Re: What are the best 6.5" Marine speakers?
Thank you for all the opinions. I ordered 4 sets of Polk Audio MM6500's. I did some checking and these sound like they are pretty nice. I will put an update on their performance once I get them. Thank you!!

for both of his speakers. I have one per speaker.
MS likes sitting on the back seat! 'Nuff said!
I just got word back from Tweeter that my MB Quart RA4200 amp was un-fixable (what the heck); so they replaced it.

Have to pass on the Subs, I need to get the marine version as they may get wet if caught in the rain. Thats what got my last one. Do you have a 500-1 Amp????

Yes, I have TWO 500/1 amps. One powering each 10" sub.

I have had them on two boats... both beneath the rear bench.
