First off, I want to say thanks to all the folks that provided tips and information.  Now on to the good stuff.

(1) Alpine SWR-1042D (Dual Voice Coil) 10" subwoofer.  Running the voice coils in parralel for a 2 ohm load.  500 Watts RMS

(1) Profile AP-1000M Mono Amp.  500 Watts RMS X 1 at 2 ohms

(1) Infinity Reference 475A.  75 Watts X 4

(6) Infinity Kappa 602M 6 1/2" Marine Speakers.  Rated at 70 watts RMS

(2) 12 Volt DPDT mechanical state relays.  Wire to switch on the dash.  When the switch is of the 4 speakers inside the boat are on.  When you hit the switch, the 2 speakers in the front of the boat turn off and the 2 speakers on the back of my boat turn on.

Before installation:  I had a db reading of 93 db with the db meter sitting on the drivers seat.

After installation:  I had a db reading of 113 db with the db meter sitting on the drivers seat.  Same song, same level on the radio.

Here are the pictures.

Subwoofer (I didn't get any of it installed because the box is pretty far back in a cubby hole.

Got my ends soldered on my 1/0 guage.  Blue is power and red is ground. 

Other ends of the 1/0 guage with distro blocks.

ANL Fuse holder.  I'm going to be swithcing the fuse out for a 150 amp.

Amps

Amps

My madoosa's!!  12 volt dpdt relays with my pig tails soldered on.  I labeled all the wires so when I got in the boat and found speaker #1 I could just wire it up to my pig tails.

This is behind a cooler storage area.  Only had to drill one hole.

Just a shot of one of the infinity speakers installed.

Radio and the remote gain control for the sub amp.  Lets me turn off the sub basically without leaving my seat.

Infinity reference amp.  The 12 volt relays are up above jammed behind the piece of wood.  Gotta come up with some way to mount them.  Probably gorilla glue them to a piece of mdf or something.

Profile amp.  Both amps are in a little storage area in front of the driver's helm.  We use the storage area so I mounted the amps up high so I didn't loose any storage space.  But they get pretty hot in hrere.  GOing to have to rig up a fan.

Just a shot of the front of the boat.  Notice the bow speakers down low.  They turn off when I flip my switch on the dash.

GPS mount, sirius sattelite.  My relay is wired to one of those black switches on the dash.  Totally factory looking!  All the cables are for the gps and my sirius.

Just a shot of the back of the boat.

This is an old picture from last year when I installed my rear speakers.  These are the speakers that turn on when I flip my switch on the dash.  So when we are backed up to the beach and anchored out I can hear my music while we are on land!!!

If you ever let anyone else work on your system, you might ought to let them know that the red wire is ground.

I would never let anybody touch my boat.  I do all my own maintenance and everything else.  That mustard cost too much money to let somebody else mess with it.  BTW, we'll be out on the water tomorrow.

Gotta love florida.
