I'm wanting to upgrade as a phased approach to determine what I think gives me the sound I'm looking for. I could just add the tower and interior slampak's and be done with it. But having never heard this setup, it may be more than I need to spend. Here is the approach Im thinking:
Phase 1:
Add JL Audio M600
Power all 6 interior Polks off this amp.
Rewire transom speakers to direct to M600
Tower tweeters direct to head unit (not sure these even really matter, but they'd get full power)
This gets me well powered to the Polk db521 and db651's
Phase 2:
Assuming I think the Polks are sufficient, but wanting some more sound outside the boat, do this:
JL Audio MX770 Tower speakers
Powered by another M600
Bridge 2 channels to each tower
Phase 3:
Add IB3 JL Audio Sub, powered by bridged channels 5/6 on amp 2.
Phase 4 (Depends on what I think about the Polks, this could be phase 2 or not at all):
Replace all interiors with JL Audio MX650
To me this feels like the most economical approach to determining what I like without really wasting too much money. The 2nd M600 amp could be considered too much, but I think a sub is going to happen, especially at only a $200 expense.
Thoughts?
