I am running my JL 6.5s in my cabin on the head unit power and the rest on a JL MHD 900/5. The pair in the cabin I didnt want extremely loud anyway. They sound great with just the deck power. But they really shine when you put some power behind them. I am running 2 JL 10's and two 7.7's in the bench seat enclosure without baffles and they rock and have a pair of 6.5's in the factory locations. Love the set up!!

Yea, they are not very expensive, I guess I'm just being lazy. Do you have the amp power running all the way back to the batteries, or is there somewhere easier to connect to power? Did you put the amp in the cabin and go through the cabin power switch?

Scooter B,

Don't know if that was directed to me or not but I'll chime in. My amp is located in the engine compartment next to the battery (but its a marine amp JL MHD 900/5). Had a max total of 3 feet of power/ground cable that I had to run. I ran the remote switch to turn on the amp from the head unit of course, along with the three pair of preamp signal RCAs. Those were routed to the amp down the left side and under the bench seat, across the boat and then back to the amp. If you will pm me your email address, Ill send you some pics of the install.

I am going to run two amps . I got a hell of a deal on some 2 gage wire, pretty big stuff!!!! so I guess i should not lose any power for the long stretch. I am going to run a distribution block and hope that works out. Have everything i want except the speakers . Just trying to figure out how to do it right the first time. There just arent many options for speaker locations in the cockpit....

Thanks guys. I think I'm going to keep it simple and go with 2 7.7's in the rear bench and 2 6.5's up front on a 4 channel amp and see how it sounds. I'll snap some photos if I ever can find time to get it finished.

Currently installing 2 Cvx kicker 10's, 2 6x9 kickers under the rear bench, 2 6.5 kicker componets where the fountain lights originally were & I'm running 2 amps 1000 mono for the subs & a 4 channel 500 for the rest... Also installed 2 clarion Mw1 remotes, 1 by the swim deck 1 going around my dash somewhere... Will prolly be adding some kicker 4.5's up under the fairing or on the side of the dash & glove box.

Previous owner installed garbage 8 inch bazooka 2 ways where the fountain logo goes, basically limiting Me to find another 8 inch speaker... Could only find 2 brands focal access & the bazookas again. So I'm currently having a 9 inch circle cut out of 1/8th inch steel, w/ the cutouts for the 6.5 & the tweeter inside the 9 inch circle... Then have powder coated black to match my grab handles & seat frames, hopefully it looks good & will be unique.... If anyone would like pictures when it's finished I'll try & post some up...

I had the ones under the fairing in front.. It seemed like those were all I could hear when cruising at speed.. took them out.. Now I hear the whole system...:)

Couldn't you have adjusted them to get a better balance?

jmoore: If you haven't had them done yet I could get some made up for you no problem. I have a metal shop with CNC Plasma and a full powdercoating facility, so we could cut you up something that'd look factory.

i dont mind but i dont have any pic.
