Installing Tower Speakers

[mikeyjohn]

I have a few questions about installing a stereo on my boat. We are getting a tower installed on our boat and I am looking at putting a nice setup on the tower. Were getting a monster tower installed and I would like to buy what they call a "six-pack" which is two double barrels and two single cans. My question is do I have to buy a marine amp to power these speakers, are the marine amps actually waterproof, or would I be able to install a regular car audio amp, as long as I keep it away from water? If I can install a regular car audio amp, how do I waterproof the amp so I know it wont get ruined. Thanks for all the help.

You dont need a marine grade amp. Just be sure to put it where its least likely to get wet. I have two amps on the passenger side under the dash area and never had any problems so far.
