JL subs, focal mid and highs and precision power amps.
My recommendation is to Ignore marine stuff and save on the premium. I've had a lot of systems in boats, cars, golf carts, etc. and even have had a couple competition sound systems in cars so I have some experience. I've never owned marine grade and never had a problem. That's one way to save money. Another is, truly, you don't HAVE to buy super high end stuff to get a rock-in system. Basic alpine, fosgate, kenwood, eclipse, pioneer, JL, etc will get you loud clean music. The basic run of the mill stuff now-a-days is pretty impressive for the cost. I've owned them all - they do the job.
Just my .02

I've had this boat since 07 and it came with 4-10s, a 12 and 2-6.5s. I think I'm going to drop the 12 and add 4-7.7s.

Good clean power is the key to great sound. Spend the money on a good amp and go with a separate amp for the sub. I have Memphis Audio and have been very pleased.

Mike, you should look up Rob in Indy. He has a slip on Monroe and has a custom shop on Indy. His last couple Fountains had were pushing over 50 Speakers in each. JL dealer.

JL for sure. Have JL systems in 5 of our boats and love them.
If you're not doing it yourself, + 1 for ROB at elite. He will take care of you
