Fishing Q&A
boat speakers?
i live in florida and do a lot of salt water fishing and boating. so i need speakers that will be able to withstand the saltwater environment. the problem i have is that my center console is not sealed and i have no way to seal it. i want to get regular marine speakers to install in the center console but i hear that they need a enclosed environment to sound good. what should i do? also these are the speakers i want. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2653_MB+Quart+NKA+116.html

- Marine speakers are not that much different to motorcycle speakers, other than for size. Most motorcycle speakers only go up to about 5" due to the limited space on a bike. However, soon as you say "marine", the price goes up. We are the worlds largest dealer/distributor for J&M products and hence can retail their line at a discount. Their speakers for the Honda 1500 and 1800 Goldwings (even due to the about 1" smaller size) have a higher power rating and db rating, carry a lifetime warranty and don't cost that much more for a pair to the single unit price you have. They too are water-proof polypropoline (cores) with corrosion (frames) resisting construction. Our techs can also advise re rear enclosures for your open aplication. As I will not advertise on Yahoo Answer, feel free to email me via my profile and I'll give you the URL for our web site.
- All of the boats that I have worked on seem to have Bose speakers. http://www.bizrate.com/boatskayaks_boatingequipment/products__keyword--boat+speakers__lp--1__sfsk--2.html
- for a middle of the road budget Pioneer and JBL seem to make good ones
