I did the same - two different set of 'marine' speakers lasted about a year each before they disintegrated. Now, I have some neat starboard covers for where they used to be - the inside ones are OK. I guess I never really wanted outside noise.

We hardly ever used them and now one has a bad crackle noise already.I suggest spending that extra money on better cabin speakers.

I hate cutting holes in my boat! I'll wait for the Defender sale to shop for speakers, but I rarely sail with the stereo on, so I'm not looking to spend big bucks.

The amps' outputs are much lower impedance so the speakers are in a bridging configuration.

I replaced the old stereo with a Sony unit after I bought the boat. One of the 2 interior speakers worked and the 2 cheapo West cockpit speakers worked. After spending way too much time, I finally figured out that the speaker wire was to corroded to carry a signal. Initially, I replaced most of the wire with household wire. DON"T USE HOUSEHOLD SPEAKER WIRE. That lasted about a season. I finally replaced all of the wire with marine grade wire. Then I discovered that the rubber around the speaker cones disintegrated. I bought 5 1/4 inch car speakers that fit into the enclosures for the cabin speakers, and then found out the cockpit speakers did't work. Turns out someone twisted and taped the connections. New crimp connectors fixed them. Finally, 4 working speakers! Now, need to upgrade the cockpit speakers.
