Hi Guys, just a quick update, I had my eye on a pair of Alpine SPS M600 6.5 inch Coxial speakers at the local stereo shop. The ones that came with the boat (Maxxima) didn't sound too bad at all but wanted something a little newer.
I decide to "pull the trigger" today and bought them, I saw them on a few Internet sites for a little cheaper but by the time I add the duty and local taxes when it shows up via UPS it was only $20.00 difference and at least this way the warranty is good just in case.
At any rate, I asked th boys in the shop about the idea of wiring the front and backs togeather when only using 2 speakers, like Bill had indicated earlier - some head units are ok to wire this way and others are not, their advice was to stick with either just the fronts or backs.
Didn't have a chance to install them, my daughter just had to have her room painted so spent the last 8 hours doing that. Going for a joy ride tomorrow so I'll install them early next week. I just hooked them up quickly to make sure they worked and they sounded pretty good just have to drill a few new screw holes and we are good to go as they are a little wider but no problem with the depth etc.
Take Care
Bruce
