Last year I ran the following -

4 - Pro 80's powered by Mmatts 4x150
1 - 12" audioque sub powered by Mmatts 1400 watt D class
4 - kicker cabin speakers powered by ppi 4 channel

I also used an audiocontrol four.1 to control tower, cabin, and sub volume independantly. I used a pair of kinetic batteries, knukonceptz RCA cables and wire. I also just used my stock sony HU. The system was very reliable. The only time I had problems was when I got caught in two torrential downpours at Raystown, and it worked fine once the audiocontrol linedriver/eq dried out. This year I am not sure what I am doing, maybe I'll concentrate on wakeboarding.

Are you thinking of coming to the dark side and join the Tige family?

Tim at wetsound's is the one that recommended the Mmatts amps if you are wondering. They have incredible power with a small footprint/packaging. For example my sub amp is no bigger than your 250/1, yet it pounds.

Oh yeah, you will deff want 1 amp for the tower and 1 for the cabins. If you go with the Kicker ZX700.5 (5chnl) for the cabins and sub, then you wont need a 3rd amp.

Will that have enough for the six cabins and sub?

Nice!...how about power usage, heat, and THD?

No, I was just lurking and saw someone close by and just being friendly. Plus, T* is a real good friend. I almost bought an RZ2 (blue and yellow) but I didn't and will just leave it at that, it is/was a great boat though.

Never had a problem and my passenger compartment is packed with stuff during the summer. I can also sit for hours and after 1 pull the voltage is back up over 13 and by second pull voltage is around 14, unless some bass heavy song comes on then the voltage goes back down to 13. However, my boat only has a 70 amp alt. I just never had a charging issue or had to charge at home so I never upgraded the alt.

It has a dedicated sub chnl. I'm running 6 of mine right now as this is how the factory does it. The run the 2 bows of a thier own chnl, and the 4 rears are series'd and run off the other 2 chnls. I am going to move the bow speakers to the H/U and run the 4 main cabins off the 4 chnls. There is hardly ever anyone in the bow enough to justify using 2 chnls of the amp.

But yes, plenty loud, I usually keep it faded down some.

MATT'S THE F'N MAN!!!HERE THEY COME!!

Those rims are my FAVORITE! Are they the Moto Metals? I have the same ones on my MX van. They look super trick. Love 'em.


btw:::: Wetsounds still had some "B" stock 650's left last I heard. My speakers have a teeny tiny little crack in them at one of the holes--definitely nothing as bad as my kids will do within the first 10 minutes anyway. Tims practically giving them away (ok maybe a lil exagerated) call or email Justin if you're interested, you can't beat 'em.

Sounds like they are good amps.... What about that power? Kicker amp?

Thanks and I have no Idea what they are called but they do look cool! Thanks for the heads up on those speakers but my boat come with six of them from the start. looks like I'm gonna have speakers to sell myself.

The Zx700.5 is about 45W x 4 @ 4ohms. Not the most powerful by any means, but Kickers are great sounding, dependable amps, good price and IMO, this one is plenty loud for cabin speakers.

They do offer plenty of other 2 and 4 chnl amps, so no problem finding one to maximize a sub and speakers.
