Hey Cap'n... Are you running those off deck power?

For the time being, yes. They will need some more power to sound their best in the arch.

You guys are light years ahead of me regarding how to hook up amps, wiring, location, and what is new out
there. I have heard quite a few boat systems, and I know what I like, and what I did not really care for.
Most of the high end systems sure do sound good, but i just don't really need anything top of the line.
Just something that will do the job, and keep the overall cost within reason. Whatever I do, it will be an
improvement over what I have now. Just these speakers alone will make a difference.

Obviously I'm treading water in a sea of Polk-o-Maniacs here.......

Oh Well, I can swim pretty good.

Ha.

I wouldnt say I am a Polk-o-maniac, never had a set. But I would say more along the lines of stereo-maniac...

Nice Capn! Nice shiney surround, although you can't see any of mine.

They will look great on your arch I'm sure!

Kind of a good fit asthetically for our boat. Blue canvas, blue LED arch lights, and the grill surrounds will compliment the stainless we have in abundance in our cockpit. There is already more than enough white on our boat, need to break it up a little.

Very nice! They should compliment the cockpit area nicely. Can't wait to see the installed pics.

They look great and would really look cool with some LED rings around them...in blue of course.

I got them through amazon last week. You have to watch their site often. The prices change all the time. Yesterday they were $116.95 last week they were $89.95, today they are $77.95. I just timed it right I guess.

$75 ...?!?!?!

Thats's just a few bucks more than my Harman-Kardon/Infinity employee purchase price!

You're right! When I went on Amazon they were $116.95, and the next best price I found was about $85, that's why I was wondering where you got yours. And, today they are $77.95!

Question, I'm picking up my new H260 in about a week and I assume, as stated on the FW's website, that it will have the Sony speakers, however my dealer says they will be Clarions. I got the Kicker amp and sub upgrade, will the Sony's (or Clarions's) sound ok or would I notice a huge difference with the Infinitys? If so, will they fit without any mods? Does it matter that there's more of the speaker exposed due to the different grill design as far as water damage? Also, what about changing out the rear facing speakers on the transom?

Clarions? As far as I know FW made the switch to Sony in 2008, and still use them on the 2010 models. 2007 was the last model year to have Clarions. It's all very subjective of course, but to me the Clarions were heavy on mid-range, and although the upgrade package clarions included separate tweeters on a cross over that helped with high freqs, they lacked thump. The Clarion head units, in my opinion, are great - no issues, which is certainly not the case with the current Sony head units.
