Hey All,

I've got an 18ft Scarab...4 person cockpit. I'm looking to put in a decent system. Head unit is already in.

Here's what I want to add:
1 sub, 8" or 10", sealed box
2 tweeters
2-4 mids
Amp

I've never been an audiophile and from going through several forums it seems everyone is partial to certain manufacturers. For the amp, mids and tweets, I think marine grade would be the best way to go. What about the sub? It will be positioned forward of the cockpit and under cover...is it necessary to have a marine grade sub? I like the fact that the Kicker solo barics don't require much box volume but it appears that they are not available in a marine grade.

So, I don't know which way to go...just looking for some suggestions. I'll be purchasing online and installing myself. I'm looking to spend around $400-$500...the less the better.

Thanks!
