No, some zap straps and velcro go a long way.

If you want a "clean look" then yes spend the money.

If after that you are happy, then good, if not, I'd start by replacing the fairing speakers to something more efficient.
I agree , and you can likely get that amp for under $500 cad.
FS nothing on your shelf to offer up? And you’re in the neighborhood…..lol

lol...I got a 1200.4 EVO that needs repair (can't find anyone local) and a set of Polk MM652's. Possibly a set of GZ Yellow baskets and Hertz Neo 6.5 in the coming months.

No splicing...deck will have RCA preouts...get 6ft of 8gauge ground/power wire and remove the tank to make running the wire easy. 2 set of 1ft RCA cables...and remote turn on wire off the HU - buy a cheap oscilloscope off Amazon to set gains properly without distortion.

This might be a dumb question but I see there’s no jack for rca input on that stinger amp does it come with a plug that goes into the amp to a female rca jack? Or how do you wire from the pre outs on the aquatic deck

It comes with an adapter - allows either RCA or Hi-level input.

Now start doing your own research 😜.
