Amp planner opinions for g21

[scottb7]

Living on a small lake I am never going to use the 4 tower speakers on my 2014 g21. The neighbors already don't like my large boat. So I am thinking I should re-purpose the amp running the tower speakers:

This is how everything is currently wired from factory

• Speakers
  • Dxi651
  • 4 ohm 60w continuous /180w peak
• top-pa d4000.4
  • tower speakers
    • 125w x 4 @ 4 ohm
    • 200w x 4 @ 2 ohm
    • 1 tower left a
    • 2 tower left b
    • 3 tower right a
    • 4 tower right b
• bottom-pa d5000.5
  • 70w x 4; 200w x 1 @ 4 ohm
  • 100w x 4; 400w x 1 @ 2 ohm
  • 1 ch front right – bow right – 1 speaker 70w
  • 2 ch front left – bow left – 1 speaker 70w
  • 3 ch rear right – cabin right front 35w
  • 3 ch rear right - cabin right back 35w
  • 4 ch rear left – cabin left front 35w
  • 4 ch rear left – cabin left back 35w
  • 5 ch sub – 10 inch

First thing that surprises me is that the cabin speakers (all 4 of them) are sharing 2 channels, cutting the power to them. While no one is in the bow hardly ever.

Tell me if I am wrong but here is what I am thinking I should do:

*pa d4000.4 use the 4 channels for the 4 cabin speakers - this moves each cabin speaker from 35w each speaker to 125w each....NOTE A FRIEND SAYS I AM WRONG AS OHMS GO DOWN AND WATTS GO UP...IS HE RIGHT?
*pa d5000.5 leave sub as is and leave bow speakers as is. I could bridge the 4 channels but would be too high for the bow and I don't use the bow much.

What do you think? I believe the sub has to stay on the sub channel due to high/low pass and all that stuff.

Other ideas?

With 2 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel to one chnl, the output is actually 100W, so a net of 50 to each speaker, rather than 35. With two speakers, the chnl output goes from 70W to 100. Now, in reality, there is is not going to be a real difference between 50 and 70. However, you've double the speakers in the cabin when you went from 70 to one speaker to 100 to 2 speakers per chnl.

Sub will stay on the 5th chnl of the 5000.5 as theres now where else for it to go.

Not saying dont do it, just dont expect a seat of the pants improvement by simply moving speaker wires. Id re-tune the system first, if you havent.

agree, but on the other amp, they would get 125w @ 4 ohm vs 50w at 2 ohm...so difference is not 50 to 70, it is 50 vs 125...worth it?
