Awesome set up DTB! As others have stated the 9'sreally throw out the mid bass I thought they were great! With my Axis I told Brian what I wanted to achieve and I went with the 7's and two 800.4 amps bridged instead of the harpoon. This set up has an incredible range and I'm really happy with it. I had the black grills but switched back to the chrome and I think that really sets the boat off... my speakers get just about as many compliments as the boat. It's really awesome when your boarding or cruising down the lake and everyone on houseboats and other boats start jammin to your music...
