Stereo upgrade #2??

[alcoprop]

I am going to be taking my boat apart soon to do some upgrades like batteries, on board charger and wiring upgrades. The battery cables in these boats are a freaking rat nest and it is driving me crazy. I have been having some voltage problems and whining noises that I am hoping I can fix while doing all this. But since I am going to have the boat torn apart I am thinking about upgrading the stereo again. I did 4 rev10's, 2-12" JLW6, dx2.3 on the 4 rev10s, dx4 on the factory cabin speakers and I did the JL HD1200/1 for the subs last year. Subs are in a sealed box with one under the helm and one under the observer seat. I have a bad sub and I can not get a replacement anywhere b/c they are on back order so I am thinking about replacing them with 2- xxx12's in a ported box. I am willing to cut the helm up and make a new grille to do so. Adding 2-Sinister-SDx2 for the towers, replacing the interior speakers with the revo 8's and a Sinister- SDx4,  and running 1 or 2 Sinister-SDX2500. I have been having connectivity issues every once in awhile with the factory BT and wondering with this big of a system would you just bypass the factory system all together. I do not care about stereo warranty. I saw a website from a car audio shop that took a 2020 and removed the entire sport knob on the right dash and added an MC-1 and thought it looked nice. Thought about this or also thought about going with a WS-420. I have also heard that you can add the WS-420 to the factory black box. For you big stereo guys what would you do? I am not looking to go as big as the "big sound systems- what are you running" post in this forum. All opinions are welcomed!

I would reccommend sdx2 or dx2.3 for the xxx12's. You can get them to run 1200rms at 4 ohm. It is not possible to wire up 2 xxx12's to get the full 2500 watts rms out of an sdx2500 sadly (I was upset about this as I run my 2 off of dx 2.3's)
