Audio Help in Miami Beach

[wbbmiami]

Hi
New here and been reading a lot of threads... thanks for the info. You've all been very helpful. Well, I finally got my first boat but haven't been into car/boat audio since the late 90s so I'm playing catch up, lol. I am a musicina and have great home audiophile grade gear (Monitor Audios/NHT subs)

Anyway, I got this killer deal on 26' Azure Sport Deck and just installed a Fusion IP600G to works w/ my iPhone 3Gs (ipod function) which I like to have on the boat. The FUSION is 70W x 4 and seems pretty loud but I'm missing something...bass perhaps, maybe the speakers aren;t cutting it also?

It has stock JBL 6.5s that came with the boat from the factory along with the JBL CD/AM/FM head unit I just took out and replaced with the Fusion.

So, in my attempt to get better/good audio without breaking the bank, I need some advice...

Option 1 (~ $950): The best thing I THINK I could do to improve sound and is to add a JL AUDIO M10IB5 and the 5-channel JL Audio MHD900-5 which would power all four 6.5s PLUS the new sub. I could replace the 6.5s later when I have more Benjamin's.

Option 2 (~ $300-500): Just get the JL 10" sub and say a lower-priced 2-channel amp (recommendations please). Would that really make a huge difference or would the 4 - 6.5s disappear in the mix?

Any recommendations greatly appreciated...

and lastly, where would you recommend putting the 10" sub?

Thanks in advance! Great forum

take out all the speakers and jump on the JL special deal they have on thier site. - 4 component speakers and their 4 ch amp for $649. This is a killer deal that won't be repeated.
Try that for a few months and come back and add a sub amp and 2 subs if that's not enuf. But it probably will...

we install JL in fort lauderdale - drop the boat off and we'll do it right in our lot.
