Polk amps

[Kevin brown]

I just purchased a 2017 242x e series , I thought it came with two 500 watt amps but after reviewing papers I have a 4 channel and a 5 channel amp. The X has 10 channels if math is correct , anyone who has this boat have the same amps . The boat is at the lake where is keep it a couple hours away , it will be interesting to see how they have it wired. I notice the middle speakers didn't seem that loud . Any help,would be appreciated.

My 2017 242x e series has two amps (that I can see in the battery compartment):
PA D5000.5 - 5 Channel
PA D4000.4 - 4 Channel

The D5000.5 is wired to the FRONT zone (Wetsounds Soundbar, Sub and 4 boat speakers)
The D400.4 is wired to the REAR zone (Tower Cans, Swim Platform Speakers)

The Wetsounds Stealth 10 Soundbar appears to be underpowered. Let me know what you have learned.

That seems well underpowered. I would want 100w x 2 for the Soundbar, 200w x 1 for sub, and 75w x 4 min for boat speakers. 4 speakers on the rear zone sounds reasonable @125wx4.

I'd swap the PA D4000.4 channels power the swim deck to powering the soundbar, and swap the channels powering the Soundbar on the PA D5000.5 to the swimdeck. You may have difficulty fading, but everything will be powered properly...
