I am going to take everyones advice and get a cheapo amp to install with my Infinity Reference 612m which I got for Christmas. I say cheapo since I am runing out of my wifes patience for $$ spent on the boat. I am curious if folks have experience with any of

Now.. some noob questions:

- I was assuming to not purchase a wiring kit, since I assume the boat wiring would be different lengths. Seem reasonable?
- Can I install the amp near the battery (front compartment, right next to the battery)? That would be easiest for wiring and would clean up the compartment a bit. I dont know if i need to worry about interference.
- I assume I should run new speaker wires to handle the increasd power to the speakers. Is that correct?

Thanks!
