First of all THANKS to RFoster130 & Darthspeed for all of there pic's and info
i have doen plenty of systems in trucks cars ect... but this was my frist install in a boat.
i have a 2001 speedster that had a wetsounds "POS" stereo in it that just DID NOT cut it for me. So the first thing i did was upgrade the stereo. i went with a Kenwood KMR-700U marine head unit (no cd just digital media and radio) the front face plate flips down and you can plug in and store your ipod in a hidden carpartment behind it also keeps it safe from the water.
for an amp i went with a rockford fosgate p300-2, and 4 M2M8 rockford speakers. I was going to go with Kicker but ended up with the fosgate stuff the speakers just came out this year and i figured i would give them a try and WOW i am glad i did!
These things are awesome !!!! i was planning on adding a sub later but they put out plenty of low end sound and the highs and mids are right on also i would recomend them to anyone who is looking for speakers. i have a blue top for now and i plan on adding another one with the 1-2-all switch in a few weeks... i mounted the headunit in the faftory location but who ever put in the stereo before me hacked the mounting hole so i had to fab a mounting plate the amp is under the cooler ...
check out my pic's let me know what you think :cheers:
