My 2014 AR240 still has the original CMD8 (no bluetooth) and the Polk 651's I installed in 2014. Speakers getting old, so reading forums it seems
the Polk 652's would be equivalent replacement, but I want a new receiver, what would be my next grade up that has bluetooth and can work with the rear deck Clarion unit?

Also another speaker option I've read here is the 4 kickers on Amazon (link below), anyone know how do they compare to the Polks?

I had polks in my ar230. They only lasted one season in salt water. They sounded good but didn’t have much bass. The kickers I have had for 4 years and have a very good all around sound for the money
