Highs turn down on their own

It's probably not HLCD then cause u can barley here it a the end of the rope cause it turns down.

The Memphis PR4x50 is only delivering 50W to each of your tower speaker. HLCD or Coaxial, they will not be heard much past the swim platform with that power. You need another amp for starters.

Once you check and re-tune the amp, i think you may see some improvements, but I think the biggest factor here is compensating for lack of power by over driving the volume knob. Your current amp will do perfect for you 4 in-boats and maybe even a lightweight sub. If your Bazookas are the coax, this amp would be strong power for them if run in 2 chnl mode. If they are the HLCD's, then the power is spot on. Then get another amp for the in-boats.

So if you determine the exact model Bazooka tower speakers you have, then we can make a better amp recommendation.

Ok I was looking online and found my tower speakers... I'm at work till the 28th so I'm in able to play around with the boat right now.. I found my tower speakers they are. Bazooka Wakeboard Tubbies MT6502WS (MT6502W)

I looked at the set up for the amp the 1-2 channel are hooked up to the 4 alpines in the boat.. 3 and 4 are on the tower..
They are both on hpf and the gain is barley up.

So ur saying keep this amp for the 4 alpines ( channel 1-2) in the boat an maybe a light sub hooked up to the 3-4 channel on lpf and get a new amp for tower speakers? what kind of amp and watts you thinking would be good. You think that's the problem of them turning down ?

The Bazooka MT6505 is decent surf/party cove speaker at best. It would take a TON of power to make this speaker audible at wake-board range, and frankly, it would blow by then.

So, to make this speaker sound a little better, it needs a dedicated amp. To hear the music while wake-boarding, you need an HLCD and proper amp to match. I think overdriving the volume is the root of your symptom.

ok awesome thx, i'm looking into some amps and stuff, since inside the boat has alpine speakers i would like to run alpine amps, for the bazooka since im not going to hear them anywas i can use the mm 4.50 thats in it right now to power those, and could possible get the sub to run off the 4.50 too since its 4 channel.. im thinkink like 600-1000watt amp. i don't need to be the loudest boat out there i just like good and clear sound.. again its for me to hear not everyone else

Here is my best recommendation. Run the Bazookas on the current Memphis bridged and get a new amp for the in-boats. This would give each tower speaker 150W. This would give you the most flexibility in choosing a sub and amp to power. Although the Memphis will do fine for the in-boats, its 150w bridged power really limits your sub options.

In Alpine line up, I like the looks of the MRX-V70 5 channel: 60W to each of the 4 in-boat, with room to add a 3rd pair, and 350W available to a 2 ohm sub. Small and Class-D efficiency.

The MRX-F65 4 chnl will power the 4 in-boats @ 80W to each and allow you to bridge a 4 ohm sub for 320W. Thats a perfect setup for the SWR-M100 infinite-baffle sub or the SWE-12S4
