It looks like Babbs are not a speaker carried by the normal electronics store. No one knows of them. I assume the 6x9 that you guys are talking about is the 924's? This is a single cone speaker? The web site list them for $240, each.......pair?? What are compareable speakers to these to get a sound comparison?

Thanks

BTW, the Babbs have an ugly grill but are still worth it.
Dan, you were able to mount 2 at the front lower side compartments? I have to check this area for enough flat mounting space.

Chit, I would die from the sudden heat change! It just made it to the 80's this week. We are running WAY below the normal temps this year. Feels like boating season has not even began, and it's hitting the 1/2 way point already.
Why did you go with 2 different 6x9 brands in the cockpit?
Thanks

The Poly Planar 6x9's have a 1" deep magnet.........

That's all the room I had in this area..

I used them to fill in the sound near the front cockpit area.

I turned them way down, so the only really come alive when I turn it way up !!!! Forest turned me on to them and I just found them on the Internet a couple weeks ago for $99 a pair.

They work great !!!!

Forrest......

The system has surpassed my expectations.

I have installed (3) Optima batteries to handle the load.

One battery in position #1 to run the boatand two batteries, in parallel in position #2 to run the amps.

I ran 4 gauge from each amp to the set of batteries in parallel.

As my wife will tell you "I'm a pain in the ass".....I want what I want and I want it to work good.

This system rocks.......Bang-for-the-buck, I got some BANG !!!
