So i want to upgrade the stock audio on my boat.. Basically a 28 footer, with 4 speakers on the back of the boat...
I went to best buy today and bought this:
Head Unit: Sony CDX-M20
Speakers: Sony XS-MP1611 (2 Pairs)
Amp: Sony XM-604M
I installed it and i liked the sound, it sounds loud (could be louder) when i put it 100% volume on the HU, and leave the gain stock. It starts to distortion the sound.. so i have to put it on like 90%, for it to be loud and clear...
The reason im making this post, is because i spent $460, and i want to see if for the same money i could get something better... I dont really like the speaker quality (look cheap to be marine), nor i like tha i only have 1 RCA pair outputs on the back of my HU, this is not a big deal, since all 4 speakers are on the back of my boat and are full range...
So i went to sonic Electronix and made this exact setup and came up to $369.. so if i decide to keep this ill return the ones from bestbuy and buy everything again from sonic..
I also did this setup (which was recommend a bit ago on another post):
Head Unit: Kenwood KMR-350U
Speakers: JBL Marine MS6200 (2 pairs)
Amp: JBL Marine MA6004
This came up to $419 which is cheaper still than the best buy stuff..
Now my budged pushing it is $500...
What do you guys recommend??
