This is the package I installed in my boat a few months back, I HIGHLY Recommend the Infinity 6x9's, I found mine for 100 bucks a pair and they sound beyond great, even without an amp.

I have the Infinity PRV250 that Rick linked and I'm really happy with it. It's the only head unit KW installs. I love the Bluetooth capability. It doesn't have a separate "brain" box, it's all one unit which is nice. For speakers, I have a pair of JBL 5-1/4's and 6x9's. It gets louder than I can stand it and then some with no distortion, and the 6x9's produce impressive thump for what they are.

Hey Jess, since you have those 2 gauge blanks in there, why not install a voltmeter and WP gauge?

Sorry, derailment over...

Easy to do on your boat Jess, as you can just unscrew and tilt the gauge panel fwd to access the back side.  Pull your hot, ground, and backlight from the tach for the voltmeter, then jump the backlight lead and ground over to the WP gauge.  

As far as the WP hose, don't know about KW (ask your Dad), but some builders include the hose as part of the main harness...if the boat doesn't get a WP gauge, it's just simply not used.  If your boat doesn't have it, you can get that hose cheap at an auto parts store.  The motor should have a little hose pigtail, probably tucked away in the lower pan.

OK, back to our regularly scheduled stereo programming...
