I know, many of these threads. But asking anyway.
We have a 2022 195s. Want to add amp and 2 mid cabin speakers. Not looking for Tower speakers, just more sound when cruising minor so then when doing water sports. Boat has WetSound speakers stock, Recon 6-S, Fusion head unit built into Touch Screen. Wanting to add 2 mid cabin WetSound speakers (for consistent look and they do sound good). Added an amp LY, but its 50 watts per channel, 4 channel.
So looking at adding one of these and looking for opinions.
Wet Sounds HTX-6 100w x6,
JL Audio XDM600/6 75w x6,
Fusion SG-DA61500 100w x6
Or other suggestions?
Second, the boat has 4 WetSounds Recon 6-S, do I add the same mid cabin or are the
Wet Sounds REVO 6-XSS better sounding or just more expensive due to the LED's. Which I will probably not use. But there are also Recon 8 S-RGB?
Lastly,I have Purchased many items from Crutchfield, great service, never had any issue, great service, but also looking for other recommendations if the price is better?
Thanks!

All your questions were already answered in other threads.

Double check your speakers, I believe they're the Recon 5-S

What kind of amp? If it's a solid amp with true 50w/ch going to 100w won't make much difference in volume but will add another channel for the extra speakers.
The HTX-6 is a good amp...I'd go with it and match WS Recon speakers.
 
Revo series is going to be a huge upgrade over the stock recon’s. Worth it in my opinion.

Definitely recommend the HTX amp.
 
NVX amps at Sonic Electronics are excellent class D marine amps.
 
Got all my stuff at Creative Audio. Sometimes they have great deals on refurbished items (that's what I got).

Go fusion for what you’re looking to do. I am putting 100w to my stock WS recon 6s (that’s what comes in the 195s) with a kicker amp, really wakes up the speakers.

If you don’t add speakers this is a good option Kicker 48KXMA800.4

I agree I have three NVX class D amps and a wetsounds head and Kicker Speakers and it is outstanding... I like the Waterproof construction of the amps and the ability to turn off the internal amp section in the wet sounds and just drive line out.
