Last fall I put in a kenwood cd player and 4 speakers, better then what was in the boat. But I don't spend much time sitting in the boat to use it.


I would rather listen to 110+ decibles of SBC

Clarion marine head unit, clarion 6pack changer, two HiFonics 500 watt 2 channel amps, one driving two 10 in subs in boxes under the deck, the other driving 4 Planet audio 6.5" 2 ways. Far from the loudest boom boom system around but exceptionally well balanced and crystal clear. Never actually listen to it over idle speed though.

iPod with 3000 songs loaded. Never skips a
beat out in the ocean!

Old Soundstream 405 5 ch amp.

Here is the link to Andy Buzz's store. He is going to install a stereo in my boat this week. I will post some pictures after. Not quite sure how crazy I am going to get.

Andy does great work if your in the Tampa Bay area. Best of all is he is a fellow OSO'er and gives you a discount. He has done the audio/visiual stuff in my auto's for years.

Update.... replaced the Kenwood head unit with a JVC with sub control. Sounds better than the Kenwood. It also has a much easier to use remote.
