audio system, Epic Audio integrated a Fusion Marine Bluetooth stereo with a remote at the helm. This not only provides easy access to music and audio settings but also allows passengers to tailor their audio experience without leaving their seat. It’s the perfect blend of functionality and luxury for a modern boating lifestyle.

GARMIN Navigation and Technology:

The integration of GARMIN technology takes the Meridian 391 to the next level of navigation and safety. A 12-inch GPS chart plotter ensures precise navigation, while the GARMIN Fantom radar provides advanced weather tracking. The inclusion of a GARMIN high-definition IP engine camera and backup camera enhances situational awareness, making every voyage safer and more enjoyable.

Full Color LED Speaker Lighting:

Epic Audio didn’t stop at audio quality; they also elevated the ambiance with full-color LED speaker lighting. This customizable lighting solution not only adds a visual spectacle to the boat but also enhances safety by providing soft, ambient lighting during nighttime cruises.

Master Stateroom Garmin GPS:

Ensuring that every corner of the Meridian 391 is equipped with cutting-edge technology, Epic Audio installed a Garmin GPS in the master stateroom. This thoughtful addition ensures that passengers can enjoy the same level of navigation and connectivity in the comfort of their private space.

Epic Audio’s custom installation on the Meridian 391 is a testament to their commitment to delivering a superior audio and navigation experience. From the powerful Wet Sounds Revo LED speakers to the precision of Arc Audio amplifiers and the advanced GARMIN technology, every aspect of this installation is designed to elevate the seascape. The Meridian 391 is not just a boat; it’s a floating masterpiece of audio and technology, offering a journey that transcends the ordinary and redefines luxury on the water.

Epic Marine Audio: Why Chartplotters are Essential for Boating

Epic Audio _ Chartplotters

Picture this: You’re out on the open water, the sun shining down, a gentle breeze in your hair, and your favorite tunes playing in the background. You’re living the dream of every boating enthusiast. But what’s the key to making this experience truly epic? It’s not just about the music; it’s about navigation and safety as well. In this blog post, we’ll explore why chartplotters are essential for boating, and how they can enhance your marine audio experience.

Navigation Precision

One of the primary functions of a chartplotter is to provide precise navigation information. Whether you’re cruising along the coast or venturing into deeper waters, knowing your exact location, depth, and the location of potential hazards is crucial for a safe and enjoyable boating experience.

Chartplotters use GPS technology to pinpoint your boat’s location on electronic charts, making it easy to plan routes, avoid shallow waters, and steer clear of dangerous obstacles. This precision is not only a matter of convenience but also a matter of safety.

Enhanced Audio Integration

Modern chartplotters have evolved to offer more than just navigation assistance. Many models now come equipped with advanced audio integration features that allow you to control your marine audio system directly from the chartplotter interface. This means you can change tracks, adjust volume, and even select playlists without taking your eyes off the navigation screen.

Imagine seamlessly switching between your favorite songs and monitoring your course with a simple touch on the chartplotter. It not only enhances the overall boating experience but also ensures you stay focused on the most important task at hand: safe navigation.

Real-time Weather Updates

Weather conditions can change rapidly out on the water, and having up-to-date information is crucial for making informed decisions. Many chartplotters offer real-time weather updates, which can include wind speed, wave height, temperature, and precipitation forecasts.

Having access to this information directly on your chartplotter screen can help you plan your route to avoid storms, heavy rain, or strong winds. It adds another layer of safety to your boating adventures, ensuring that you’re always prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

Waypoint Tracking and Route Planning

Chartplotters allow you to mark waypoints and plan routes with ease. Whether you want to revisit a favorite fishing spot or chart a course to a distant island, these devices make it simple to set up and follow your desired path.

Furthermore, chartplotters can calculate estimated arrival times, taking into account factors like current speed and wind conditions. This level of planning and tracking capability not only enhances your overall boating experience but also ensures you’re making the most of your time on the water.

Safety Features

In addition to navigation and audio integration, chartplotters often come with safety features like AIS (Automatic Identification System) integration, which allows you to see and be seen by other vessels in the area. This promotes safer navigation and helps prevent collisions, especially in busy waterways.

For any boating enthusiast looking to make their marine audio experience truly epic, a chartplotter is an essential tool. These devices offer precise navigation, seamless audio integration, real-time weather updates, and safety features that enhance both the enjoyment and safety of your boating adventures. So, before you set sail on your next journey, make sure to equip your boat with a reliable chartplotter—it’s the key to an unforgettable and safe experience on the water.
