Hey guys, just a few little questions I wanted to ask some of ya'll that know a lot more about stereos/speakers than myself. I have an old Cobalt I/O and I simply wanted to upgrade the existing stereo and speakers, while possibly leaving room for improvement if I can ever come up with the money for a tower/tower speaker system. The boat came with just an Am/FM Cassette with two 6.5" speakers in the back on the engine cover and 2 box-like (maybe component?) speakers under both the driver and passenger seats. Now, only 1 of the component speakers work, and I'd like to just replace everything for as cheaply as possible. How does this sound? I was thinking about getting some of those Polk DB650 6.5" 2-way speakers (180w peak power, 60w RMS, $59/pair)for the back on the engine cover. Then to replace the front components, I thought maybe about getting two 6"x9" speakers in a box-enclosure and mounting them up there. Then just get a 200w or so CD Receiver to replace the AM/FM. How would that sound?? Sadly, I know next to nothing about all this audio stuff. Tell me, would I need an amplifier for this setup, or would the CD receiver be sufficient to make this sound good? Also, can I just directly wire this system to my battery, as is my existing AM/FM? Thanks for any help guys! p.s. This is a weird question, but maybe ya'll would have a solution. Those rear 6.5" speakers that mount on my engine cover get the wires torn out of them a lot when the engine cover is entirely removed to work on the engine. Is there any sort of quick-disconnect harness I could rig up in order to disconnect the wires from those speakers when I need to remove the engine cover?? Really looking for a solution...
