I wonder if you could set up outward speakers on a switch? short of mounting speakers on a wakeboard tower, or a canopy, Im not sure how you would make it louder outside of boat vs inside. Mine are mostly mounted under seats, with 1 sub, on the side of the drivers console, and the other on the side of a compartment on the side of a bench seat. Ill check for pics, but since boat is still in storage, I cant get any right now. JT

That is how mine are done. Before I got an extra amp I wired the switch to flip on the rear speakers. With the amp dedicated to the rear speakers, I just let the switch send the cut-on power to the amp. I can flip it on from the water.

Depending on the head unit, some have dual zones. I'm looking at the Fusion 700 series, and I believe it has dual zones, so you can turn them on / off and adjust volume independently. All depends on how much you want to spend though.
