Here's what I've cobbled together after a night scrounging the internet:
Head unit: Alpine CDA-9885 $233.00
Sirius: Sirius Connect SIR-ALP1 $89.99
Speakers: JL Audio M650 CCXW $380.00 ( 2 pair-local shop after tax)
Opinions?

Looked at the numbers and seems you, as usual, are correct in your observation.....the 475 has louder, cleaner output than the Alpine unit. Did you have the M475? How complicated to operate?
btw- ended up buying the JL Audio's today.....figured a legit purchase at about $190 a pair was too good to pass on.

I didn't have the M475, but it is the head unit I'm going to use when I do my stereo in a few months. I had basically the same, but an older model that I installed in my last boat. It didn't have as many options since the sirus and ipod wasn't as popular. It was very simple to use. Originally, I had it installed w/o an amp and just 4 Babb 6x9's. It sounded as good as many stereo's that had amps. I wanted louder so I installed a 4x65 watt rms RF amp and it most people couldn't believe I didn't have a sub hidden somewhere.
That is a very good price for the JL's.

Back to the M475....I may go with that, Griff. A sub and amps just aren't in the budget right now, so I need a unit that will push good, clean sound at volume. Thanks for the help!

How do you like the 5 1/4's??????
I think I'm going to get (2) 10's, and either (2) 6x9's and (4) 5 1/4's or (2) 10's, (4) 6x9's and (2) 5 1/4's. Kind of depends on where I decide to mount them.
