wake and speakers......

I have a 1985 Sea ray seville 5.6 bowrider and the engine is a 140hp merc cruiser inboard outboard motor. I am just wondering what all I can do or ad to the boat to make it have a bigger wake behind the boat and be more like a wakeboarding boat? If it would make the wake bigger by adding a different engine to the boat, what is a reasonably priced engine I should buy?
I was looking into putting a cd player and speakers into my boat, is there a special type of marine cd player I need to install or can it be a simple car cd player, if so does any suggest a brand and model? Does anyone have suggestions on brands and models of speakers as well? Is it possible to put subwoofers in a boat, if so what are some good make and models, as well as amps? I need some advice here.

This link has a whole lot of great information for adding wake to an I/O. I have an 04 Searay I/O that I've added a few things too. H2O Tower, Sony Marine Head Unit, Kicker Speakers, and Hydrofoil. Next will be fat sacs, prop, and probably tower speakers.

Crutchfield is a great place to find Marine audio electronics and the sales advisors are very knowledgeable as well. Sometimes you can find great deals there. If not then you can always try ebay once you know what components you want to buy. Good luck.

Good times...

You dont need a marine deck unless your expecting the spot where the deck sits to get wet a lot.
