Winter Stereo Project

[chfrogman]

I would like to make a project of adding supporting equip to the current boat stereo over the winter. My wife and I purchased a 2005 X-2 this past year and have though about adding tower speakers, etc. I am fairly good with electrical and stereo stuff once I know what I need and simple directions.

Does anyone have suggestions on what would work best with the current stock Clarion CDX stereo. What can I do to add on to it and what are the limitations. I am not looking to spend a HUGE amount of money, but think that I can save some $$ by doing it myself. Any advice is appriciated. (Amp, tower speakers, additional batt.m etc.)

I am also not looking to have everyone in the next county be able to hear the music that I am listening to.

I used Sounddomain.com for all my stereo purchases. Use pricegrabber.com to find the best price on the component you want then used Sounddomain's 105% price match to get a little better price.

I would go with a amp for the boat speakers and go for there. Maybe next, a sub and sub-amp, if your model of boat didn't come with one. than go for the tower speakers and another amp to drive them.

Excuse the wires in that amp pic. Was not finished with looming the wires

I will just have to check out some of these ideas. Is there a need for so many amps? Do I need multiple batt. or will one additional work. Thanks for the info & photos.
