What's your budget?

It all depends on how much power you want. There are plenty of good reputable spaeker companies that offer similar grade products, just depends on how much cash money you have.

If no budget then....Id get 4 of these cans

I'd get 2 of these (2 speakers per amp should suffice)

and I'd get this these subs with another one of those amps up above:
http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=SBS-D122V

$1920 for the speakers
$450 for the subs
$2700 for the 3 amps
$250 for a marine stereo
$400 for wiring/amp kits
$300 for 3 batteries to power all of this

equals about $6020

Alpine for the deck
JL for the amps and SUB
MB Quart/Boston/Focal/etc for speakers

You also may want to upgrade your alternator.

If there is no budget, there always is.....

Fly out Sound Illusions and give them free reign. Here are some photos to give you an idea.

I'd go JL for subs, either JL, Arc Audio or Zapco for amps (all 3 I'm pretty sure have regulated power supplies) Focal components or JL components in the boat, NVS or wetsounds on the tower.

There's higher end stuff ,but most of the higher end will give you better sound quality, but nothing noticable in a boat.

nvs is the best tower speakers you can buy imo you can hear the stuff anywhere on the lake

ok so price isnt an option, chuck two 12' diamond subs in, usually about 1800 Watts each, but like 400 bucks a piece. Then you have to power those suckers, personally from car systems that ive heard (if you have the money) buy an amp for each sub, like MA Audio, they have a mono channel that can do like 1800W. Then again there like 350-400 a piece. SO ALREADY your at like $1600 just for some bass. Then you need tower speakers, something like NVS and more amps to power, get a multi channel, then you need to power your basic in boat speakers. Yet I just wasted all my time because your young and confused. But hell it was my pleasure, go ask daddy for the money now. Laughing
