    Now caddy... is that any way to treat a new member?:D

    what amp, what HU.. what speaks, for that matter?

    are you certain that you have it hooked up properly?

    any more information you can provide will greatly improve our chances of a good diagnosis..

    if you have model numbers, that would be most helpful..

    have you tested the amp to see if it is effective on other setups?

    and the boat speakers are stock? how old are they?
    what size?

    are the speaks maybe toasted? - are they good marine speaks?

    sorry.. I have a lot of questions, but the more specific you can be, the easier it will be to figure out what's wrong..
