Newbie to the site and my 2003 270 Sundeck

[Old Man In The Sea Ray]

Hello. Not my first boat, Ive had many, but my first Sea Ray and I'm looking forward to learning the boat and a performing a few upgrades. I'm an all around mechanic but I can always learn something new on forums such as this.
First question:
The Clarion XMD1 is going. I've bought a Fusion to replace it. Sea Ray was kind enough to furnish the build sheet for my boat... thank you SR. I see that it was ordered with the premier stereo with amp/subwoofer. I've pulled the Clarion out and have identified most of the pig tails that will plug and play with my Fusion. However, there is an unconnected blue harness with (2) jacks and a small 16? gage wire. I assume the small wire is for "amp on" and the 2 jacks are for amp/sub input. I'd know a whole lot more if I knew where the sub and/or amp is located. I've poured over diagrams but haven't seen an actual location diagram.
My boat has (6) speakers, (2) up front and (4) in back (cockpit). Both my old and new radios have leads for (2) zones... front and back. Are the (4) speakers in the back coming out of the amp and if so where does the sub fit in?
Apologies for a long explanation, but any input will be appreciated.
Russ

Welcome, Old Man. You may get more focused feedback in the thread dedicated to your boat/model. Someone out there very likely knows the wiring setup for your head unit.

Meander on down to the "sport boat" section and you should be able to find a 270 Sundeck thread. Good stuff...

You can access the amp from inside the little berth, it's on the backside of the dash.

Thank you. Yes, I found the amp and sub too. Now all I need to do is find out was popping my (red) power source fuse. Difficult because it's a new to me boat and the radio didn't work.
BTW,that "little" berth gets damn cozy here in Florida

Thanks Stee(?). Will do. I'm just learning my way around this forum.
