Speakers on one side of boat not working

[BladeFL]

I have the stock Wet Sounds audio system in my 2020 242X. About every trip out, the 3 speakers on the left side of my boat (bow, main sitting & swim deck) stop working. Later in the day, they sometimes come back on. The tower speakers and sound bar are always working. I did check the main red/black wires behind the helm going into the Wet Sounds boxes/amps to see if there was a loose connection.

I'm not familiar yet with the system. Maybe there are loose wires in the plastic connectors.

Anyone here have experience with this issue or possible solutions?

TIA!

If all wires are secure it is most likely the amp or head unit going out. I would start by reseating all the connectors, then when it goes out I would check to see if you have any red lights on the amp or if it feels overly hot. I'm not familiar with the exact setup on your boat but I would guess those 3 speakers are on the same channel of the amp? Are the tower and sound bar on the same amp or a different one?

Sounds like the amp going into protect mode due to heat or possibly loose connections.

I have a 2024 Yamaha 252SE and these don’t come with tower speakers and I wanted to add them but can’t find the brackets to attach them to the tower. The newer Yamaha boats have them mounted on top of the tower just underneath the Bimini top.
Anyone know where to find these or know exactly how they mount?
Dealership was no help

The stock Yamaha towers speakers are WetSounds - find a dealer in your area. Otherwise JL makes brackets. Heck, anyone could make a bracket...

May or may not be helpful but what is your battery situation? I had the same exact condition, and it would come and go the past year or two. I just replaced the original group 24 batteries this season with Duracell group 27. The originals never gave me a problem, and the solar panel seemed to do a good job of keeping them topped off all summer each season, but I felt after 5 seasons I was pressing my luck. Only been out a few times so far but port and starboard have been solid. Maybe amp just wasn’t getting enough juice from the old batteries. ??‍
