Default Working on priorities (stereo upgrades)

What have you all done to your BT to make some real thundering sound. I am looking for ideas on what has been done to get concert sound. Types of speakers, quality sound, speaker and amp location and loud. Money, not so much a problem. Just keep it realistic. 125-150 db. Here is a pic from my last boat.

The 05 46 at PBC has a pretty good setup in it

endeavor1,
I actually had this one on my list to go look at until the 2008 popped up.
Thanks

FYI.... Your boat is an EC model "Extended Cockpit". Mine is a SC and flat decks are GTs

I replaced the 8 pioneer speakers with JL M880 with sorts grills and blue LED rings. Upgraded all 4 amps to push them to the limits. It's absolutely kills it, loud and the windshield will rattle like and old CRV hatchback with a 15" in it! I just ordered 4 10" JL subs to match. The ones in it sound okay, but these will sound a bit better and look cool.

Gotta pay on this site

Go to serious offshore or powerboat nation and post. Much more friendly to us BT guys. Good meeting you at the shootout! Wedging the 52/54 Searay in that line was nothing short of bad ass along with the drinks

Hey Chris, yes that was a great day!
I'll buck up and pay. Adding 4 more JL 8.8
This will be (12) JL M8.8 coaxil and (4) JL M10" subs
All being pushed 250W @ 4 ohm
Blue LED speaker rings around them all...
I'll post pics once they are all in next week.

John is wrapping up. I rebuilt the 575 sci, flat-top pistons, roller cam and whipple kit. Had him install BMAX drives and a ton of other ancillary stuff.

Should be pretty cool when done. I'm shipping it to Miami next month for the Key West poker run.
