I might not use the Pioneer headunit I originally listed, I found that Sony headunits like the CDX-GT620 / GT720 / GT820 have a CD signal-to-noise ratio of 120 (db), whereas all Pioneers are rated at 94. The higher number means less background noise.
Question for anybody pertaining to that :
Is there a noticeable difference between 120 and 94 ? I would think so ?

Here is my quote for Mistress including hook up and installation of flat screen and dvd and GPS addition of 2 batteries (total of 4)...thoughts or concerns from the audience?:
1- JL Audio M10IB5 10" Woofer - $160.00
1- JL Audio M4300 4-channel Amp - $240.00
1- JL Audio M1400 Monoblock Amp - $280.00
2pr- JL Audio M650 6.5" Coax Marine Speakers - $200.00/pr - $400.00
1pr- JL Audio M770 7.7" Coax Marine Speakers - $240.00
1- Alpine iDA-X100M Marine Media Receiver - $350.00
1- Alpine MC1 Wired Remote for Receiver - $150.00
1- Alpine KCA-SC100 Sirius Tuner for Alpine Radio - $70.00
1- Sirius SC-C1 Universal Sirius Controller - $70.00
1- Alpine KCA-420i IPOD Adapter for Receivers - $40.00
1- Alpine RUE-M1RF RF Remote for Marine Receivers - $100.00
2- Deep Cycle Batteries - Approx. $300.00
Approx. $350.00 in Misc materials ( starboard / stainless materials / wire / etc. )
Labor - $1850.00 (includes hook up of GPS system, running power wires for TV and DVD, and installation of aux batteries)
As we went over at the marina, we will use the sub in the right rear of the boat and use the existing placement for the new JL coax speakers. We will put an a/b switcher on the speakers in the cuddy to turn them off when the kids are watching tv.
The only issues i believe we will have to address when the boat is down here would be checking the size of the power inverter in the boat and making sure it has enough juice to power the tv, and a Playstation 3 and whatever you decide to plug in. Also the support for the drivers seat may hinder our placement of the front speaker. but those are not huge deals and we will be able to work around them.

The other non-marine ipod controller head units are out though. If you're head unit is out in the weather, use a good cover and it'll be just as good.

I was told that http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/ is NOT a factory authorized dealer for JL and if you buy JL Audio from them theres no factory warranty.Whats to this ???
I am looking for a JL Audio M6600 amp
Was also thinking about replacing all my MB Quarts to the JL Audio M770-CCX 7.7" Marine Coaxial Speakers
