Ok, I have the new Fusion Applo system coming for my 88 300WE. I ordered some matching speakers to go with it but Fusion has yet to release them to the public. I'm not 100% sure I want to spend another $350 on two speakers but if I have to I will.

Can anyone point me in a direction of good mid priced speakers that will match up with my old girl? I need a 6.5" speaker with a classic white grill.
 
I'm sure there are others here that are more up to speed on audio things than I am. You probably want specific models, but I think the obvious front runners in marine speakers are JL Audio and Kicker. Most marine speakers have a couple of grill options. When I upgraded my stereo last year I didn't want to spend that much $$ so I went with Polk Audio and have been very happy. Like mentioned above, I like Crutchfield - they are very knowledgeable and willing to help if you call them - pricing is ok, might not always be the cheapest place, but when you consider their advice and the support they will give you later, I have been happy with them.
Stereo systems are like engine oil, everyone is going to have their favorite and opinion

The Wet Sounds SW-65icW is about as classic as it gets. If you want to step up to a premium speaker, then look at their Revo-6. It comes in 8 grill options, one of which being the similar louvered white grill. Id post a link, but their site is down at the moment.
 
I went and looked at some JL this morning at a local marine installer. I also looked at the Wet Sounds. Both were nice but I went with the JL. Price was alright, about $100 each. I got the head unit from BOE but felt like I should go local for some of the job. Besides he has used my services from time to time.

The amp is next.

Thank you all for the help as I know nothing about sound systems

I just finished an all new stereo install including the Fusion Apollo MS-R770. Love it. For speakers I used the JL Audio MX650s and got them for $179 a pair. Also a JL Audio M600/6 amp and 10" sub woofer. It all sounds great.
 
I'm using the same speakers, 4 in the cockpit area. I'm not sure I'm putting in a sub
