Perfect , I’ll do some shopping now. Thanks Ripler
Awesome thanks for the help! I’ll check it out
That’s pretty cheap! I’m 7k + into mine and probably sticking another 2 in the spring.
Correct, those are the two top brands for sound quality and volume.
Remember that tower speakers are designed to get sound out the back of the boat to the skier or boarder, they're not really intended to put sound into the cockpit of the boat, although they do put some sound in the boat due to proximity, and the farther away you are from the speaker the less bass output you notice due to how low frequencies spread out in an open area. Ever been to an outdoor concert and you're standing several hundred feet away and all you get is mids and highs?
Just remember that typical flooded batteries will NOT accept anywhere near 190a of current to charge fast - they will only accept a specific rate controlled by the charging circuit designed by the manufacturer. Same goes for a car/truck, the alternator can output a rated current, but the battery circuit only allows a max current to charge the battery and reduces as the battery is charged. Your vehicle doesn't charge super fast, it just doesn't use much juice to start the vehicle so it's "fully charged" in 10mins of running the engine, just like starter batteries in boats, they don't take long to recharge. But house batteries can run down much lower and take longer to charge, but they can't charge at very high rates without massive gassing which leads to damage of the cells. Unless your boat comes with a set of high current batteries and charging circuit, you won't get super fast charging rates. You might get faster charge rates than jet boats, but not a massive difference.
Sounds like you've done it right, and will soon upgrade.
Would like to end better than decent sound and a little less then deafening.Correct, those are the two top brands for sound quality and volume.

Price depends on your needs/wants...you can spend a few hundred and get decent sound, or a few thousand if you want to go deaf early.
