    I don’t really care where I can buy them as long as they sound good and don’t break. One thing about kicker is they can take some abuse! I would get them since three pairs is cheaper than one. The LEDs are really nice too with the remote!

      Do you have a Syn DX6 available for sale?
      Yeah, I have (1) Syn-DX6 in stock. I can order in any of the Wetsounds speakers but I just stock certain amps and tower speakers that people typically buy when they replace Klipsch equipment in the 2018+ boats.

        Thanks, I'll keep you in mind.

        Do you have any JL amps by chance?

        I have an 800/8, but it is water damaged and only 6 channels work. I suppose it would work for this project, but it bothers me that it is not fully functional.

          Hard pass on kicker stuff. Quality is not what it used to be, and I’m not a fan of the sound quality.

              That would be a hard no for me. No telling when the board may go up in smoke.

                LOL, yeah, I agree, the quality of the Kicker marine gear is not what it used to be. Its unbelievably solid these days.

                Sound is suggestive and opinionated. Dont buy or not buy, based on someone else's ears.

                  Kicker has stepped up their game immensely. They too are looking for the buyer's market niche.

                    Sound being suggestive is why I thought just go with JL. I don't think I can go wrong with JL, I just have to pay a fortune for it.

                    I suppose I could go walk the sand bar and get people to show off their sound for me.

                        I do on another computer. I will get them and send to you when I get back to that machine tomorrow.

                            After the install I did, that is what we did. Parked beside different toons and compared (Wets were one of the systems), and the guy was/is still OK with his choice.

                            All to the preference of each to their own.

                              So what amp(s) to run (6) JL M6 8.8s?

                              The JL 6 channel amps are only 75w RMS. The speakers are 125w RMS.

                              I feel like these speakers should get around 150w per speaker.
