Clarion Stereo Replacement & Speaker Install

[mdecker006]

Hi guys -- new to the forum, looking for help on replacing some speakers and upgrading the stereo on my 26' Wellcraft Martinique. Currently there are Clarion 6.5"s on the radar arch, a pair in the cabin, all hooked directly to the deck. I'm looking to replace the speakers on the radar arch with new Clarion CMG1721R's. Will the 7" speakers fit in the 6.5" holes without much effort? (I have heard its not a problem). Then I'm going to add another set of CMG1721R's on the radar arch above the existing holes. I also want to add in a Clarion CMG2510W sub on the main deck as well. I'd like to power all 3 sets of speakers (2 new on deck, 1 original in cabin) as well as the sub with a 600W Clarion amp - Clarion XC6410.

I'm not an expert in any of this so any help you could provide would be great. Here are links to the products, not married to them, so if I need to make adjustments I can. I want to say in this price range though, going JL or MB isn't worth it for me right now.

Maybe it's just me but all three links gave "page not found" errors. http://www.clarion.com/us/en/product...559425242.html My guess would be that there was originally something between "product" and "559425242" that didn't translate for some reason and got replaced by a series of periods. Sorry.

Clarion U.S.A. | XC6410
Clarion U.S.A. | CMG2510W
Clarion U.S.A. | CMG1721R

I bet these will work.

Wait for a real pro to come along before you buy anything. I think you need more power.
