I want to add tower speakers this summer, but I don't want to get the wrong ones or add an Amp that can't handle them. I Need Help! <BR> <BR>I'm looking for a two speaker set up that I can hear clearly behind the boat @ 80 feet. I use my boat exclusively in salt, so the system needs to be simple and durable. <BR> <BR>What is the best speaker/amp set-up to go for? I know that there have been several new products that have came out, so I'm looking for up-to-date reviews and suggestions. <BR> <BR>Thanks!

For only two spks to be clear at 80 ft the only thing that comes to mind is the wetsounds. I personally have not played with them yet, but some friends in the industry have had rave reviews about them. Recomondation for amp would be a Memphis Marine amp, as this will stand up to the corosion, and give you ample power to run them.

I run two Wetsounds Pro 80's with a rockford fosgate 450.4 bridged into two channels (225W RMS). <BR> <BR>You're looking at around ~849 for speakers and I think my amp was ~ 300 bucks from best buy. <BR> <BR>I think it sounds pretty hot. I know that sounds like a lot for stereo equipment, but in the "boating" stereo world, that's a pretty cheap setup. <BR> <BR>There are hundreds of these posts on the board so just look them over and make the best choice for you and your budget. I know the search function sucks on wakeworld sometimes - so I figured i'd be nice and answer then refer you to the search! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Yea, I tried a search already and it doesn't pull anything up. Is there something wrong with it right now? <BR> <BR>Also, I know there are some new products out there, like the wetsounds. This is why I figured I would start a new tread. <BR> <BR>Thanks for your feedback!

When searching on here, always put the quotes "" around it - that's the only way I can get that janky thing to work <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>heh.

I agree with Clayton, I also have a pair of Pro80s powered by a Zapco 360.4 bridged into 2 channels(180rms @4ohms) I think Zapco underrates there stuff.These things are "LOUD AND CLEAR" at 80+ft back.Go to Wetsounds.com and check them out,the customer service is great.
