Would you wire this any different? I understand that everything is pretty basic but I'm not sure if the tower speakers should be wired different because they can be run 4 Ohm or 2 Ohm and the amp can squeeze out a little more power @ 2 Ohm (I don't care about stereo/mono...bridged possibly?)

PS: Before you say anything about it, I know that my sub might be a underpowered...going to try it this way and adjust if necessary.

Honestly, the RMS rating of those tower speakers and the amp in 4ohm are the same, so I would run them just how you have everything set up in that picture.

One item I have used that can make any boat system sound better for a marginal price is an eq . It splits the rca into separate front rear sub outputs that can be configured to tower cabin sub allows quick adjustment to match the music being played some music has very heavy bass added . When in the boat you adjust it one way when out of the boat a different way it gives you total flexibility and sound tuning to optimize the power and not over drive certain speakers. Also having these adjustments at your finger tips and not have to go deep into settings to make adjustments.

Hope to start upgrading mine in a week or so. I have 1 amp for the tower speakers and one for the 6 5.5s and 10 inch sub. I will bridge channels 5&6 for the sub.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yeah, I have been educating myself over the past couple days and came to that same conclusion. My shipment comes in today of all the speakers. My weekend project is set!!!
