Boat System Reno

[TheButcher78]

New to this platform and looking for some love. So my experience is pretty limited for car/boat audio install. I've ran speaker home runs to amps, bridging channels for subs, HU installs & amp installs. I know absolutely nothing about the different grade of amps, matching equipment and running speakers in series/parallel. Well, my crew and I are in need of a new system for my wakeboarding boat and I have the following items below. Any insight on the best way to install what I have or what I need for an efficient and clear system would be greatly appreciated. Not trying to win any contests, but we do like good tunes on the water. Looking forward to hearing from ya. Thanks in advance.

Independent DEKA deep cycle battery for the system

Kenwood HU with Blue Jeans RCAs to amps

Kicker Amp ZX350.4 / running 4 Infinity 612M speaker / & possibly the 4 Infinity 9612M as well or adding an amp here instead

MTX Thunder 342 bridged 340watts @ 4 ohms / running 12" MTX Thunder 7500

All speaker wire is tinned 12 gauge

glad you found help.

you should consider full-range class D amps, and ideally one 5 channel amp like the Massive Audio NX5 for more efficiency and a compact package (since boats don't have a ton of room for multiple amps). hopefully the answers you found told you the same thing.

i've done several boat systems and without pictures of your specific boat, i don't see how anyone can recommend speaker locations/quantities.

I did get similar advice on the amp. I have a V drive boat with wrap around seating and there is ample room under my observer seat for 3 amps. Going with PPI class D amps and db Polk speakers. Thanks
