this is totally a do it yourself thing. i can barely change a tire and have no problems with a stereo hook up its pretty self explanatory but if you need directions they are included with your stereo and amp purchases. dont waste your money on paying someone to install. if you want to go with a wetsounds box i would seriously consider not getting any interior speakers at this point. this is my reasoning- since you are on a budget you may not be able to afford the quality interior speakers that you will be able to hear along with the wetsounds. you need to decide what is important, to hear music while riding or good quality music while hanging out in the boat. if its more important to hear music while riding go with a pro audio set up.if its more important to hear music inside the boat then get some good quality interior speakers. if you werent on a budget id say do both then you could get an eq/fader and turn down one or the other when not needed. trust me, pro audio is very loud. personally i would never put any interior speakers (other than a sub) inside of my boat b/c it would be too uncomfortable and i only use my boat for wakeboarding, no partying. you'll probably need three amps. one for interior, one for the tower, one for the subs. i always think its best to buy good quality stuff first rather than trying to get lesser quality and end up replacing peices b/c you realize they are junk, take your time and put together a good system and you'll end up wasting less money. (plus its the end of the season you'll have all winter to build something impressive) ive heard the infinity system. i wouldnt bother with it. it sounded ok but nothing like a pro audio. i think the system would be help if you coached alot, then you could talk to people as they ride, other than that i dont see much use for it. if it were me at this point id get a pro audio speaker set up, a quality amp(buy as much power as you can afford, there are great deals on ebay), and a head unit(stereo).
