I spoke with a marine audio installer friend a while back and he had stated that most factory amps/speakers that come with boats are detuned or dialed back a bit so your not getting the full power. He said its to protect the equipment from the user of course and cant be dialed up. As I'm looking into a new boat purchase I wonder what would be the better option to buy everything installed from the factory or build my own with generally the same equipment?
For example, I'm looking at the ZS 232 that has an option for 2-12s, 4 rev 10's and 6 8" interiors (not sure what amps). Does anybody have direct experience with this and how much of a difference is does it make?
