Thanks to Odin at Earmark a few of the packages for my winter upgrade project came in today! Can't wait to get started changing out the JL 6.5s for the new 8.8s once it gets too cold for boating this season! The completed stereo will have 3 sets of JL 8.8s in the boat, a set of 7.7s at the transom, 2 - 10" subs and 4 tower speakers ( 1 set of 7.7s and a set of 8.8s). It'll be powered by JL 2 - M800, a M700 and a M600. You should be able to hear us coming once I'm able to get it all installed!

Should be great....you dropping in lithium batteries as well? Just curious on the electrical side with this setup.
 
Currently, I'm running 2 31 series AGM batteries but I am going to add a 3rd and these will just be for the stereo and lights. I have another 27 series I keep separate for the starting battery. My plan is to run 0 gauge wire to the helm and then split it into 4 gauge to each amp. I should be pushing around 2600 watts so I think this should be sufficient if I've done my calculations correctly...I guess we will see.
