I would like to add two 6.5" speakers to my tower. I am currently running 4 db651 in the cabin. I will probably stick with polk db651 or MM651. My question is amp setup. Can I power all six speakers on one amp or should I just power the tower speakers with an amp. I am pretty happy with how the cabin speakers sound from the deck. If I just amp the tower speakers, can I avoid adding a second battery? Normally I don't listen to music while sitting.

Re: Speaker amp setup

If the amp can handle it then yes you can. Depends a lot on the amp.

If all else is working how you want it to I would add a second amp for the tower speakers. I like the DB651's in our boat. We have 6 in the boat and 4 on the tower.

If you want to only run one amp, take a look at the JL XD600/6. It's a 6 channel Class D amp that puts out good power to run the Polks in a small package.
