09' Tahoe Q5i with diywake.com pro tower being installed. Budget is tight so I'm thinking 1K should pull it off. What I would like to know is if you think for a little more or less, I should be using something different...
Head Unit - Sony CDX-GT700HD and RMX11M wired remote - $150 ? Head unit not waterproof but I have a water tight cover already. Is this a mistake not going with a ?marine? unit? Much more bang for your buck with non marine units.
Amp - kicker zxm700.5 with Kicker ZXRC bass control - $350
Speakers - 4 Polk db651s?s in boat - $120
4ga amp wiring/speaker wire - $50
Tower Speakers - Kicker KS65?s ? in can?s already from diywake.com
Subwoofer - Polk Audio MM1040 - $100, Sealed or vented box for this sub? Upgrade to 12? worth it?
Sealed MDF or fiberglass box - $100
Already have 2nd battery and 2 bank charger, still need to get a VSR, Isolator, ACR, or Switch. See >http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=513954&p=3463240#post3463240 ~ $100
So what else am I missing or what is under/overkill, opinions, suggestions, etc? Thanks!
I have not dug deep into resistance ratings for these speakers and how they will match up with the amp/wiring... it has been awhile since the car stereo days.
