Exile xm9's advise and help

[MLA]

I really appreciate everyone's help and advice.
Sounds like I might get another set of xm9's and another amp down the road.
I am currently working with a ws420sq eq.
So if I buy another pair of xm9's I should get a 30.2s to run just those 2 speakers? And keep the ones I have now running off the Rockford Fostgate?

The WS-420 is an awesome marine EQ because its 2 EQ's in one chassis. You can adjust the typically larger tower speakers totally independent from the smaller in-boats.

If you do add a 2nd, I would consider swapping the bridged 4 chnl rockford over to a 2 chnl that would drive both pairs. This is the most ideal, because either way, you are looking at a new amp. A single 2 chnl could be a straightforward plug-n-play with no additional amp power cabling or amp rack realestate needed. Or, you can just install a 2nd matching rockford 4 chnl just for the 2nd pair. Wattage wise for the speakers, this is a great option, but it does require new cabling and space on the wall. For tower speakers, I like a single 2 chnl when it gets us the power we want.

30.2 will run 4 XM9's nicely. All you will ever need. All they can handle.

Would a wetsounds syn2 run the 4 xm9's? Or just get the exile xm30.2 and be done with it?

Yes, the Syn-2 is a good amp for 2 pair of 8" HLCD. Another option that would drive them to their full potential would be the Wet Sounds SD-2, which would net over 300W rms to each or the Arc Audio KS600.2 for 300w rms to each. Another solid option would be a JL Audio HD750/1.

It really comes into question on how many times you want to upgrade your system. It took me three times to find out that 4 XM9 with an Exile amp designed to run them was well worth the money. Now with all the pain of replacing amps in a small space and tower speakers I look back and should have just purchased the system I wanted in the end to begin with.
