Im not getting too carried away. The boats only 22 x 7 there is not a lot of room for multiple amps etcs and I don't need to hear it 3 states over. Just need to have decent tunes when cruising.

A 5 channel keeps things simple...Alpine makes a nice one, I have one that came in my boat and it is a very clean amp. A digital amp for your subs would be more efficient but if you have 2 or more batteries does it matter?

What are the RMS ratings on your speakers and subs?

If it's not going to get "wet" then the Alpine PDX Amps are hard to beat, they are compact and reasonable to buy, especially used. JL makes AWESOME stuff, but, it's pricey.

I guess it's all relative, if you have 300-400K in a boat then dropping 10-20K on a stereo is small change, but, in a small boat like mine it would be a bit excessive.
