Re: Adding Extra Speakers and Subs
All that extra power helps attack the highs and lows, makes it so much more real.
Don't skimp on speakers either.
Personally am a fan of Klipsch RP bookshelf for interior if you have room for them.
For exterior/bridge, I've been using the old MB Quart NKA series. Whenever a NOS pair hit ebay I buy em. They don't make them anymore. Made in Germany.
In both cases,the sound does not dribble out, it's punched out. Live recordings are especially realistic.
Two high end subs will really bring things alive.

Re: Adding Extra Speakers and Subs
a KMC10 head unit, 4 of the 43km series speakers (get the good ones, they sell one or two cheaper versions) a 10" sub (again get the top model) and a kxm 800.5 amp.
It is very loud if you want it and always very clear. Sounds great even at cruising speeds.
But it will drop a battery pretty quick if turned up and not charging.

Re: Adding Extra Speakers and Subs
I have always wired my boats stereos this way, so when you get to your destination after a 4 or more hour run, your house batteries aren’t dead when you drop anchor. With open exhaust on our 3607 we run our stereo loud while cruising!
