Do the 08s have the same mounting board as the 07s? This is a pic of my 07.

If its like this simply unscrew amp from board and disconnect wires. You will have to do some rewiring if you relocate the factory amp since they trim most speaker wires to leave no extra.

The 08's do not have a head unit,,they just have the black box and one factory amp but the black box has no inputs for another amp.

I know that alot of Amps out there have an RCA output on them for adding additional amps. If the one in the boat has it you can add another amp off that. If it doesn't, you could purchase an amp that does have it and piggyback the stock amp that way. Or maybe someone who actually has the boat can chime in.

The black box is supposed to have front rear and sub preouts, if he is using all three you will have to split one or run an eq that can give your more preouts.

The pre-outs are on pigtails. The sub is in on the left along with the aux and USB inputs. The front and rear are on the right along with the big white plug. They are probably tucked into the hole in the amp board. That is how mine was. If you don't have a manual I have a PDF version I can email you.
