Hi Everyone, I've got a 2003 Air Nautique 216 (wish SAN 210) w/ PCM330 and its time to upgrade the Diamond Audio tower speakers and Alpine and Clarion amps. I've got a Clarion XMD3 head end unit. I've got a good line on a pair of Rev8s and Wetsounds HT4 and HT6. My thought is to run the HT4 bridged to the Rev8s and then use the HT6 for the 6 interior speakers (stock now but will upgrade in Spring) and factory 10" Polk Sub (picked up used on the boards). So for the HT6 I would bridge a pair of channels (300W) to the sub and run the 6 interior off the other 4 channels (one pair of speakers on two channels @110W and the other 2 sets of speaker pairs on two channels at 2ohms @150W or 75W per speaker). I may put in a WS420SQ into the mix too for the PA function. My objective is to have a clean sounding system that voice audios can be heard while boarding but not go deaf inside the boat (already hard of hearing according to the Mrs.). Boat has dual batteries (starting and deep cycle under observer seat) now with a 2 position perko switch.
Questions:
Would I notice the imbalance of the interior speakers power, 2@110W vs 4@75W each?
Should I keep the Alpine PDX 2.150 (300w bridged) for the sub and run all 6 interior speakers on the HT6?
If I keep the Alpine amp or add a third amp (thinking HT2 for sub @575W) will I need another battery or high output alternator for a 1500W or 2000W system?
I appreciate the help!
