Default 2013 SG audio systems upgrade (PA)

Hi everyone,
I am about to start upgrading my 2013 SG audio system with the below items, and I am looking for the best way to wire everything together:
- Aquatic AV head unit
- 2 soundigital 800.4 4ohm amps in fairing
- 1 Rockford Fosgate DSR1 DSP
- 2 DD VO B3 tweeters 4ohm in fairing
- 2 PRV 6MR500 8ohm in fairing
- 2 PRV 6MR300 SEAL 8ohm in lids
- 2 PRV 8MB600FT 8ohm 1 in each bag
I am open for any suggestions or recommendations on speakers as long as they are in same price range as I still didn't get them yet.

Thanks everyone.

I'm not a fan of the aquatic hu. The rest looks like it's well thought out. Have you laid ears on those 6mr500ndys?

I would try to find someone using them and give a listen. They can be good but they aren't a drop it in and have great sound type speaker. I'm not trying to talk you out of it just be aware that they don't necessarily sound great out of the box IMO.

Do you have any experience with them or heard them before?

Agreed. Had one and was not impressed for the money. It's a great HU for an average dude.

I already have it with the amps and DSP, so I need to deal with it, I only can play around with the speakers selections now.

Those 6mr500 are damn nice speaker. You have a DSP so you can tune
them how you want. They get loud there’s no doubt about that. Good combo with the B3 horns

Any recommendations on the best way to wire the whole setup?

Yes I tired to drop them in my system once and the result was bloody ears and vomit...BUT I will be trying them again with DSP and enclosures. I have read that these two things will make a substantial improvement. Consider using the PRV Audio D250Ph-S in the lids in lieu of the PRV Audio 6MR300SEALv2. Also consider a SD250.2 to run the BO3s on their own channels.
Then wire one horn and one 6.5 to each channel of the SD250.2 and 800.4 then bridge the other 800.4 to the PRV Audio 8MB600FTs.
