20180313_115817.jpg So, my current setup (minus the headunit) consists of: 1 JBL MA6004 amp and a Kenwood M3001 subwoofer amp. 2 Kenwood KFC-2053MRW 8" coaxials, 2 Kenwood KFC-1653MRW 6.5 coaxials, and 1 Rockford Fosgate RM110D2 10"Sub running at 2 ohms.

My new plan is to replace the JBL with a Rockford Fosgate M600-4D and replacing the remaining 6.5's for 8". Also, adding a Kenwood KAC-M3004 amp and moving 2 of the 6.5's to the bow. I'm also going to try and make up something to get a couple 6.5's on the rear, since I don't have a tower to hang speakers on.

MY WIFE IS GONNA HATE ME!! LOL!!!

Look forward to the build.... do you have a picture of your swim platform where you want to mount the speakers?

Still trying to figure that out. 6.5's are a bit big for back there. I'v got a couple ideas I'll keep you posted.

Those look great @Marvin willis. I think that may be what I go with. That size would work perfect.

For being such an inexpensive speaker, how do they sound? Do you have an amp connected to them?

Well, after thinking about it for a little while. Here's what I decided to go with. They are 5.25" Boss Audio mr52w's. I realize they may not be as high quality speakers as most of you would go for, but they will work with my budget system and will get me a little sound out back. Thanks for the idea @Marvin willis.
I really wish I could have made the Kenwood 6.5" speakers that I already have work, but there just isn't enough room for them back there.
