I have always been one to spend money on go fast parts for my cars and have skipped the audio completely. Now that I've got a boat that's fast enough for my needs, I need to be able to hear my music while doing some floating/drinking.

I have what I think is a pretty decent Sony deck and my speakers aren't amazing but aren't bad either. I think I'd like to add a sub and maybe a couple more speakers.

Where do I start with this? Any good guides online? Is it as simple as buying an amp, a sub, a box and hooking up wires?

Any good recommendations for Austin area audio guys?

That demo they had of the jet going by was louder than a lot of jets I've heard lol

I"ve never had a good stereo on any boat I've owned.
I think it may be time to change that -- but will probably go down a more budget-friendly route.

I have a friend that does really good work. He used to work at Xtreme Sounds. Let me know if you want his number. I know he'll shoot you straight.

I have a pretty good setup on my boat. However, it's not often I'm using it since most of the good get together spots always has some thingy playing music so loud it's pointless to turn yours on.
