Upgrade speakers?

[acr7673]

Hi all,

Been loving my ski the last year. My only complaint is that above 40-50mph you really can't hear the speakers at all.
Just wondering if there is any decent replacement for the stock speakers? Ideally twice as loud if doable. And I'd prefer if it didn't require a crazy amount of work.
Not that I'll be doing it but hopefully just a similar size one to the stock one that I can get a professional to swap out for me. Thank you!

Hi,

I have the same issue- can't hear factory sound above 50 mph. Did a lot of research (way too much) and think I am going with 6.5" Rockford Fossgate Marine M2's (trying to fit the 8") or the JL Audio 7.7" if I can fit. Also upgrading factory amp to a Rockford marine 4 Channel 400 amp (unsure which model).

Plan to bridge the (4) channels to send 200 watts per channel to each speaker.

Pretty sure amp upgrade is necessary for increased volume. Factory system is 100 watts (50 watts per channel).

From everything I read, the higher the speaker's db/spl rating combined with the higher the watts from amp, the louder the volume.

Also from from what I read, JL is the best more balanced sound. However, I don't believe you can benefit from that doing 75 mph but only sitting still or lower speeds. For that reason, since the Rockfords can handle more watts and the db is higher (93 vs 90 on JL's) I decided on the Rockfords. (I also looked at Memphis, Wet Sounds, and Kicker).
