230 10000watts wet sounds and memphis help please

[davy]

In the process of setting up a killer system on a 2011 230, with a FCT 5 tower. I have sound knowledge of system setups on cars, but boats are a bit different.
This is what i have in mind so far, also i would like anyone's elses input or idea's.

On the tower i would like to use 2 x Pro 485 and 2x Pro 80.

I do wonder though if the Pro 80's will fit on the FCT 5 tower side mounts properly?

I also want to use memphis 2 x 12" subs(1100wrms 2 ohms, 15cm12d2) and 2 x 15" subs(1750wrms 2ohms, 15cm15d2).

Not sure where and how to fit the subs to get the best result.

Does any one have any photo's of sub installs on a 230?
Still trying to choose speakers and amps to go around the boat.
One more very important question, how many batteries would i need for 10 000 watts or more?

Davy,
Determining the number of batteries based on amp/hours will be a simple formula of taking your total amplifier power and converting that into amperage draw and then deciding how much play time at rest you desire. The real challenge is how you are going to charge or recharge those batteries so that you don't toast your alternator and still maintain battery longevity. These two objectives can be in conflict with one another.
Multiple large subwoofers in a vehicle usually means all the drivers are collected in a single location. Spreading them around in different locations in a towboat brings into play some acoustical challenges that are very unique versus an enclosed cabin of a car/truck/SUV. While this requires an approach that is completely polarized from our typical system design I do know how to get the most from an S.P.L. system in a boat. Believe me, its a little complex if you are going to do it right and without a great deal of waste. And its one thing to build it to be crazy loud for a burst but its another matter to keep it playing reliably all weekend. Rather than type a book you might send me a note in order to set up a phone conversation.
