I need a new sound system for for my Convincor

Wow, those are some impressive systems. Iceboater - nice install!
I just ordered 2 more infinity marine 6x9's (will make 4 total under the rear bench), a pair of marine infinity 6.5's for the bow and a couple of 5.25 infinity reference car speakers for under the dash (can't fit anything bigger in there). I'll end up connecting all 4 6x9's to my 2 channel 300 w amp like Brian suggested and then either running the other speakers off of the head unit or using the 4x25 amp for them.
I'm not hung up on infinity's -but I already owned and liked the one pair of the 6x9's and for the $, they have good sensitivity and quality for the $ - so I stuck with the same brand. I was going to cheap out on the 5.25's due to location and size, but I figured for another $30 I could have them all match and may as well do it right the first time. Dealercostaudio has infinity's (and others) at about 50% of retail.
It won't be super loud, but should be just fine, may even be able to hear it while cruising.

ICBoater, that is exactly where I am planning to put mine. Damn, I whought I was doing something that no one had done before.
Are those free air subs mounted on a slam board type setup or are they in boxes. How did you get them in there? I am 99% sure I am going to have to remove the bolsters to get mine installed.
Mine are going to be in boxes. Still not sure if I am building sealed or vented enclosures. Still building cardboard prototype boxes and measuring everything very carefully.

They are in boxes.I took one end of the rail loose and moved it out of the way and the box slides right in.

Holy crap, I guess that is the benefit of the bigger boat. I am convinced I will not be able to get the boxes into my 253 without removing the bolsters.
Is your boat the old 283 with the seim platform now counted in LOA or do you have one of the true 30 footers. I believe the original Convincor 300 was 30' not counting the swim platform. You obviously have more room then me.
BTW, so you stilll have the measurements of the boxes you used?

283 and 300 Convincors are the same length. They are 28 feet w/o counting the swim platform, 30 feet with counting it.Holy crap, I guess that is the benefit of the bigger boat. I am convinced I will not be able to get the boxes into my 253 without removing the bolsters.

I think the 303 Convincor was 30' w/o the platform. I have only seen one around.Did they make a Convincor that was 30' not counting the swim platform?
